Star Wars Model - TIE Interceptor (3/27/06)

UPDATED (4/19/06):

Added team colors to the unit, by adding a FX.nif file.


UPDATED (4/06/06):

I've improved the wings on the Interceptor, added better ion engines, added more textures, and attached more animations to the unit. The polygon count is now 1156.

I used the origional Jet Fighter's animations, so that is what you should point to in the <KFM> tag in the XML file.


OLD POST: Here's the TIE Interceptor now, modified from the TIE Fighter I posted earlier today. I just stuck new wings on the Fighter's cockpit. The Interceptor's wings are a lot more complex, so the polygon count is higher at 1220.

The TIE Interceptor is a greatly improved fighter craft over the TIE/LN. It's faster, has improved visibility for the pilot, and has greater firepower from the wing-mounted blasters.

UPDATED PICS:


I have a couple other units I want to make first, but I'm going to make a few more TIE variations soon. I'm planning on doing the TIE Avenger, TIE Defender, and probably the TIE Bomber too.

Nice model!
Civ 4 creation is getting better each day

Good day for Star Wars! Nice work!

Yeah, I'll probably do some rebel fighters in the near future. When I get around to it, the X-Wing would be first on the list. I just want to do the Imperial ships first, because I like them more.

Hm the avenger is the advanced. Sorry .

Heh, yeah I used the Avenger name so not to confuse people about which TIE Advanced I was going to make. As I don't have any intention of making Vader's TIE Advanced x 1 at the moment. I'm going to make the production model that they nicknamed Avenger.

hello
i used it with a jet fighter skin like usually, used it as a gunship but stays on the ground, doesn't fly

The model is not really meant to be used as a ground unit like the gunship. I made it to be used as an aircraft, like the Jet Fighter or Bomber.

the model should still function as a gunship (or other land unit), it just won't be very high off the ground as you noticed.

hello
ok thanks for the answer

Unit is updated, see first post for details and download.

It does look better.

Updated the unit to have team colors. See the first post.
