[PortalStormzzzz]

My first attempt at the cut Hydra for a Half Life film I'm making.

Suggestions?

For anyone who doesn't know what the hydra was. a scrapped monster, mostly due to technical issues. Says so in raising the bar.

[PortalStormzzzz]

Pesmerger, if I may be so bold to ask, WTF IS THAT?

[Druckles]

A Hydra. What did you expect it to be?

[soulslicer]

Please add a decent shader to the skin if the hydra, a bit of phonging and stuff, and bumpmapping..and it'll be fine..

[PortalStormzzzz]

It's actually the 2nd thing I've ever made in XSI. I'm learning very quickly.

Pesmerga, isn't that D2?

[xcellerate]

yea that's D2...god I played so much of that game.

Reinstalled.

:dork:

[Pesmerga]

Haha, I'm playing right now with Pitz and TCfromBN

:p

:p

I can't play - my computer apparently doesn't support DirectDraw or Direct3D becuase my LCD can't go into 640x480 16-Bit color.

;(

edit: nvm, it seems to work now.

[xcellerate]

i was trying to reinstall it last week, but i left my LOD cd at home! I have the v1.0 d2 discs and v1.07 LOD cd, I always mess up the install process..because I think you can't update before installing LOD otherwise it gives you errors. I think...

[Acepilotf14]

I got bored. Meh.

Hmm, fail with Hydra build

EPIC DAMAGE CAPPAGE AT 600!
Then again fire = :(

[Atomic_Piggy]

Its not bad portal. I think Hydra's are supposed to have three heads? I'm not an expert in ancient shizze mind you.

Anyway, add some shading, bumpmapping and shit.

[xcellerate]

it always pissed me off that hydra had a casting delay and the assassin's traps don't. They're both the same damn thing, but one of them has a casting delay?!
