[July Release] Reinforcements add on kit

Added 2023-07-01 03:44:44 +0000 UTC

[Edit: The ChucklingSquids Pre-Supports are up on PWG And that's it. That's all the fishmech, we're done here~

There was also an a small fix on the PosedArms_SingleArm_Pose4 but for some reason, the sphere wasn't actually there. A remodel of the area fixed it, and I've re-uploaded the files to the reinforcement packs. Specifically replacing the RawOBJs_Rifles_PosedArms.zip and the SupportedOBJs_Rifles.zip in the Koi/Mako reinforcement pack.]

Alright, last one~ I really just kinda wanted to have fun with this one, and while I didn't get quite as much done as I had originally planned, I still think I managed to get a bunch of things wrapped up that I'd been wanting to get to for a while now xD
I'm gonna kinda go through the different bits and Bobs based around the base unit (if they have one)

Goby Leader: A little se of preposed goby to lead your units~ they've got damaged or un-damaged capes and come in 2 poses. Some of these pieces should be compatible with previous Goby pieces, although given the nature of the monopose stuff I'm not sure to what extent.

Mako/Koi bits:
First things first, I tweaked some of the original torsos to work with a more current hip, that you see in most of the renders here.
Secondly I worked up a torso specifically for a Ring style piece (god I love the ring styled stuff, expect more of that with the VC.) Although the Ring isn't necessary to the torso, just a nice add-on~ This should work with all previous Mako thruster packs, and I've also included a slightly updated version of those thrusters as well (also backwards compatible).
Thirdly, I added some up-scaled Disk knee legs . With one being styled after the normal leg ball joint (with it's own foot type) and one that's similar to the Odonata legs, with optional little blade pieces~
Fourthly, I went through and modeled up a handful of Rifle esque weapons for the Mako/Koi theses should for the most part be cross compatible. I'm not sure on the held poses being up-scalable for other frames as the shoulder width varies a bit, but all of the one handed poses should be usable with the different frames and some scaling~. This also includes an Undermounted piece so you can use the rifle barrels as undermounted weapons too if you want.
Speaking of undermounts, I also modeled up an undermount weapons drone. I really like the concept of offloading main weapon systems to drones, so this was a long time coming. They should work with *most* of the main undermount weapons, but I can think of a few that wouldn't (like the Mako undermount weapons) I also added a lil chainsaw, cause they're like a tiny lil' pochita, c'mon.
And Fithly (totally a word) I put together a lil' light skimmer bike for the Goby. It's got a few variations to play around with, and I think looks to be pretty useful over the past variants I've done (that I've never really been happy with xD)

It should be a pretty rounded out pack, and each thing should have a pre-plate depending. I want to try and include the pieces so that you can make most of the things rendered without needing a past kit, and you wouldn't be able to assemble like, a standard Mako off of this add on,so overall this will be greatly enhanced with the koi/mako kits~

I've got one more thing I'm working on, but it's not done yet but I'm really trying to finish it up, it's something I've wanted to make for a while now, but wasn't ever really able to, be it skill with fusion, or just, it didn't really fit in with anything mainline. But I'll throw a lil Teaser image at the end, and then later on I'll update this with the final pics.

As always, everything should be up on the 4th of July, and is currently being pre-supported by Atlas, and I have a few things I want to specifically test, but once everything's tested I'll have it up on PWG~

See you guys next with the VoidCrafted~
