I really like that you say you redesigned it and not that you "made it better" or "improved it"

[@A.please_insert_witty_text.M]

Oh yeah, that is really nice. A lot of people say the game looks bad although the graphics are an intentional stylistic choice (not that you can't personally dislike it, of course). You can see the same style in almost all his earlier games.

[@The_Vent_Goblin]

Firstly, I'd like to say to anyone struggling with 3D design: You don't have to be an engineer, you just have to make sure the thing LOOKS like it could move properly, because that's what breaks most designs. Iron Man's suit is super unrealistic, but it LOOKS like it could work. Secondly, the little flame on the end of the flamethrower is what ignites the liquid being 'thrown'. It passes through the flame and becomes the actual flaming projectile.

[@trumediamix1]

Funnily enough, the rockets don't kill you on a direct hit, either! You only get one-shot by them if you're too close to their impact AoE! I currently presume this wasn't entirely intentional, as I can't imagine how a shockwave and thermal burns are inherently more harmful than shrapnel and casings (in the context of rockets, ofc.)

[@ItsTheSpecialistLIVE]

idea, it turns the rockets around to use them ad a flame thrower, afterwards it could propel the left over shell more like a grenade

That thing with the holes around the flamethrower is called a Heat Shield. The heat shield protects your hands from getting burned when you touch the barrel of a gun or exaust pipe.

[@Year_of_the_Dell]

And generally helps disperse heat...supposedly

[@callsignapollo_]

​@Year_of_the_Dell i think you're thinking of a heat *sink* I've never personally heard anyone say that heat shields help dissipste heat other than by the nature of having holes in them to allow some of the passive air cooling the barrel would already do

[@slipoma]

@@callsignapollo_ because of the holes it has a higher surface volume so heat would leave it faster . not really enough to be that important but it does

[@Blahblahblaafmn]

The heat shield is actually for the gun itself, not your hands. No matter what if you touch a barrel after rapidly firing, you're gonna get burned. The idea is to disperse the heat so that the barrel doesn't just melt during sustained fire (you can look up videos of people demonstrating how easily and quickly a barrel can melt on a fully automatic rifle).

[@puf_yippee]

fun fact: the spotlight lore wise actually has an important use. in the time when old birds were being manufactured, they were used to fight off coil heads in war. coil heads are prone to malfunction under bright lights and loud sound, this is why old birds have spotlights and speakers. edit/update: i didnt expect this video to blow up after this comment and i especially didnt expect this to become the most popular comment. please stop arguing in the comments, i like @Willified's opinion on the matter. they basically state that this comment is just a theory but becuase its a theory doesn't mean its factually incorrect. anyways v60 is a pretty cool update isn't it?? i really like what they did with coils.

[@naked_molerats_are_awesome]

I'm terrified of coil-heads if they needed this thing to have a way to prevent it from reaching it. I feel it implys a coil-head can do something to them

[@jonathantreleven1823]

It is also resistant and scans for radiation because coilheads passively emit it. This is why pulling the giant battery in the facility automatically activates the bots, the battery is radioactive, and the bots thought a coilhead was nearby.

[@ron133.]

coilhead war sounds funny asf

[@Dr_Doctor_Lee]

eyeless dog remodel = a lot of certain "awakenings" in people seeing it

[@dafunk4431]

i believe that we have seen the sound warfare the old bird uses. The baby crying is so loud only instilling overwhelming fear as a giant robot stomps along the ground.

[@JoltedAlive]

Fear based warfare is such a fun thing to play with in fiction, see how hard you can drive the idea, how intense and gut wrenching it can truly get. Characters watch in abject horror as an overdriven loudspeaker blares the incomprehensible screams of the tortured and dying, shaking in the corner of a dim room only illuminated by flashing red emergency lights before the sound suddenly cuts. An acidic, slavic voice whispers from the speaker... "we... have come... for you..."

