ShadePyre

[Thrikodius]

I have started out a lill bit on ShadePyre himself. I can tell already that he is going to be verry high poly. The good side is that I compensate by using only in-game textures (appart from the fire texture that is used by his weapons aswell).
For example:

Only this piece of mesh contains 288 faces but then this will probably be the most detailed part after the face.

While I'm working on him (it will be a bit slow untill the current model contest is over) I would like some more tips on his weapons. Right now I have the Blade and Axe of ShadePyre.

Well, We can't afford to use a custom model for the boss in the map, as that would make us break the 4mb limit for sure.

Actually no. I just found away to make the polycount and filesize pretty low. I'll keep it as low as possible and we'll look at the results after that. I have decided to make a custom texture since it can lower the filesize significantly. Hopefull I'll be able to make it 128x128 and not loose too much detail.
