Just cooked this up out of ISD-fatigue.  2 days modeling, 4k triangles:

Mmm, deathtrap :yes: (That's what a TIE is to the pilot, so that means I think you got it just right ;))

That's the best looking TIE I've ever seen. The level of detail is incredible, and certainly warrants the use of 4k triangles. It's so sexy that I wouldn't mind flying it. Keep it up! I'm getting exited for this mod. 

You'll be in the mood to start ISD-ing soon enough. Big, uncompleted models ALWAYS call back to you.

Now go make the Interceptor. Shouldn't be too much work, considering the "wings" probably don't take too long to churn out anyway.  :D

TIE/ln Fighters have 2 lasers mounted just below the cockpit, and TIE Interceptors have quad lasers on the wingtips.  At least in the older games.

I believe one of my coursemates has a model of one of the TIEs done in Maya. I'll ask for a couple of screenies for it if you wants.

Wow.  I knew you'd be good at texturing, but wow.  This is the first thing I've seen you texture so far.  Now I can't wait even more to see that finished ISD.

Can we get a high res up close render of that thing?  I wanna see some detail :)  Maybe like 1024 or something.

When I'm finished the texture I'll get some higher res renders, but not until then.

The first thing is wrong. Those ARE NOT solar panels. They are radiation panels to absorb radiation from the Ion Engine(s)

I don't know what your source is, but it sounds like you agree with the SWTC, except I believe they're radiator panels to emit radiation.  And if you're arguing with that ortho shot from the EGVV, yeah we know, there's lots of bad information in those books, mostly regurgitated from the WEG material.  We mainly just use it for the blueprints themselves if they're good enough.

Really? I heard from somewhere (I can't remember) that they are indeed solar panels.

They're radiation panels from what I heard, but apparently I'm wrong. The main site actually states they're solar panels.

Whatever.
