Never has an itteration of Godzilla been more over powered in his own movie then in the movie Godzilla: Final Wars. Single handedly defeating NINE
other powerfull monsters masterfully slaming eatch of them into mountains, buildings, the ground, eachother, powerlines or simpley his fists.
What is Final Wars Godzilla?
Final wars Godzilla as the name says is the Godzilla from the movie Godzilla: Final Wars. This movie was originally going to be the last Godzilla movie ever made and started development in 2003. The movie would need the suit actor to be able to pull of some wild moves. This was going to be the last Godzilla movie ever afterall and they wanted Godzilla to pull off some crazy moves. The first suit they wanted to use for the film was the suit from the previous movie GMK. But Godbless they never ended up using the suit, that was beceause it wasnt "mobile enough", and just pretty darn ugly in my opinion. And so they went back to the drawing board taking insperation from the Heisei & showa era + Millennium Godzilla to come up with a more mean slender looking and more mobile design for the suit and voila here is Final Wars in al its glory.

How did I make final wars in simpleplanes?
First you need blue prints, so here are the ones that I used.
These screenshots and blueprints are for the making of his head.
And these are For making his body.
The making of Godzilla
Building the head.
The head is the most important part of a creature build. If you make the head all wrong you can ruin the entire build so the most time I spend working on Godzilla was on the head. I spend about a month in total on the head.
Building the Body.
Unlike last time I really took the time to leave almost no empty space on Godzillas skin carefully placing eatch muscle and tendon. Also keeping in acount that he needed to move without beginning to look deformed or ugly.
I am not shure how long it took to build it because it was less making everything in one go and more slowly adding stuff overtime utill it looked good enough. If I would gues it took abou three weeks.
Building the Dorsal plates.
Building the dorsal plates is also verry important for a monster build replica. Good dorsal plates can make any Godzilla look totally awsome. The dorsal plates took about a week.
Coding his moves and default animation.
Coding took a couple of months and was the most painfully boring process in the world. Near the end of the coding road the funky trees coding screen even began to flicker and it was almost inposible to work on any of the lines of code anymore. But I managed to pull trough and finish the build.
Here is V1 of finalwars head
Here is the final version of his head.

And here is the current final version
Here is a screenshot of the process of making the dorsal plates.

Wierd bugs, jankyness and more in Godzillas development.
When you make something in simpleplanes you can expect a faire share of bugs that will get in your way. Most of these bugs where the couse of human error, my human error to be more exact. And some of these are because of the game wanting to srew me over so lets take a gander shall we?
I made Godzilla to heavy.
I coded the legs all wrong
NOTE
If you see this when loading into the game restart immediately!
This is a bug which i cant do anything about. It has something to do with how the game generates the cockpit.
