The projectile could probably have 1/3 the polys and still look fine.

perhaps, you're right... how could i do that? use 8 sided cylinders instead of 16?

yeah 8 or 9 would be plenty.

The cylinder is hexagonal.

No more than ~50-60.

If we are really serious about removing copywritten content, I think we should start calling them what they really are: the Limb and the Center.

Naah, call them the Human Rights Movement and the Machine Overlords or something.

Reworked the Thud remake and right one should reflect the Hammer. Both ~700 tris. Yes the Thud is not supposed to rotate the gun but the gun looks a bit stronger however... :P

...and an older, possible, slightly broken walk animation I forgot about.

Yeah add some stuff in between the cockpit and where the gun turret starts on the thud. I wonder how the hammer would look if you turned the guns upside down kinda, so it looks a bit more like the real hammer.

Looks stupid, that's what I had before. I quite like the grenade launchers.

Forget about the Thud remake, doesn't really fit. The model is complete as it is, don't think it needs any more parts. It's turretless so it needs to turn to the target. I like it the way it is, just doesn't fit.

What's with all those unnecessary edges?

Are you sure this is a radar tower and not a huge flower? :P

lol, you're right ^^ ... both

i am still experimenting, targeted modeling will later...

BTW: 354 tris for such a building isnt much, is it?

It's a reasonable budget (hell, you could probably go up to 2000 considering the computers of today) but your model doesn't make good use of these polygons and would warrant maybe 150.
