Well, after over a year of part-time tinkering, I've finally finished my first unit. I've done some recolors and some shrinkings for LOTM, but this is my first from scratch. The model is low-polygon (I made it from scratch as well), but so is the cartoon it was based off of.

This is a unit for the Star Wars Mod, from the Clone Wars Mini-series. I have included two attacks, so it can be used as either a bomber or a fighter. I also included a civilopedia entry from www. starwars.com. The V-19 was the preferred starfighter of the Republic during the Clone Wars, until the arrival of the ARC-170 and V-Wing starfighters.

One word of caution: I had issues with the smoke during the death animation. It works, but is not perfect enough for my tastes. If any experienced unit-makers could give me any tips on how to work the smoke and explosion into the palette, I would be most obliged. :)

These previews came straight from OpenFX, so some of the colors are off.

A very spiffy little unit. Reminds me of the Wraith from Starcraft.

Please, stop spamming the forum. You shouldn't dig up old threads just to say stuff like this.

He is raising his post count, I got pissed off when he did the first 4 copy-paste spams, then I put him on my ignore list.
