Good solid Terran stuff. None of that Vasudan cooperation for us! *high fives Mikhael*

Man, that's rough. See CP, this is all your fault! [jk]

On the Herc 1: Damn. One of my favourite ships of all time...say, do you think you could model the Prometheus S and stick it on some of the gunpoints? Model it off the tech anims from FS2...

Absolutely top work man, can't wait for the Medusa.

oh damn, I didn't show you the weapon models did I? I've got some high poly weapon models for tech room animations around here somewhere. I'll make sure you get to see them.

The problem with putting Prom-S's on the gunpoints is that you'd never see them. I always got the feeling (based on the tech anims) that the weapons are very much internalised, with only the muzzles sticking out (when there's a muzzle to stick out)

Updated the mesh again. If you look, you can see that I've bulked up the front end of the pods a bit. I've used red for those bits, instead of the proper darker grey,  fore easier visibility whilst modelling.

Also updated the cel shaded wallpaper pic. The red and grey scheme works well with the cel shader on.

wow...herc looks cool...

Instead of making a fs2 movie, we should make an fs2 cartoon!

Oh, ****, no.

Not unless dark_4ce is the director.

If dark_4ce directs, he gets Cel Shaded Hercs! This I command!

That sounds more realistic, actually... I got caught up in the gunpoints because the Prom/S looks so darn cool.

Oh, btw, the cel-shading looks pretty cool...

I need to learn how the Unreal cel-shader works. KMN does some impressive work with it.

But damnit, Steak, you've got me wanting to mount the .50 cal gatlings or the Penetrator weapon models I did for the 158th on the Herc now... Maybe I'll take some time and stick some new weapons on the front...
