Little offtopic: I made a sick weapon system for him.. He has this wooden stick, and can only walk, unless he uses Force Valor, which makes him activate his lightsaber, and perform the most deathly and damaging lightsaber moves ever (well, some are asset's) for an amount of time.. When his stamina is empty he needs to recharge ^^
By far one of your best models Manderek! :) Might I suggest fixing the crosseyes though? ;)

I find that rather offensive concerning all my other models, especially those from scratch :P This took me 10 min max, with.. i think, another 10 min of animating/enveloping. :|

Thanks, but it wasn't that complicated.. The next model was way more complicated.. I always say: start with something small.. Well, the first version you'll see is so sucky i call it small. The second was made out of that, and I'm fine with it, calling it the final version. Anyhow, walker-time again, here's a Blurrg (More info

Nah, that's just not worth it.. I only use it for 1 map. I might do so for the AT-OT later.. But for now this Blurrg animal uses the tauntaun skel :)

Edit: He's completely working ingame! Recording vid now! :)

That blurg thing looks kinda goofy, the arms just go inside of the torso, even for a fantasy character its pretty anatomically incorrect, it has no shoulders.

EDIT: Figured since I was working on one of these since I havn't seen one, far from done though but maybe I'll muster up the will to start working on it some more...

Yeah I havn't modeled the feet yet, I just duplicated the 1 leg I had mostly modeled so it would look better to show.

Yours is way more detailed though, i was too lazy to improve the model. Good job mini ;)

Rep, Emp, thanks. :) And i know he has no shoulders, I could make them, but don't see the big problem since the arms are hardly noticable, and this model had a really low priority to me atm

Redid that Death Star-ish turret today, the old one was a bit too detailed. The textures are about 80 % done or so? :music:

The turret looks good, I'd probably just use a 6 sided cylinder for the barrels though, it wouldn't be noticed in game.

Hey, I sorta agree, but still I kinda felt that I could "waste" some extra polygons. Besides, it doesn't matter awefully much since the model itself is pretty basic. :wink:
