New unit preview: Nebulan B Frigate

[tpasmall]

I just started work on the Nebulan B, here is a preview of the run animation. I couldnt decide on what to do for run, so i made it have its engines turn on, and leave ion trails behind them(those blue dots). Remeber, this is going to be a 'space' unit (in my mod sea is turned to space). So this unit will be on a fairly dark background. Please leave your opinion on how you think the preview looks.

Looks great! I can't wait to see how the other animations turn out. Keep up the good work.

Ok, 2 directions left to go with the run animation. Question though, what should i do for the default animation? I had 3 ideas. The first is to have small ships flying in and out of it. The second would be to have asteroids flying at it, and it shooting them out of space before they hit the ship. The third would just to have it sit there and do nothing (this one would be the easiest to do , also how many people sit and watch idle units????) Just wanted some input on what to do here.
Thanks

Well, having the ship do nothing would be easiest, and would probably be just fine. But, if you have the time and are willing to put in the effort, having small ships fly in and out of it would be really cool!

I will go for the small ship animation.

But then again, I always go for the more complicated one.

Here is the finished run animation Next im going to do the default (just going to make it sit there, im too lazy to do a big animation like ships flying in and out ) Then the death, i have a really cool idea for the death and i want to make it before i forget it

Ok here is the death animation. Didnt come out exactly as i wanted it to, but it still looks ok Now just to do the attack animation

 

[tpasmall]

Heh heh, forgot to attach it

 

[tpasmall]

Ok, im having a little trouble with the attack animation. Here is a preview so tell me what you think of it. This is the SW attack animation (im animating the turn sideways part in the .flc itself)

That battle animation is a great thing. I wholeheartedly support it and I give you mad props. How is the overall mod going?

 

[tpasmall]

Overall the mod is going quite well actually, though lately things have slowed down some because most of the easy stuff is out of the way
