in NS Customization
<div class="IPBDescription">flatshaded</div> Well I think I finally finished the actual model part of the drone so I can show off this render. I've only got to skin the body and rig the skel and it'll be done. Maybe a day to skin and a day to rig. Possibly both in the same day if this goes smoothly

    awsome PKHG...

    your going to have people talking about proportion, about acuracy, and about animations...

    before all of them speak, just letting you know that since nobody can find a good consisetnt reference for you... you've got my full support that what you've got tehre is the right one... unless the female (sorry for the stereotype) run blizzard Entertainment speaks up... then i'll have your back twice as much...


    -explenation of stereotype-
    women change their minds alot...

    Ehhh the Zergling isnt even skinned yet, I'd say a finished model takes precedent but thats just me being selfish.

    Yes I think I would have to agree that it is too flat and wide, looks like a paper plane like bug.

    well i think it looks great, the flatness is how i imagined the drone's - in the starcraft world the perspective doesnt give you a good idea of what they look like, apart from being flat like that

    I think you should make the head slightly bigger, then start the rest! I think its got the perfect drone shape.

    Looks good! My only suggestions would be
    1) thicken the body a *little* bit, in both width and depth.

    2) In the interest of fitting into *NS*, perhaps make the wings a little narrower. It's a very wide target atm.

    What's the poly count (as compared to the gorge)? Can we see a shot of it next to a gorge?

    How about the bottom of this model? Since you wouldnt see too much of it during the game you could save some polies there, right?

    Still details like this "relief" - those rips that are standing out on the wings - does not have to be at the bottom... right? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    this is a little off topic but if u like strategy game, go ahead and play it, Starcraft is the best RTS of all time. No other RTS out there now is better than it, not even Warcraft 3

    im saying this not from a biased pointed of view, but it's a fact, considering the unit variety and difference, huge race difference, excellent unit counter and balance, awesome strategies and much more.

    im still playing this game from time to time instead of playing war3. heh

    i liked diablo2 and warcraft2 (3 isnt my thing really) but the screenshots i have seen of starcraft look very bad. i think if starcraft was 1st person id play it.

    I felt dirty for buying Warcraft III. It was such a letdown after seeing big marine battles with siege tank support. In WC3 it's just small armies.. *sob*

    I am thinking you are only saying that it "looks" bad because you are comparing it with other games in the graphics arena. I say this because you said "screenshots" so I am thinking you just looked at the screenshots and not really played it.

    Starcraft is old, so there are the 2D graphics , if you really look past the graphics you will realise the gameplay is what made Starcraft what it is , an excellent game.

    Graphics don't win the game every award , if the gameplay sucks it will go down (take Unreal II for example , great gfx , bad gameplay)

    I do think tho that Starcraft has good graphics even tho it is 2D. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Diablo (1) came out in 1996 (i'm 90% sure), StarCraft came out in 1998.

    Heh, remember when you start to **** off one of the heros these phrases come up?

    NO, this is not just "Warcraft in space"
    It's much much more complicated

    On the model: Looks great. Must've been hard working off of just the in-game sprite (unless you have some concepts which I haven't seen).
