canonery

Never heard that word before. It's obvious what you mean, but it sounds like a cross between 'canary' and 'cannon'. Maybe that's what it should fire?

In the picture one of the guns has a leg in mid-air.

If you can't animate the legs you could allow the gun to rotate slightly at the 'waist' to give it a decent firing arc. Otherwise it'll never hit those LAATs. Speaking of LAATs, how did that 'V' go?

I've been comparing the model to the actual gun, and while it's already a very good rendition the legs are a bit too spindly on the model. They ought to be about twice to three times as thick. The front should be a little less high, the central 'box' could do with being less tall and the dorsal 'handle' could do with being longer and lower. The chair could do with a smaller back and a higher seat, so a battle droid can sit in it and not look like a Dracula impersonator. The eyes could do with work, and might look better if they were flattish domes rather than completely flat. Of all of these suggestions I think the most important is the height of the central 'box', because at the moment that alone makes it look like a birdbox.
Don't get me wrong though, it's a excellent model.

don't you think the canonery are a bit too big??

No it isn't. Look at the relative size of the battle droid.

i mean a bit to big for the mountain

On that I agree with you.

I think this will make a promising Geonosis map. Good luck! I want to know if there are alot of bubble turrets, because to be frank, I hate the bubble turrets (they make annoying sounds)

bubble turrets

That sounds gungan...

Yeah, that did sound Gungan. I'm under the impression he meant the LR1K sonic cannon.

As I said in a comment beneath the pics, I need to do some scaling.

What do you mean?

For your suggestions, I will definately will have to work on both models, so I will make sure to include the things you mentioned.

The 'V' shape of LAATs flying through the sky.

Yeah...

If you mean how I did it, I placed a few LAATs in the sky and animated them in ZE.

I still don't get how sonic can be seen as a green bubble. I'm not convinced that is sound being shot (at an incredibly slow speed too)

And another thing, will there be orbital strikes?

Back on topic: Maybe we could... I dunno... Let Spiderpig does what he want? It IS his map, and I'm kinda excited for this release, so if he wants to make the cannons larger than in the show, put lots of sonic turrets, and leave out orbital strikes (which quite honestly are rather buggy), it's up to him and it probably won't make the final release any worse.

Keep up the good work, Spidey, looking forward to the next update/release.

Nope, no orbital strikes in this map.

Thanks, it's always good to hear something like that.

What I meant is you said you were polishing it and I was wondering how it went.

Oh, sorry.
Pretty well, I have now one of them lowering it's altitude and rises it again just not to crash into the shield generator.
The pilot decided it's worth the risk just for some more burned down droids

No risk, no fun.

For now, behold:

Hidden/Spoiler:

Yep, need some rescaling to do, but meh...

Looking better than I thought.

WOW! That's some eye candy! It remembers the one I made out of Lego! awesome modeling, altought the eyes and legs could use a little bit more of work

*looks down barrel of cannon* I wonder what's in here.... hmm.....


But nice work, Spidey. Looking forward to playing it once it comes out.

nice! i see your making progress with modeling

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Actually I wanted to post an update of the shield generator with scaled turrets (nah, scaled and better placed generator), but unfortunately ZE decided to play dead after half an hour of mapping. >.<

Do i see a turret floating over the edge of the spire?

They look really good!

no, thats an optical illusion
