Nice their almost completed! I like the shape of it, awesome fighter.

 

[Misha]

i don't remember this guy where in which movie/cartoon did it appear?

 

[Fingolfin]

They are seen at the start of episode III, during the battle of Curouscant! They chase the squadron of ARC-170:s escorting Anakin and Obi-Wan. Here is a screen from the movie:

You've got quite a fleet there! Great work, keep it up!

 

[StoPCampinGn00b]

Ah yes, my favorite star fighter from star wars battlefront 2. Those purple-blue lines as missiles... oh the nostalgia!

 

[SNIper of DARKness]

Very good... Well done.

 

[Kenathorn]

Incredible ship! Great texture, awesome animations and nice work with particles and ribbons! That's truly 5/5!

God, I loved that game. Although, I preffered to just go inside their base and kill it from the inside. [rainbow]MUAHAHA[/rainbow]

You and me both! The ability to board ships was about 50% of why battlefront was an awesome game.

Looks very neat, I really like the overall look and feel of the star wars themed models you're making.
Got a question, are you planning on adding a vulture to the mix and if so, will it have a ground/assault walker mode?

 

[Fingolfin]

Well, since Olofmoleman already did a vulture, it is not really prioritized. I was considering it though, just to get one that fits together with the other models. Right now, i am working on my AT-AP which only has animation left, expect it to be uploaded within 48 hours!

EDIT: Screenshots!!!

God, that looks absolutely amazing!

 

[Times]

Oh god that AT-AP looks really good!
Can't wait to see the anims.
As for this thread's model, looks really nice!
A star wars map with all these models would do justice with them.
5/5

perhaps you should do a vulture, as olofmoleman's is brown and does not match your other CSI's units color scheme and animation style, you could even just make a re-skin of it for that.

this little guys really cute. I think hes adorable. I see little to no problems with it. 9/10

things I like:

I like the blaster flares you added, they look exactly like the ones I put on ur HMP, I find that hilarious -- I did those pretty ghetto too. minimage made his aerial drone's flares much nicer then mine. I noticed you animated each flares bone, that tiny addition actually impressed me a lot, I never imagined moving the bones forwards/back wards to achieve that growing shrinking look, usually I just lazily use the size function. very neat.

I like the walks, especially walk - 2, I thought that barrel roll was very well made. walk 3 is over shadowed by 2s awesomeness

and lastly, spell throw. holy god dam hell that looks crazy.

Things I personally would work on:

death seems simple enough, though some parts of it flying off might be nice. Im reminded of my work on my.... animated cattail... D I think? the bone white dead one.

during death I animated 8 ''pieces'' which had 2 bones, one bone spun the piece very fast, the other bone moved the piece away from the plant rapidly.
similarly, you could have parts of the body spinning flying away from the tri fighter like shrapnel for a more cinematic ''death'' rather then just nose diving into space and suddenly vanishing after an admittedly very sexy explosion. but thats just me being anal.

look forward to seeing some buzz droids (a challenge! muwhahahaha OBJECTIVE 1: BUZZDROID MUST HAVE ALTERNATES! OF FLYING AND WALKING ON THE GROUND!!! AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAA)

 

[Fingolfin]

It makes he happy to get such a praising review from someone as perfectionistic as you. And yes, ofcourse i will make a buzz droid! It will likely be a simple one with a 128x128 texture, which you could use for something like a locust swarm spell (though admittedly, i've always hated that spell). I don't think it would ever be scaled large enough to warrant for any greater amount of detail. Right now, my modeling list looks something like this:

1. Republic LAAT (mesh almost completed)
2. Some republic and CIS structures of my own design
3. Consular-class cruiser (mesh completed)
4. AT-TE

Since the buzz droid is such a simple model, it could be squeezed in at any point, but i think structures are the most emergent, since there is a serious lack of good sci-fi structures on the hive, especially after Mr. Bob left.

 

[kellym0]

or, if you were real lazy, you could imitate the forces of corruption and make buzz droids particles, in that game buzz droids merely spun around because they were not models. just particles. still, a buzz droid model would be cool.

 

[jure25]

Very useful.

 

[darwin]

You flatter me! This one looks awesome as well. I love the animations.

 

[BrothForMyPeople]

Looks like Starcraft's 2 Oracle.