[@BLS31]

2:10 The worst part about that "sound cannon" is that it doesn't play some loud fog horn or an air raid siren. The damn thing blares out the sound of screaming, crying children as it chases you. I think I read it somewhere that it was to induce disorieontation and panic into targets; something it does in spades.

[@trumediamix1]

1:28 "It's called a walking tank despite not having any way to get into said tank." To be fair, that's because Old Birds are _metacontextual_ "tanks" - like how we equate people like Blitzcrank, Pudge, and Reinhardt (all of these three being CHONKY lads in our favorite games that can take "yes" amounts of damage) and are also individuals who walk on their own two legs. We're not saying they're tanks with legs - we're basically making a metaphor for how absurdly durable and dangerous they are. After all, you don't want to piss off a tank when you're in its range.

[@Kian00]

I liked the detail of your skeleton being the diamond shaped ones used in rigging when you got flamed rather than actual bones lol

[@foncess]

i love that the original old birds don't have fuel sources tbh. makes it super believable that they'd still be active after so many years of just sitting there

[@ellisc9170]

...??? Your character animation is just STUNNING... I'm blown away by how cohesive the whole video is... and how charming your persona's body language and expressions are!!! Incredible execution! A diamond in the rough!!!

[@xann2681]

13:25 this is true even on gameplay, since their grabbing hitbox is so small that they almost always miss their grab animations, you kinda have to throw yourself at it lore-wise i guess it wasnt really used for combat and rather for other utilities

[@dartyious3842]

wasnt really used for combat? did you read the bestiary

[@demonfusiongamer7995]

about the chest-mounted speakers, I believe their purpose is to play the sounds of crying children to lure people (or coilheads?) to them, as you can sometimes hear them making crying noises in-game

[@omegadragons321]

psychological warfare

[@0hpossum]

27:37 yes! In their bestiary there’s a line (might have been in the paragraph that was removed during the public beta, I forget) that describes them as being created in such a way as to obfuscate their place of origin. They’re described as the “walking ransom note” which I just love.

[@mariaelenafusceneco]

I loved your videos, the animations, the visual elements, everything is super entertaining, and I ended up learning quite a lot about 3D modelling, some specific terms and overall, a lot (even though I'm terrible at this)! Didn't even notice they were 30 min long :o (I'm not really a big fan of Lethal Company but I'm just amazed by the skill and effort going into these videos!). Keep it up e.e

[@nuc2726]

this video is 10000x times more helpful than *any* 3D modeling tutorial I have ever seen. You're only showing us your redesign of an existing model, but it was so informative that I learned so much more as a novice than I ever could following a dedicated tutorial. Dedicated tutorials tell me *how* to do certain things... but not *why* I need to do certain things. You explain everything without dumbing it down to describe the most fundamental stuff, and you still go into detail in every spot that it was needed, and I actually got to see how a model is made from mesh to rigging. Perhaps I couldn't do what you did from this video, but I have a good general idea on how to do it and can go for more precise tutorials for places I get confused at.

[@yellowscarf8812]

0:49 that “skeleton” was actually funny for me great vid

Hey Bini, Solid video and a great watch as usual! Although, it seems the video for whatever reason doesn’t show up in the subscription feed and basically goes unnoticed unless it’s randomly recommended on the homepage or if people check your channel. Hope that KZbin fixes this, as it sucks to see with how solid quality this video is, it absolutely deserves that at the very least.

[@jyeell]

it's actually happening for a lot of youtubers these past 2 days, I think there's a problem going on at KZbin rn

I have to say, this Lethal Company redesign is my absolute favorite to date so far! I'm a big fan of robots/mech designs and you really did a great job at enhancing how the Old Bird looks, especially with all the details you added to make them seem a bit more practical. Now for suggestions on to what you should remodel next, I think it'd be interesting on how you'd tackle the Thumper; given how they look and move in-game, I'd like to see the spin that you'd add onto them (especially with the multiple jaws they have on their head). Also I think it would be funny if you'd do a remodel video on April Fools that would just be on the Hygrodere/Bees.
