This panoramic scene features a new weapon for my Hi-N Light Equipment Type: it's basically a revised edition of the Hyper Mega Launcher that does not link to the robot's arm but is kept over a shoulder like a tradizional bazooka. It of course have some active stability systems or it would break the robot into pieces :D

The idea of a desert camo applied to a giant robot has always looked quite funny to me, but I decided to have a try at it nontheless. The results are really interesting in my opinion. All the camo is procedural, obtained in Lightwave by means of fractal noise and dent textures. The gas effects from the gun and boosters and sand effects around feet were created in post-production using Photoshop.
