I'd personally change the 2 longs on the sword handle and in the legs to black. I like the red ones in the staff. The rest is great. Other than the fire sword (which can be swapped for black), I think all of that could be made using existing parts. I love the end of that staff.

Thanks, I was looking exactly for that effect, as well with chest, which is mostly filled out

Here's a shot from the back

>>5207785
>I'd personally change the 2 longs on the sword handle and in the legs to black
I left them like that because of my autism to make them like in current set colours, but made an exception when it came to the head, because it would stand TOO much

>Other than the fire sword (which can be swapped for black),
I tried with a black fire sword but it seemed too bland

>I think all of that could be made using existing parts
This was my intention somewhat, as I tried to do this in normal LDD. But then I said fuck it and went back to Extended, since it's a lot easier to use colored parts. But yeah, I think the most most dificuly thing would be the trans-orange glatorian head, which in normal LDD does not appear, but I haven't checked if it exists IRL

Otherwise thank you for the compliments, specially the staff which I also love

Got a self-moc too. Not to sure myself what self-moc generally means, but I know what it means for me. When I started to get into Bionicle, I knew that I wanted to have at least one moc to tell a story about. So I took one of my favourite elements, altered the colour scheme a bit (sonics, gunmetal instead of dark grey, also dark blue accents), took my favourite Kanohi and developed a character that has influences of my own rl character.

Proportions and shape are pretty good for something as low-poly as that. Shame you couldn't shape a bit of the mouth, but still pretty decent for what it is.

I was really eager to get the Skeletons for all the great pieces to use for my team of villains but I after getting Warrior I realized I don't have much use for them aside from the weapons and the chest armor. The ribcage torso looks too wide for most characters I need to use it for and the new add-on looks weird for the most part. The skull mask I have looks awesome, though I haven't found a use for it yet.

Maybe I should just grab the pieces I need from Bricklink. I definitely need to get Ekimu and Kulta, though.

Working on this Tahu revamp.

My other revamps have a bunch of little features (gali has a tiny drone, serrated dagger, classic hooks on holdout, etc), but I dont really know what little features to give tahu. He's just some swoll guy with swords.

My girlfriend suggested a welders mask. I really want to do that, but I'm having a lot of troubles getting one made. Anybody ever made a welders mask or goggles that could fit over tahu's fatass mask? Even if it's connected to his back or shoulders

It's a reboot, but there are a lot of references to the old series, like the Toa names, personalities and designs, the main villain is a character named Makuta, Ekimu concept-wise is a something between Mata Nui and Artakha, there's an event called the Great Cataclysm, and other things.

You should try working on better feet, I think. The MOC overall is good, but the feet (and calves actually) are a bit too long for the rest of the body. Also this foot mold doesn't look good with the rest of the MOC. As said before, though, the shoulder assembly make the MOC look good.

Pretty much every Bionicle playset was shit. They had some decent recolors but were otherwise shit due to how shitty they made the figures and how out of place they were compared to the constraction sets.

Once every two months at most.

The 2005 playsets I thought were pretty decent as far as structures go, but the figures for that year were dogshit. 2006 was a step up for figures but the sets were shit. 2007 had TTC as literally the only good one, though I personally dislike vehicle system sets so overall that year was a miss in terms of playsets. I feel like replacing them with vehicles in 2008 was the right idea since those were compatible with the figures, though in a perfect world I would have preffered giant rahi.

The titans were okay. Everything else was pretty shit, clone sets with awkwardly wide and flat torsos, it was also the year they dropped gear functions. Plus the Inika masks weren't compatible with any other head piece and the Inika head piece was literally the worst bionicle piece.

2004 had some of the best designed sets, even if the new colors made them really bland. 2001 is a subjective favorite of mine just because of the variety of sets and the fact that it had big monster sets, which I have a softspot for.

They literally just took castle, threw in robots and shit to make it 'cool', and are then going to puke out a show that is literally Ninjago but with mecha knights instead of Mecha Ninjas. Any kid buying these sets isn't going to take them apart and do something creative with them, they are going to buy them because they are things from the show.

Lego only needs to keep churning out the same mediocre city sets every year and it keeps afols happy. The only good system sets nowadays are the SW UCS sets, and the modular buildings, but those barely ever come out. I welcomed LotR at first as a nice stand-in for castle, providing a similar type of thing, but then the hobbit movie ruined that by being a setpiece-fest rather than having any well-designed locations, lego had to make the movie-tie in sets which are pretty much all mediocre, and we will probably never see any other LotR licensed sets anymore.

