ROBOTECH MODELS FOR WARCRAFT III
==================================
-------- GARFISH --------
==================================
>> by Jacopo Martinis <<


______
Story:

A light cruiser based on the animated series "Robotech" (originally "Macross" in Japan).


________
Details:

Standard light starship of the later Expeditionary Force, the Garfish qualifies as a cruiser by dint of its heavy beam cannon armament.
Internally, the Garfish class has a large general purpose hold in the central part of the ship. This hold allows the cruisers to be used as long endurance cruisers through storage of additional stores, but also as a high speed transport or even as an infantry assault craft by using the hold for general cargo or troops.
Externally, the most obvious features are the large underslung beam cannon turret, even if the cruiser lacks a close-in defensive armament and this took a heavy toll on the class during the attack waves against the Robotech Masters and the Invid.

You are free to use (and modify) this model as long as you give credit where/when is needed.
This means also that it may be very kind of you to allow other people to have access to the model's files, so -please- spend a few seconds thinking about the so-called "Map Protection"... Thanks!!

The file size is huge; it would be worth it take a texture hit and go for more in-game textures. I also see problems in the attachment points.

I like how you chose to do the attack animation, but it doesn't exactly leave room for customizing the projectile (and besides that, the beam doesn't really shoot at its target). If you removed the blue beam that shoots out and released it as a separate model (a projectile), the model's quality will be improved.

Great model otherwise, and one of the best Space Ship models around: 8.75/10
