I agree. What you have is awesome, yet at the same time too far from the thematic three dots we see on the lucifer, et al.

[Nighteyes]

I still only have ONE complaint, it's that the central triangle needs more glow. Just do that and I promise I will love you forever.

I agree, that red triangle beam canon is very iconic for the Cain...

[MatthTheGeek]

Open your eyes mate, the Cain's red triangle has never been its beam cannon, the underside turret is.

Yeah but it's still an iconic part of the design.

[ReeNoiP]

This may be a little late but, while it certainly looks amazing, I think it's a bit dark. The present Cain is light gray, while this one seems almost black. This could make it harder to spot them and determine their orientation when placed on a black background at a distance.

[Commander Zane]

It used to be the same way until the textures for the original Cain and Lilith were swapped.

Oh. Never mind then.

[Commander Zane]

But that's looking at the MediaVPs, on Retail they're both the same texture, I'm sure you know that though.

Actually According to , when FS1 was in development a Triangle of 3 red lights were going to be beam cannon placements (or at least beams for the lucifer and gunports for the others)

so likely it would have been
Cain/Lilith - 4 (1 Primary on the Nose, small ones on the arms)
Demon - 1 or 2 [that ive been able to spot] (Also on the nose)
Lucifer - 3 (2 Ship killers on the arms and the planetary bombarment beam on the nose)

Now obviously this got changed in development but...it would be interesting to see modelled...

But back on topic - I hope to play against this soon

Lucifer - 3 (2 Ship killers on the arms and the planetary bombarment beam on the nose)

Hmm...that probably explains the "three flux cannons" remark in the Lucifer's original FS1 tech entry.  Cool.

There's lots of inconsistencies in that cutscene. Wish I could find the Wiki page on them.

Anyway... where's the Cain? Is it done?

[Droid803]

There's no discrepancy regarding the side-mounted beam, nor with the number if you just take that the Lucifer has 2 forward, and one that holed the Legion (as canonically depicted)

Of course, it doesn't make much sense, but the Rakshasa has a similar setup, as does the Iceni.

[Woolie Wool]

How about the Manticore? How about the Medusa firing Banshees? The whole cutscene is riddled with inconsistencies.

[terran_emperor]

All True. The FS2 cutscenes all need to be taken with a grain of salt.

So citing the FS2 intro cutscene alone as evidence doesn't hold up

[c914]

Anyway... where's the Cain? Is it done?

I wish it were...

Still to do
- turrets
- debris (I hate to do them)
- lods (I hate to do them even more)

[Woolie Wool]

Couldn't the original Cain model be used for LODs?

[Dragon]

That's how it's done in a lot of mediavps models.

[ShadowGorrath]

That would look a bit weird, don't you think?
