Cannoneer FFV

Usually, when I see this kind of thread, I think something like "If this idea were any more banal, I'd climb into my own deep-frier to die horribly and be away from it. I'd consider that a net gain, if I could still consider anything."

This time, I'm thinking, "I really want to shoot one of those at something." I just can't help it. Somehow, this concept is irresistible. Like nachos. Damn. I want a giant cannon.

Hey Mooshy,

Quick question, could you shed some light on what process you used to edit the character models? 3Ds Studio Max? Something else?

I've been wanting to do a 3D ffxi art piece forever, but I've only skimmed on the information on how to best do it. I have Zbrush but I'm still not sure how I would pop in the framework of a ffxi character into the software. Thanks /

I just do the basic DAT-MQO in Model Viewer, then edit in Metasequoia. It has a basic rendering option for pretty pictures (although lighting is a bit odd sometimes). If you plan on putting them back into the game you cant delete or add any vertexes in Meta. That has to be done in VRS which is a whole other thing to tackle! And im sure the mods would go cray cray lol

Wow, so it hasn't changed from way back when I read about the process eh? Gotta look up that Metasequoia software then. Thanks a ton Mooshy /

King I have to say that I always enjoy a post from you like this. They are well thought out and explained in depth, then to top it all off you add art to making your posts all the more badass.

Thats all I have on this and all your past topic so far but I'll keep my eye out for more of your posts like this.

This is down right awesome, usually I'm used to shooting stuff like this down on the basis of it being too over the top, but for some reason I can see this being manipulated into our current era and actually being awesome. I mean for the longest time I wished that RNGs and other gun wielding classes could use a giant gun, I mean hell when I heard the Armageddon, I was like OMG! This gun is going to be the damn size of a old Style Musket rifle!.... yet it never happened and I still feel a bit of it is diminished due to size. I would kill for a giant boom stick to blow things way with.

Just a Cannoneer class would be cool to see, it could be a class that takes time to set up and reload it's weapon (so increased delay for sure) but deals large damage to compensate, possibly the special ability could be to 'Build' (somewhat similar to summon) a Cannon, complete with full customization of the Cannon (taking a page out of the Puppetmaster's book there) but instead of attacking autonomously, have it behave like a regular weapon would.
