Mikhael's high-poly Mjolnir
The HT&L Friendly version, as seen here...

And textured:










Mik, what do you think?


Well. I'm exhausted. Goodnight.

Galemp, I think you and Styxx need to talk. He has done something slightly different with the outer grinder that I like a lot, but you've got some stuff on your outer grinder I like too (the hazard stripes on the cross bars and the like).

The inner grinder and the beam core need some work though.  Particularly, the two secondary launchers have completely disappeared, as has the maintenance hatch access. Also the blue tips on the inner grinder's focus arms and the nails of the outer grinder doesn't look quite right.

Maybe the three of us should sit down and discuss this. :D

Great work! :)

one last post before bed... keep telling yourself that...

Well, since I haven't seen Styxx's I can't really comment on it. But I actually didn't refer to the original high-poly Mjolnir while I was doing this, since I couldn't find it. I knew about the launchers, but there didn't seem to be enough surface area on the front where they were supposed to be; with the bevels, the front wasn't any different from the sides or the back.

Okay, now I won't bother tring to texture my model (built for the old limits, with three scondary missile turrets)

Good stuff:yes:, but the core section is very dark, hard to make out any detail.

Yeah, one of the things I did was remove all recessed details from the model. So the front of the launchers should have recessed bits with launch tubes inside. We can get that sorted later.

Styxx, could you post your version of the outer grinder in this thread?

Not bad for a slap up. :D


Anyway, here's some pics of the high poly Mk2. Sorry about the colors. They're mainly to show the details, sorta. :D

On the front end of the beam core, you can see, among other things, the recessed secondary launchers. They're a bit big, so maybe they should be multiple smaller launch tubes, in a staggered grid array. You can also see the starboard maintenance hatch, which allows access into the generation chamber behind the lens.

On the aft end of the RBC, there are ten 'figure-8' rectangles: five on the core, and five spread across the back end of each of the fingers of the outer grinder. These are thrusters. The ones on the core are for large scale FOV changes for the entire RBC, whilst the ones on the backs of the outer grinder fingers are for actual propulsion. You can also see the after dock point in the center of the beam core's "pommel".

In the close up shot, you get a much better view of the thrusters, and you can see that most of the back side of each of the outer grinder's fingers are taken up by thermo-dump panels.

I do hope all this helps. I swear, one of these days I have to put together a blueprint sort of render/spec sheet thing for this model. :D

If the other model is textured I say we should use both.

Who said the Mjolnir had only one version?

Excelent work, both of them.
