Neither am i, which is why i chose it. Once it gets done, it should look a bit prettier while being blown up. :) (I paid special attention to the debris for a reason ;) )

They're sorta old pics - the shinemap isn't so glarey and it has glowmaps for the bridge and side lights now. It uses a single 2048x2048 res texture which can easily be halved for vast performance increases at the loss of quality.

I would have released it ages ago, but i'm waiting for the turrets from Raptor. He's apparently completed them, but since then has gone walkabout. :\ If he doesn't show up soon i think i'll just release with my own custom turrets....

Edit: ugh, the full pics resize the whole thread. :\ Hey Hunter? Would it be possible to allow specific posts to be wider than the rest? Or would that require a ton of work for little gain? If so, nm. :)

That's actually quite nice. The tines on the front still need something, but overall it's a good improvement.

IIRC, VA scrapped the lucifer and started fresh becasue of poly-screwups. but, i may recall wrong...

if it is screwey faces, i can (very) easily fix em, so you could send a .cob to me, i could prolly fix em. if youd let me look at it anyway, i would love to take a look at shivan uberizing :)

BTW, i was hoping for links...?

The lucifer is still on the menu, but it'll need a lot of geometry fiddling and improving in blender (like the triton) before being completely re-uved. :)
No idea when it will be done tho.

And Grim, the links were all on HLP. ;)
