What really bugs me is the connection of the turrets to the main body. I'd try to beef it up and make it look sensible there.

I haven't done the Belial yet, but it's on my todo list.

I don't know about this model. It's very odd. The sharp angles and the prisms don't look too great. It seems like it can't decide whether it's supposed to be mechanical or insectoid. The compromise is unpromising.

Umm, you have seen the original right?

Are you talking about the canons to the turrets? That kind of bugs me too but that is the way it is on the original and I'm not sure how much to deviate from that. The canons just seemed to be floating on top of the turret.

I'll rephrase what I've said. The original was unimpressive. Yours might look better if the prism arm things weren't prisms. Feels too low poly, and it doesn't fit with the new body.

In other words, it looks like you reimagined the middle turret section but then decided to do little to the arms. They don't seem to go together.

By itself, I'm not too fond of the new model, but I think if the textures are done right they have a potential to really sell it.

[BrotherBryon]

I can try beveling some edges but this thing is so small already I doubt it would be noticable any where else outside the tech room. Hence the reason I didn't throw polygons at it from the get go. You may notice that those arms are not just straight prisms. The parts of the arms that will be red glow are all recessed or cut away from the rest just like I've done in the all shivan models I've done to date.

[SypheDMar]

Ah, well. Fair enough. I was a bit worried that depending too much on texture would be a bad idea, but I wasn't thinking about how small it would it in-game.

Updated List.

• Azrael needs UVs and Textures THIS IS BEING WORKED ON
• Asmodeus with SAC 2 needs a new model
• Mephisto with SC5 needs a new model THIS IS BEING WORKED ON
• Shivan Comm Node needs a new model
• SSG Trident needs a new model THIS IS BEING WORKED ON
• SSG Belial needs a new model THIS IS BEING WORKED ON
• SSG Rahu THIS IS BEING WORKED ON
• SFr Dis and SAC 3.. Meshes aren't necessary, but they are a tiled mess and could use a proper texture.

[BrotherBryon]

Better?

...Good work. You did a good job to take the more mundane aspects of the original and make them worth a look.

Agreed.

[Mongoose]

I will ram those to death with pleasure.

[Hades]

oh mongoose you dirty boy you

yeah, i think that is a lot nicer honestly, gj

[Skarab]

I'd recognize that as Shivan without even knowing what the topic of this thread was.  Good job indeed.

[mjn.mixael]

Textured Trident. Belial tomorrow.



Woops, sorry, looks like I had FXAA off for these shots.

[mjn.mixael]

Double post for Belial.

[Rodo]

How's the Rahu coming? is it in an advanced state or just started?

[mjn.mixael]

Ask Axem.

[Ulala]

Those look great, the Belial especially looks much improved.

[Mongoose]

I like that big red "Shoot me!" bullseye on the Belail.