Being a Bonkle fan I know this is a bit of a hypocritical thing to say, but I feel like if the founder of lego saw what it was today, he would feel pretty sick.

You see, the rich / irresponsible with money people (who win all the BZPower contests) can buy hundreds of every set, and thus they can make MOC's all the colors of the rainbow. However, sensible people who purchased one of every set are really limited to making something black, silver, or gray if they want it to be big (which it has to be to be considered good by the BZP community). By creating this idea that MOC's of those three colors are instantly and objectively bad, you have guaranteed the same people will win every contest for the forseeable future.

If he had been around at Bionicle's inception things would probably have stayed pretty similar to how they were 2001-2003, perhaps a bit more lighthearted, but it definitely would never have gone the 2006 route, blasters would never have been allowed to be a thing. We also would have gotten almost no 'human enemies' and probably more things along the lines of the Rahi / Bohrok, where you make them friendly rather than killing them.

Honestly wouldn't have been too bad.

It's the same sorta design style as things in the Lego movie, and saying that nothing in that movie seemed at all sorta hipster-ish would just be a lie, it was all "lol fight the system gotta meme look how quirky I am", wasn't so bad in the movie itself, but the follow up material just made it awful. The same sorta thing is spilling over into these Nexo Knight things.

No, I want goddamn lego castle, my favorite lego system sets are always buildings, specifically castles, I can get the most play value out of them, and the cleanest experience when it comes to taking apart and putting together the sets in new ways. I wasn't too hard on Nexo knights at first, because I figured it was just going to be another new theme like Ninjago vaguely inspired by castle, but after that video its very clear that this is replacing castle from now on, and it will sell, and we will never get castle again.

Do we literally have nothing Bionicle to discuss today? I think there are like 3 anons in this thread today and nothing interesting being said. I might just go try and MOC something whatever.

Tank Castle isnt too bad, I dont like the pieces used for the towers, and its not as good as a solid standard castle, but its fine (I would have preferred if it was a stationary castle with high-tech defenses, but I guess unlike me every single kid likes vehicle sets so whatever). The vehicles that come with it though are so disgustingly badly designed and I would have rathered they put those parts into making the back of the castle a bit less shitty.

I got the rit DYE MORE, and the feet had the worst time soaking in the dye after multiple attempts. To make matters worse I think I overheated the gear box so it got a bit distorted and made it VERY HARD to slot in axels. I ended up doing multiple water boilings to make the axels try and fit through the holes.

I should have just spraypainted the damn thing... I might go bricklink replacement parts later.
>>
>>5211345
That's some next level heresy anon, and the fact that you are going to look for more of these limited parts there will never be more of and destroy them forever because of your failed attempt at destroying the one you currently have forever makes things even more scary.

Crisis really hasn't changed much in the time between when I first built him and now.

Thanks! Actually, I took a photo of a head from the side, drew the wireframe on it and then built it in blender while measuring the irl piece with a ruler. Good thing it's a simple shape. Things that are diagonal in more than two axis are impossible for me. And don't worry about the face. I'll revisit it later. I'm thinking about making it animation-styled so as to support a texture mouth for expressions (kinda like Robot Chicken). But since the head will be covered by a mask anyway, there's no real need.
I'm also thinking about modeling the unreleased head, or something based on it.

On the subject of polies, I try to learn modeling by studying meshes from C&C, Worldshift and Starcraft 2 and I'm pretty confused about what details I should model, texture or ignore. There's also the issue that I don't know what platform I should model for (pc game mod, unity pc game, android app etc) or if what I'm making will even be used by anyone at all.

>I wish I had motivation to do any 3D bonkle stuff, I have the know-howbut no reason to make anything.

I, on the other hand, am monumentally motivated to mess with others. If I had the skill, I'd model a supermodel-shaped Gali and a slutty Korgot with purple crystal (amethyst?) stripper shoes just to see the BZP/FB sjws screech in rage.
I'd also create fake leaks about cancelled G1 games. For example, a MoL-style Metru game that was cancelled because the LoMN movie needed extra funding.
In fact, I have a few assets from various games lying around that could be used to fake a cut level from the original bonkle game.

I'd also use my hypothetical skills to model non-bonkle stuff like the ABC Warriors, or this here goddess.

