I merged the feluciatrooper helmet into the ep3 skin, this is the UV:

There are some free spaces between the Uvs on the helmet, but i tried conecting all those UVs, but it gets too stretched.

That is one mighty fine looking helmet there, good work.

Here is the final pre-release video of the ATPT. Put an orange light into the world to accentuate the model. If you look at the shadow in the first part of the video you can see the front turret guns move.

Also is a jpg of the texture I created from scratch. While it is okay I think it shows I am more of a modeller than an artist. Thank goodness for ambient occlusion.

My heart stopped.

My ONLY complaint is I wish the walkers body shifted a little every step, like a gait of a bird, ie Chicken. :lol:

@DarthD.U.C.K. yes did do a normal map for it as well, little secret, used in one of the layers on the texture to add definition. Why do you ask, I ask :)

@ the body does shift, it can't shift the same as a bird because mechanically (and animation correction for the step, it is a long and sad story that I won't get into) it obviously doesn't have the same flexibility that an organic does. It is just the same as having the foot really hitting the ground hard, it may look great but if you can precisely control the step you wouldn't want to add the mechanical stress to your machine. Yes my engineering background is rearing it's ugly head again.
There is also the need to over exagerate in a video game to make things look better but I am pretty happy with the animation over all.
