j'ordos Posted June 21, 2003 Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 (edited) well, in workshops someone asked for a rounder elerium version, but I can't post there, so here is an attempt at it (ok it's not flat-shaded, sorry. If needed that can be done easily, so...) http://users.skynet.be/fa220383/xcomufo/crystalorb.jpg Edited September 3, 2003 by j'ordos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revenant4 Posted June 21, 2003 Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 That would have been me that asked for the rounder Elerium...your concept art is much much better than the more spiky versions...but...the idea I was getting at was that it was a rock of some sort...my main question was if Elerium was mined, or if it was a molecular structure we're able to harness...if it's mined I think it should look like a chunk of a rock w/ squarish/roundish edges...now I'm not sayin that Earth mines it but do the aliens have to mine the substance???...something for the Elerium Creative Writing crew to think about...

mikker Posted June 22, 2003 Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 in the original, the elerium was stored in crystals. Now, those crystals could be growing in alien cliffs, so where the heck would such an elerium thinggy BE on a cliff???????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[[Micah]] Posted June 22, 2003 Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 The aliens could also be capable of artificially creating the element, in which case part of the process could involve an event in which the element appears as jordos rendered it. Who knows? Let the CTD go with it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatGold Posted June 22, 2003 Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 Geez Louis - Were working on it!! Gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breunor Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 You could use both images in the X-Net really. The crystal version could be used when you first discover it, and the atomic spike pic could be incorporated into the technologies that require elerium to work.

revenant4 Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 Damn...that's a good idea Breunor...that would make sense (in a science fiction sort of way ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j'ordos Posted June 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 If you guys really intend to use it I could tweak it some more, add some other material or whatnot, or I can post it here (in .max or .3ds) so anyone willing to play with it can do so. (that iridium sheen might look good, but I guess that's for alien alloys only ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_schwick Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 In Apoc they said it was mined, so I would go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Stone Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 Well, as Breunor suggested, the Elerium could have been modified into this new shape to effectively increase its surface area . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
