High Poly Turret Factory

<div class="IPBDescription">#6</div> #6 of my high poly Marine building pack.

This one has been a long way in the making, what with my busy college schedule.
But i've ALWAYS taken time for fans of my work. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

It is STILL a WIP, but it's almost done. This time, i may increase the texture resolution for maximum detail and tweak the skin a bit, since i did a few changes the structures which the skin will not fit anymore. The sides are still the same, but the middle part of the TF was redone from scratch and the cylinder are now.. REALLY round.
I am still puzzled as to why some mod modelers do not use more sides for their model's cylinders. I use 12 sides minimum. Any less, and it doesn't look round enough.

Anyway, i felt that you guys deserved an update on my pack ao here are 2 WIP shots of the new TF model.

Current polycount doesn't mean anything since it has NOT been optimized yet, and some parts will be redone.

    Oh and before you ask me, the "pipe" that sticks out between the middle section and the right side "vent" is still there, but i left it out cuz i usually UVW map it BEFORE i actually shape it in a 90 degree angle. That way, UVW is a lot easier to do <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Looks great, and I think I'm missing a model from your pack.

    (Phasegate, Armory, Resource tower, Nozzle and what else? )

    I didn't officialy release them since i'm constantly making adjustments to them.
    No biggy about downloading them, i'm gonna make a big model pack soon enough.

    After i finish the TF:
    -Turret
    -Proto lab
    -CC
    -Maybe the IP, but i think it's fine as is.

    Awesome, been waiting for more of your hi-poly models. Looking forward to the TF.

    I'm using your sexy IP, The Thing. Panther's got his work cut out for him if he's going to get me to switch. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I made the first high poly ip, then thing stuck a cone ontop.

    Anyway, back to topic...
    very nice BP, it looks cool and smooth. Cant wait for the skin, and does it need animating?

    I already did 80% of the marine equipements,weapons and the marine into even higher poly versions for the Pre/Selection movie. When the movie is released, maybe they'll accept to release the models to the community ? Please remind us when it's release in case I forget or move to other things.

    I would recommand you keep doing yours. It's so much fun and rewarding working on 3d stuffs related to a game you love. Besides, yours have more chances of being in the game because mine are too high poly (lot of 3d details to make them more real).

    P.S. : I whish the SEARCH function in this forum would be fixed. I was trying to find back an old post I did showing my HMG and Ammo Armory I did for it.
