Spring RTS Engine

Let's not have a poll...

I like the shape of it from above, and curved shapes in general suit the style of arm that Saktoth and others have been talking about.
(High tech, light, curvy)
Although i would make the wings a bit flatter from looking at the side view.

I like it, but I don't think it fits in CA.

no1 thought spherebot would fit in with CA...

progress report just got bak from nite out and finished the metal layer



now to start the details and stuff the joy...

(again blue is the team color placeholder)

I did.

wait till its fully textured and stuff and ingame b4 passing judgement :]

I vote we do have a poll.

I'm being a hypocrite and vote against.

I was editing the picture that you made and came up with idea:

(Click for bigger picture)

Not an extremely large change, just moved the wings slightly but kept them the same shape.

It would solve all of the problems I had with the model shape at least.
Originally the model looked too front-heavy and unstable.
If you change the design to something more like this it looks like the wings are more a part of the design.

My eyes, no blue background in the future or I'll troll you... and please, direct links to the image, the main ImageShack site is slow as hell.

Sorry, I used to use ihostupost, but it isn't working so this is the first time I've used imageshack. Sorry about the background, should I repost it?

That reminds me of one of the supcom level 1 bombers. I can't remember which one though, possibly the cybran one, or maybe the aeon...

Probably Aeon, they had the sleek round look mostly. Although I can't really remember.

Yeah repost it with flat shaded faces and no full blue background, please.

This was going to be a remodel of the AK for the CA project, but I got a bit carried away. I think I overdid it.

Not that it doesn't look good but you are wasting so much UV space there by overlapping geometry. I would try to make the cockpit (eye?) a bit more visible from above, having it pop out a little so that this detail isn't lost.

It's a mass unit, it should probably prioritize polygons over textures.

it looks pretty heavy more like a thud/outlaw

pretty nice tho

It'll be about 600-700 as consistent geometry, it's more worth the UV space than a few additional polies IMO.

I agree.

Self-challenge: speed modelling/texturing, done under 4 hours.

162 polies
