Quote from: Xenomrph on Jul 15, 2017, 06:51:08 AMThat gun image seems familiar, almost like it's an amalgam of the Lacrima-99 from Resurrection and one of the WY weapons from 'Aliens: Colonial Marines' or something.

It's straight out of ACM. It's the Wey-Yu assault rifle with the flamethrower attachment equipped.

Xenomrph

I knew it looked familiar, thanks.

Corporal Hicks

Should have an advanced copy of this on way shortly. Will see what it's like.

Do let us know if they eventually worked out what the Pulse Rifle looked like :laugh:

Will do.  :laugh: I'm hoping that was just a slip-up in the details, though.

I've been reading more on the publishers and the concept of an Augmented Reality book. I know some of Marvel's comics toyed with them but I never bothered with them. However, I'm curious to see how it's implemented here.

I checked out some of their other AR titles and they seem to review well.

Augmented Reality can be legitimately super cool if it's handled well.

I received my review copy yesterday. I only had a quick flick through but it looks like they sorted this. Will double-check later. I had a go on a few of the AR things too. There's videos that play "on the page" through the app and there's a bulk of about 8 AR "activities" in the middle of the bulk.

I had a go on the egg analysis which was fune. And I tried one where you had to land a dropship. Controls and perspective were a little hard to get the hang off but still kinda cool.

I checked and it's been replaced with a section on the Assault Rifle. The Pulse Rifle gets a bigger spread later on.

Well, well, well.

So the artist used my ALIEN Egg untextured sculpt picture: http://www.zbrushcentral.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=271906

Can anybody show me further scans of the book. Would like to dig there after.

Thanks.

Bonus points for that then :laugh:

Without your knowledge? Is that not... theft?

Saw the book and the egg picture today the first time. Super lame actually.

Yeah. I donĀ“t mind if I get asked, at least that should be possible, as the picture which is used is only on the web with my signature.

Here a comparison gif:

I believe that may even be the model used in the AR video.

How come, without a 3D file?

Anyway, I appreciate any more info about the book and the virtual content. Not really eager right now to toss money after them. Thanks.
