i know that he sayed that, bit i think the reason he did was that he thought mswf used some technique in blender to smooth edges, which he didnt

the alternative to what mswf did is disconnecting edges or marking them hard in XSI

@mswf:see? i always typed it right :P

Anyway as I mentioned there are many ways to do many things, and without seeing a wireframe it is hard to tell how the polies are being smoothed especially on the top of the helmet.
Perhaps we should have a tips and tricks topic but for now we should get this one back on topic.

argh! this would have chocked my pc to death within second!

it looks just great
in case "contructive criticism" is not unneeded here: the bright light in 0:04 is a bit too intense for my taste, imao reducing the intensity would make it feel more elegant, but thats the last nitpicking-resort :P

I love the emblem, I just wish it was at a low enough polygon count to use in SWBF

Unlucky.... correction, if it is what i think, and it is unlucky, it must be the IG-86 that got it´s arm cut by Anakin in Downfall of a Droid.

@Mav: Pandemic made the texture yes.

@AgentSmith: Spot on!

@Lephenix: I remember u said in ur post *Yes I believe it is IG-88* before an edit right? so yeah, it is also an IG droid, but more specific

@Labj: Hehe, I admire people who think thoroughly thru things like this, sadly though, it is not an IG-86 model

Cookie for Agent and Lephenix! (Mav and Labj can have a nibble)

Anyway, sry I don't want to bother with a full body wireframe, since most of the model is Pandemic, but the wireframe of the hand as u can see:
