Description SCR-112 SCARAB Mech model.

Model made in Wings 3d.
Rendered in Lightwave 9.2.

This is my version of the Battletech/Mechwarrior Catapult.

This strange version of the Catapult designated the (SCR-112) or SCARAB as our intelligence officers like to call it! Has arms with lasers in them to give it some close defense. It also seems to be equipped with 2 autocannons. The missile loadout is good. It has 2 x 20 LRM or SRM capability. It also has (BAP) Beagle Active Probe, Enviroment Masking Technology and reactive armor.

This version of the catapult also has jump capability and extra armor. The 'mech weighs 100 tons and still has great performance thanks to pirated tech stolen from many sources! It's also has plenty of modular components for different weapon loadouts. There is only known to be one of these 'mechs in existence. The owner is a renegade pirate in the outer rim. Known only as the dark one. He is the king of a bandit tribe with no name. Further contact is needed for more detailed readouts on this 'mech type.

Shit... Dude, you've modeled all this is in Wings 3D? I've underestimated, both you, and Wings. Please forgive me.

I have to get back into modeling...

Yeah it is... But it always come off very simple. My brother always told me to do more stuff in Lightwave, Because it's a professional modeler, and I'd be using something like that in the future, if I wanted to follow 3D art more in-depth (Games, tv ads, movies... etc.)

But I think you've proved that Wings is powerful.

damn lag lol.. also if its packing reactive and a anti sensor masking what kind of H.sinks is it carrying as running with those on cuts down on the venting capacity of the mech due to dampaners and the like; unless your doing the anti sensor system the way MechAsstard (heh) runs it, and you just go inviso and theres no apparent down side? still good ride, and its about time someoen re made that old relic to be a bit more on par with other 3058+ era battlemechs.

Haha! Well I wish I could think about that many details for this mech. Hey? Can I get you to come up with some cool specs for it? You know a lot more about the details of tech.

aight time for one of my rundowns lesse.. 100ton assault with jumpers? scary as theres not a lot of those, it gives it a hell of a advantage in a close fight or to squeeze a few more meters of range out of the LRM racks, what class laser does it carry from the size of the arms id say small; however its 100 tonnes so, mdlas? mdpulse?, whats the mixture for the AC, cluster or slug; personally ive found that cluster rounds mix well with a LRM mech, as the missiles cause armor breach and the cluster submunitions break in farhter to reach to the vital endo skeleton and myomer bundles. not bad overall; if its a pirate mech on the Preheipiary, take an eyeball at perhaps the marian hegemony or the tauraian concordat for colors as they have pirate ties in varying levels depending on what era your in.

TDBK In reply to LeopoldGarrity [2007-05-08 08:02:16 +0000 UTC]

Well, I did not really think it out in complete detail. I was thinking large lasers in the arms and 2x Ac5 ultras in the torso with lots of ammo. LRMs or SRMs of course as well.

"Known only as the dark one. He is the king of a bandit tribe with no name." I loled, what can I say?

Aside that, top work on that mech. Gonna bake & low-poly it? Either way, top class! Speaking of which, will we ever see it move?

TDBK In reply to Terrarist [2007-05-07 05:42:07 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, this one will for sure get a texture. I think it's good enough to warrant the time.

Have you ever considered doing some low-poly, normal mapped versions of these guys?

Your work is super sweet.

Thank you!

Yes, I have considered it! unfortunately I have such limited time and my interest is not really in games. I would love to do a mech game though don't get me wrong.. but, I really would love to make a mech movie. I do use normal maps on my high poly stuff. While they are great for giving detail to lower poly models they are also excellent for minor details on high poly work.

Hello!

Thank you. The Catapult is on my list of 5 top Battletech mechs. I just never really liked the center part of the "official" version. I'm so happy I can make my own versions in 3d!
