Vanadium Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) Poor Vauban, he has what has to be the most flair-less set of animations in the game. Worst still, his curious design lends itself poorly to the animation sets of other Warframes, leaving him with a depressing lack of personality. Noble, just tooling aroud: Looking like a wood plank with a bad attitude, fists clenched, ready to bore the system into oblivion. Humor beware. Noble, action pose: Now, looking like a wood plank with space-constipation. Poor Vabs... Agile, just chilling out: I don't have a problem with this one. As far as agile poses go, this one is pretty ok, since most others look like they're about to fall over, or half-way through a leg lunge. Agile, showing off: [space-constipation intensifies] Why the boring poses? Where's the flair? Here a few ideas to put a spring in this space-Frenchman's step: -Takes out a few grenades and juggles, ending with an orbiting finale. -Pantomimes a wall, creating a miniature Bastille section -Pulls up a Cephalon from a wrist comm, does some debugging -Pulls up a holographic screen, presses all the buttons -Gets a grenade maglocked to his hand, struggles to unstick it for a bit. I don't know why I imagine him clowning around. Maybe it's the space-shoes, the space-Frenchiness, maybe he's just a goofy frame to begin with. All I know is that this Frame is in desperate need of a flair-buff. P.S. The Yamako Syadana placement could use a tweak: The blue outlines the spine plugs, the red outlines the Yamako's horns. The yellow attempts (poorly) to show the horns being moved and centered on the spine plugs, removing clipping issues and looking like the Syadana is integrated with the frame.

Karukiku Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 He always looked kinda weird to me, but I love him for that Dead Space look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nesit1 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I use Noble Limbo animations on him and feel fine.Anyway, I agree with your opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Limbo animations make everything fabulous. Edited April 29, 2015 by Vanadium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackout751 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 This is a problem I never realised was one. I like each warframe having their own flair to them with their own personality and you pretty much captured Vauban's in the concept animations you listed.

DJ_Vauban Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 That Vauban is obviously an imposter, tsk tsk tsk. Everybody knows that Vauban is the master race and he...or rather I am as fabulous as I have to be. People nowadays... <w< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking about the space-beret, apparently people...I mean those other imposters use it so rarely, that others don't even know what it is when they see it A few days ago someone approached me and asked "is that a new helmet?" -w- you get my point, I'm like a unicorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanadium Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 Shameless self-bump. Also, where's Vauban's new helmet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noble_Cactus Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Yeah, I've always found Vauban's Noble pose unfitting for his character when he's not holding a weapon (he looks like the one guy doing the wallflower because his friend brought him to a rave against his own will). Especially the idle animation. That's something I'd expect to see on Rhino, not a frame modeled after a famous engineer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechaTails Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) I like how delicate he looks with Saryn's stance lol [more noticeable when animated] Edited April 28, 2015 by DarkTails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Vauban Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Just noticed I posted something in this thread before owo but you know what? http://a.pomf.se/ecqhex.webm Can't get any more fab than that owo for those who didn't see it yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapt0rman Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) Personally I find both Vauban's noble and agile stances to Be EXTREMELY awkward in general, he looks like he has a stick shoved up his butt. Just noticed I posted something in this thread before owo but you know what? http://a.pomf.se/ecqhex.webm Can't get any more fab than that owo for those who didn't see it yet Remove Booben!

Noble_Cactus Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) White, black, and orange seems to be a really popular color scheme for Vauban. Heck, I even use it, and here I was thinking I was original until I started seeing other trappermen flaunting my flair. To be fair, he's actually rather difficult to color. Most other schemes end up making him look like he's wearing a clownsuit. Edited April 30, 2015 by Noble_Cactus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil_Brick Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 The reason for his constipation is very obvious. Just think for a moment, where do you propose the orbs he uses actually come from? Where does he keep them? Exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanadium Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 Dude you just don't understand. He's... Tacticool. I didn't know constipation and tacticool were tight like that. I always thought it was about putting stuff on your gun until it collapses and implodes on itself, creating a tiny black hole cool-paradox. My mistake.
