by the way, you may notice his arms are back a little far and you can
see the cavity they are supposed to fill.  that was an accident i have
already fixed.  oops, i'm embarrassed :-\

Great modelling work, textures seem quite perfect to me (even though i do not
know the original that good...)

The first picture really needs some things to reflect, in this one you can see
the checkered floor that creates some ugly reflections.  

I expect to see a first animation soon :-)

  Modeling and textures look very, very good, Ryan. Your X-Wing and R2
are the best I've ever seen!

It might just be this picture, but I think the little blue CRTs and the
red dot should be a bit more luminous.

Very, very nice.

Yow!  That's blinkin' triffic'.  Do any of the hatches open up?  I'm sure a
hologram could be projected using media...  The lighting hints at the
possibilities of a Cloud City scene... [snip!]

Did you use an image map for the 'marking' boxes on his torso?

Is he all CSG?

How did you do the cables on his feet?

I'll shut up now.

Well done, Ryan!

it's modelled in moray.  of course that means he's all csg.  the head is
mostly an image map, that was made using a huge layered texture (over
1000 lines long!).  i had a problem with layered finishes, so i used a
spherical camera inside a hollow sphere  that had my original procedural
texture on it.  then in paint shop pro i flipped it on one axis so it
was oriented right and then i made a normal map in gray scale.  the
original procedural texture was left in the file so that you good folks
can have a look once i've posted the source.  on both the head and the
body, i cut out pieces, then duplicated the cutout, changed it as needed
and put it back.  on the head an example of this is the red dot (which i
agree isn't bright enough).  on the body, an example would be anything
not white.  the little 'doors' are csg tori and cylinders cut out of the
body, but the way they are set up in moray, the coordinates are all
there to make them real doors if i so choose.  it would be easy.  the
power cables on his feet were made with splines via the bspline plugin
for moray.  currently his feet's wheels are only a pair of cylinders
joined with a box, but i'm trying to figure out the recent 'belt' macro
shown in the animation group.  the main problem is getting it to work
right with moray (i.e. use an include file, but have the external (non
moray) object attached to an internal object).  i may have to hand code
a udo for that.  maybe i should figure out a hologram and project it
onto one og those cylinders?  maybe a hologram of himself?  suggestions?

Great job modelling and texturing, but it needs something to reflect...
Poor guy, what did those imperial storm troopers do to his shoulder sockets?

I thought the ones in the movie were pretty good too.
