(WIP) HTL Alastor
on: September 27, 2009, 12:03:34 pm
Yesterday I started a WIP with the Alastor Sentry Gun, because I thought it would be easy to upgrade. Perhaps because the model is symmetrical or because the model looks very simple.

This is my first screenshot.


Only one part is upgraded. I will upgrade the turrets after the main hull.

You're thinking of "Admiral Petrarch of the VBB", this is "Admiral_Petrarch"

At least, I'm pretty sure they're different people.

What's the size of the actual gun turret? I'm just thinking... you might rip the turret from the Medusa and slap it on the Alastor. Quick 'n dirty but very effective.

The Alastor is a very weird design to begin with... Maybe you can come up with something interesting.

I could see some sort of cross-braces or other sort of supports working really well on the interior of the arms.  As it stands, the thing always looked like it was about ready to fold into itself. :p

Everything there could be done better, faster, easier, prettier, and more efficiently with normal maps.

Just FYI.

What are you doing with the inner bit? It would look better as a sphere of somesort.

NEW UPDATE:

Getting EVEN smoother. I need to refine some details before apply symmetry and UVW mapping.



TEXTURES:
At least, I made the shine map, and I need only to make the Normal map.
