Make it a droid odf or weight it 100% to bone_root and use the normal soldier anims; did that for my Manta Sub droid as well ;)

Looks cool mate! :D Catch you soon on xfire so we can update each other again :P

Well done :thumbs:

I guess I probably should've mentioned that it's a seeker droid :P

It'll be used to replace the recon droid, hopefully, once it's finished.

Just news here: I'm going to touch up a little on my Doomgiver-II and ARC Hammer ship models in XSI, and with that being said, work on some more miscellaneous types of Imperial and Republican Star Destroyer classes, probably including the Legacy-Class Star Destroyer. While I'm at it, I'll try and learn some better techniques into appropriately applying textures to my models.

That'd be awesome, I don't really like the current recon one. Well it suits the CIS but the other factions should have different ones :D

Anyway sweet model

Yeah and I desperately need help on my side making skillz, cause I want to finish my remake of the SW:CW Battle of Dantooine map.

As for trying to get my custom models out there and into the game, not going so well atm. Will have to go into further study. Hopefully with a bit more help, and a bit more niceness of some people, perhaps I can get more help with doing this stuff so that I can actually do things by myself for once without relying on tons of other people to help me get my models in-game... such as my assault cannon, which I promised would get done. Tried to get Taivyx to help, but apparently I have too many polys. :? But, oh well, as I said, I'm no professional... hell I'm not even an amateur at this. :lol:

Yes. I will definitely need it. Thanks!

As for modeling I forgot to start modeling again after I got out of school for the summer. Will have to try and do that before the day is up today.

He showed that one to me on MSN. Hadn't really told me what it was. I really don't know what type of ship it is. To me it looks like a cargo ship of some kind.

As for those YT series ships up above. Oh my frikken gosh, they look so awesome! YT-2000 is one of my favs. And so is the YT-2400. The YT-1210 looks new to me though.

Yeah, a cargo ship is a pretty good guess. Heck, I have no idea what it is, so it is pretty much up to you people to decide...
