Should be able to finish this up today, had a slight issue with making it rotate seamlessly from the center due to a miscalculation on the triple connector... I was like "WTF isn't it rotating seamlessly......." then i realized the connectors were 2 different lengths. A real "Duh" moment. Anyways, should finish this today. |

Don't make it rotate using an animating model. Make it in pieces and let me rotate it in code like I do with the Bulk Traders. It's so much more flexible and efficient. |

I saw your previous post, I was rotating it for testing purposes; making sure it would rotate smoothly when you go to do it in code. |

Alrighty then, finally finished up this model. Wasn't too sure what else I could do on the front or back that didn't look weird (i tried a few different things). So unless there are any issues with this model, this will be the final version. About 4200 polys at this point.  It's 2 parts, just the front sphere with that attachment piece, then the rest is all one object. I've centered the pivot point, but I think you have to do that in the xml anyways. It shares the same 1k texture, efficiency ftw. Front: http://db.tt/J2i5hlCI Back: http://db.tt/SCqCyov2 Texture: http://db.tt/SInwCO3H Attachment: massif3.jpg You could double the texture as a slight bump map if you wanted, maybe .1, and it would look pretty solid. Not sure how you guys manage environment maps either, but i'll make a glowmap for it once I can see it in-game. |

I added a "tail", but it looked really odd. |
