I peiced together an animation test for a rendition of chapter 1. i have so far done the truck stopping and malmots face with morph targets for expression. http://www.angelfire.com/bug/tremault/ let us know what ya think!

Try this http://img52.photobucket.com/albums/v15 ... Ravage.jpg Nice pics dude!

Thats pretty neat! What did you use for the material? It looks like a toon shader with a bump map applied am i close? or is it a high poly mesh with a displacement map?

check it out im sure some of you guys would be interested. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... RK:MESE:IT and http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... RK:MESE:IT and no im not crazy i just have a lot of stuff and very little space.

I looked for somewhere to put this but couldn't find any other topic. i apologise if its in the wrong place. I have recently recieved the first two books of the translation of guyver. For anyone who was deciding wether or not to go for them, I will describe them. The print quality of the books is slightly inferior to that of the original but far better than the viz prints. The paper is of a thinner quality. The book is in the same format and aspect as the original(you read right to left). The translation itself is performed by differnet people for different books. as a result the writing takes on a different quality. Book 1 is amazing! it is not simply translated but it is written much like a novel. book 2 is very good in that respect but a couple of places have errors that can really distract. eg "I having really scared" instead of " I was terrified". That kind of thing (except i went to extremes to illustrate). All in all a very nice product. If you are super picky like me get the japanese and the Chuang yi books. As for the viz books, With these new translations coming out theyre not worth bothering with. Hope this info helps everyone!

The guyver when activated changes the hosts body structure removing unnecessary organs and upgrading others,(youngguyver brushed on this) therefore the 'host' doesnt have the same needs as a regular human. Like sweating. also the two 'breathers' on the face are not for breathing they are for adapting to atmospheric conditions. so if the guyver was in space they would adjust to suit the lack of pressure and also the tempurature. Many of the guyvers weapons operate on the principle of vibration causing sound and shock waves and the like and while temperature is simply different states of vibrating mollecules then i dont see any reason why guyver would let someting so trivial as this affect it.

no probs, Thanks dude.

Basically yes the viz graphic novels. if you want them then put a bid on them (it is pretty high now). you are protected by ebay and if the item does not arrive then i am obligated to deal with it. if i dont deal with it, you get in touch with ebay. And i get bad feedback. (which i certainly don't want with my so far perfect record!)

I do apologise if this topic has been covered before. What first got you into the guyver? Why do you now love it enough to frequent this message board? For me it all started when i was twelve and my brother saw an advert in a magazine for a new video series called guyver. he bought the first ep and though it was ok. I watched it and thought "Not bad". Then episode 2 came out. For a 12 year old kid in 1992 there were a lot of good cartoons like he man, thundercats, etc. there were none where the opponent was the same as the hero yet more skilled. This just blew me away. The design alone of guyver 2 was awesome with the dysfunctional medal and the mental fighting skills. and then the moment when sho overcame a far superior adversary! Wow i get goosebumps as i write this! From that moment on i was obsessed!

Good point. I live in the uk and we don't have those things here so thats my weak excuse! Although i did hear somewhere that a tazer can cause some really nasty damage to people?

Bad guys are seen as more evil based on how much they make you hate them! In that case the highest on my list would have to be Kefka. then very close after him it is sephiroth and them luca blight(suikoden 2). reason being, i liked them to start off with and then they did something that was totally twisted and turned my world upside down. Evil is subjective so this can't really be argued effectively but yeah most of these guys are pretty nasty!

Thats why you should bid on them!! seriously though if they start cheap theres more chance of people looking at it. it translates to about 10 dollars. even if they do sell for that then at least its better than them lying there doing nothing!

Zero unit, I just understood nothing you said. I think you ought to read the rules again about punctuation and role playing etc. I think this weapon is great! I mean with these weapons like mace and tazers and the such i was starting to get afraid of going out anywhere. With this at least if you find yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time you can protect yourself without actually harming anyone. I like that idea!

I decided i dont need them any more so please take a look! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... RK:MESE:IT and http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... RK:MESE:IT

take a look at the head poking out of the top left of chaos mode. i think its his arm.

OMG!!! WOW! (wipes the drool off his top) That looks soo cool!

It seems to me that the guyver unit, when bonding with the host, takes a look at the hosts inherent abilities and then amplifies them by use of the power amplifiers. it also has some of its own weapons data stored in the control medal. in bonding with aptom the guyver would analyse him and then place the power amps in the appropriate places and put to the appropriate use. the medal is a slave to the hosts will so it would not harm aptom and if it is in aptoms dna to absorb extra dna then the medal would configure itself to allow that. i feel that once aptom had bonded with the unit he would have no use for the medal because thorugh coml;etely absorbing the bio booster creature and obtaining the weapons data the medal would simply have no purpose. it would not need to keep any cdreature under control. aptom could simply discard it. this may be foolish however because if he discards it it would simply rebuild him . with aptom not being able to absorb anythjing that the medal has control over(as seen in cloud gate when aptom becomes chaos aptom), the control medal would probably become the real aptom. in the long run aptom wouldnt merge with the guyver he would become something else entirely. a self sufficient control medal reegulated bio booster organism.

dont you mean july? (thats what altavista translated it as.. sorry wasn't trying to be clever i just didnt read the title) so, July 1st.... (rubs his hands together and chuckles maniacally)

Sorry my bad its what agito was thinking i forgot the ""!

agito has a one track mind. He wants what's inside the relic(poss. another gigantic unit) and will stop at nothing to get it. zoalords? what are they?

It does seem that this version of aptom, does not have all the previous abilities. this could be because he isn't in control and the zoalord doesn't know how to tap into al his powers. i mean at one point sho crushes a part of aptom with his hand. being that aptom has the abilities of enzyme his hand should be dissolving but it isnt. this leads me to believe that this current version is only a cumulation of the zoanoids he has just absorbed.

even though, saying that, It does remind me an awful lot of AZRAEL from the knightfall story.... Guyver Knight, Was this your influence?

I have one. (in the background of the first pic) http://www.geocities.com/drag-5/guyver3max/guyv3.htm im not sure if i would sell it though....... give me an offer!

I know these are ancient, but i remember some really annoying master system games.... The 1st was the second jungle stage on sonic 1. you would fight to get all the way up to the top, dying multiple times, then get to robotnic who was impossible!! i used the worst language i have ever used playing that level! and 2nd is not technically a level but it is annoying. shinobi on the master system. you could slave away all day trying to get through this game. one day i got to the end and after an immense effort of skill i beat him. eager for my reward i.e. the end sequence/music, i was rudely greeted with GAME OVER. that was it. FURY!!!

You could take tekken, and mix it with tiger woods golf. a fighting game where you can actually improve your characters and make it worthwile actually going though the game. and you can buy extra accessories like the nike shorts or the reebock pumps etc. and then theres the addition of golf clubs. you could have a bit where you have to aim the golf ball at your opponent and the only way to win the fight is to knock out your opponent and then play golf with their mouth being the hole. maybe that bit wouldnt make it to the final game....