You're completely right. You're not gonna lose any posability because the angles are the exact fucking same. Maybe next time actually try they connection I suggested before writing it off completely.

Still no Bionicle at NYCC?

Seems like only nexo at nycc sorry /biog/

I've always found it disappointing how little the Toa really use their elemental powers. There's no crazy shit like in Avatar or whatever, they only ever use them as weapons and even then it's a backup for their actual weapons. Anyone else feel this way?

I just hope that UtD stays digitigrade, though coming up with a new leg design would also be nice (I built Hunter's and it looks fine, but still would be nice for something a bit better).

Do remember that it looks like every single Uniter + Umarak the Hunter has a custom torso build using technic, with a big new bionicle mold chest pieces put overtop the technic assembly.

He's pretty cool, cape is a nice size and texture and he's very covered up. (Even his back has a shell despite the cape.

My twelve year old cousins birthday is coming up fast. He loves LEGO and I was thinking this year I would get him some of the new Bionicle sets. Which 2 should I get him? I'm also thinking of just getting him Grievious. What do you think?
>>
>>5214526
Onua and Ekimu/Kulta.

If you're not feeling Ekimu/Kulta since it's expensive, then settle for a Skull Warrior. Or Basher, if you want the mask stealing action.

Finalized pictures when?
>>
>>5214533
This only confirms that I'll get Gali/Akida as my second pair.

Onua will be my first, yet again. Not feeling like breaking a tradition this late. He was my first Mata, Nuva, Mistika and Master.
>>
>>5214533
Not at NYCC that's for sure...
>>
>>5214303
I was wondering about that.
Umm Pohatu at least kicks a big rock?
>>
>>5214536
Personally not feeling Onua this time around, maybe the finalized pictures will emphasize the lines a bit better and it will look less like Whenua Metru's mask, but as it stands the mask just looks really bland.

My first two Toa were Tahu and Lewa Mata, and thankfully this time around they are two of the best ones (plus Uxar is my favorite creature so far), so I will probably get those four on my first run to the Lego store (plus Umarak maybe).

Not sure about Gali right now, that asymmetric build looks really awkward, but it could just be the angle.
>>
>>5214335
Goddamn that's literally a perfect fit of the song for the line I haven't heard the full version in so long.

As much as I don't think 2015's theme is bad (overused sure, but not bad), the 2001 theme was just so much more atmospheric, it's metroid prime-tier at many points.
>>
>>5214536
For me, it's always been Lewa -> Kopaka -> Gali.

I'll take the god-character kicking ass over Mata Nui sleeping and/or dying for 8 years.

Check how the knees/elbows and the axe and swords are connected.

He also did some sanding down on the Hau, I think. Other small variations that escape my mind at the moment. It's what allowed him to keep the builds so thin.

Does anyone really know why the lime green parts broke so easily? I heard that they're was some sort of heating error in the factory but I cant find anything on it.
>>
>>5215024
I classify the trans miru as a kaukau, because I could not duplicate the color of it.

The metru green miru was my attempt.

The hero factory heroes broke into the lego factories in denmarl and sabotoged the plastic vats so that bionicle reign would end, and hero factories reign could begin.

Hero factory is actually Slizer 2.0, they just wanted a reboot, but it was shit because there werent enough discs, so everyone wanted bionicle to come back, but there still arent any discs.

That was Bionicle. HF is Slizer 3.0.

I wasn't paying much attention during 2004. Why are these guys (except Ahkmou) despised so much?
>>
>>5215194
Well I just personally went through my old sets and had forgotten that I even owed them so basically boring sets with an incredibly simple and boring build
>>
>>5215194
>>5215203
Also, the torsos are so much POOP.

>>5215203

I like to think of them as the ancient ancestor to CCBS style sets.
>>
>>5215212
Now now CCBS is nowhere near as bad they can have builds that look good with mobility as well

>>5215203
They're almost as bad as the agori.

>>5215215
You have to walk before you can run. The Av-matoran were what I consider the first CCBS sets, they were on par with the Metru Matoran in terms of simplicity and blandness. CCBS has improved by leaps and bounds since then. Now since it is fully implemented, Lego can cut down expenses and maximize profits by throwing a fully new/recolored pieces and call it a set while still looking good and being functional at the same time.

Despite the advantages of CCBS, I personally still like the non CCBS system. Everything I build with CCBS system feels fundamentally the same.
