Cool.

Still working on this, not quite happy with it yet. But the Wolfen are finally coming together. 697 triangles. The other weapon variants are at almost exactly the same place, tricount-wise.

That looks like you ripped it from quake.

Yeah, it does have that feel, doesn't it?

not your best work. I honestly thought the unit was a joke at first.

Well, it's an infantry model, so the polycount has to stay really low, and you don't really see them up close a lot, because they're not terribly large, although they're a lot bigger than people. Dunno, I'm not sure what I'd want to change that would radically improve it. Definitely one of those times when I have been grumpy about having to deal with our animation system, though, I'd have been able to put a lot more detail in at the same polycount if I could animate it with bones.

Head

The way the ears and head are it seems like a cow..

Wolfs have triangular ears that point up or back.



Generally thin muzzle...

my thought would be to have the ears pulled back'

here is 5 minutes in wings3d.

I agree, the ears might be a good change. Dunno about the muzzle, I'll try a couple of things.

dunno, just how I would do it. use the head if you want. I am getting ready for bed.

makes me think of the pig cops from duke 3d...

smooth normals perhaps?

I could make a convincing texture on that but I am tired.

Smoth's wolfe head looks much more elegant.

There, I think that fixes it fairly well.

Reminds me of empire earth 1 units.
Maybe it can be higher poly?how many will u have in an average battle?thousands?


Released in 2001...

TBH, it's not that useful to add more faces. They're only twice human height... in P.U.R.E., that isn't large. They're 2-footprint guys, Peewee-sized. If P.U.R.E. had a much more restricted distance of view, it might make more sense to add more polygons, but the normalmap will be enough, I think.
