New Model - Blaster Master Tank (3/19/06)

UPDATED: 3/20/06 - I updated the model to be brighter in-game. Playing around with it, I thought it seemed way too dark compared to the other units.

This is my first unit model for Civ4, the hero's tank from the NES game Blaster Master. Here's a link to info about the game, if you've never heard of it: http://bmunderground.chaosr.com/01_games_bm01.html

The tank is named S.O.P.H.I.A. the 3rd in the game's instruction manual, but don't ask me what it stands for. I just like the way the tank looks, and wanted it in my game.

The model has a polygon count of 1242.

i like it and am downloading it.

hmm let me think what other cool retro game stuff there is...

it looks like the speeder unit for Alpha Centauri . Now if anyone is making a mod for it...

Looks great Dual

Beautiful Dual.

The AC guys at Apolyton should take a look at it.

Loved that game . Animations working fine? Can the unit jump over mountains?

Now that's a nice one!

Thanks for the compliments everyone.

Not yet. That would look cool though, wouldn't it? Maybe have the unit jump everytime you press the "B" key.

I just updated the model by making the materials I used brighter. I just noticed a while ago that the unit seemed way too dark in the game.

Now you should be able to see the detail a bit better.
