A blast from the Descent 1 era....

Ok, I'm willing to bet that some of you have played Engages version of the first Descent game (called Descent Online). Remember the Tigg? Well, a while back I took the liberty of modelling it. It didn't look all that great, but all I had modelling experience with at the time was spheres. Needless to say that not only was the polygon count un-necessarily high, but it didn't look all that great either. So, for the past couple of days, I've been re-vamping the model. I redid the main body, fixed some silly errors, and made the sucker look much better all-around...but I'll let you be the judge of that. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

  • Well, there are a few things I really do like: texture is reasonable, at worst
    extra little doo-dads are good
    love the missiles
    Engine section is great, form what I can see of it

    Both for accuracuy to the material, and for general good looks, here are a few suggestions for what I think is overall a disgusting looking model which may have some potential to look good.
    Extend the nose a bit
    add a little dirt (or a lot, if you want)
    reinstate the old cockpit design to some extent. make it slightly higher and less round with a few of those supporting beams.
    add a little bit of color
    make the guns very slightly thinner, have them taper at the front (not necesarily a lot), and really just generally play around with the front. They don't look...menacing enough. I don't know. Something about them makes them look more like clubs than energy weapons.
