Mega Man 3D Energy Tank Tutorial (easy)

Postby BrYaN55 on Wed Nov 11, 2009 1:21 pm

OK, this is a rather easy and simple tutorial, I'm sure most of you advanced sprite beader, don't need a tutorial to make these. But I saw some 3D Energy Tank here and there, and they weren't too accurate for my liking. So here's how I do mine.

First of all, you need to make these sprites:
Image
Download and open in your favorite image editor.

Image
Try to make sure that the pieces are not curved, the more flat they are the better.

Image
Take both side marked "E" (#1) and put some glue on the 2 row of beads at the top and bottom, and glue the first 2 row of the respective sprite on it (#2).

Image
It should give you something like that.

Image
Do the same thing for the left and right side (#3), and glue the top & bottom (#4).

Image
You should have this.

Image
Take the base (#5), and glue one of the black 12x12 square (#7) in the middle, leaving a row of bead all around.

Image
Do the same thing for the Lid (#6) with the other black square 12x12 (#7)

Image
Now, all you need to do, is to glue together the remainning parts. Put glue around the black square on the base, and apply the sides around. Also put glue on the sides to make them hold together.


Image
Use a 2x2 beads sprite glued to the top for a handle. Or, If you don't want a lid, you can simply glue the lid to the tank.

I know I could have explained a little better here and there. Even if I understand english pretty much perfectly, I have some problems when I actually have to write in english. Because I forgot some words that I don't use often, or I don't "structurate" my sentences correctly. I know there's something not perfect when I read myself and it's not as fluent as when I read others. But well, I'm sure it will be easy to decipher for expert english readers like you :grinbig:

I'm just wondering what kind of glue you use.
Bender: How many idiots does it take to operate a remote control?

Fry: uh....I give up.

Bender: Your mama Ah haha!
