There you go!, its just a basic model (no physics/bones etc), if anyone wants the model email me (its in max 4 format)

Ok. The model in the previous post contained over 4500 polygons :sad:  Although it looks nice it isnt suitable for tremulous.

Here is my best attempt at optimisation, without changing some of the basic shapes in the concept art.

If you ask me, Id rather stick to a more edgy approach when making structures for defense. The sperical shape makes it look a bit silly in my opinion, and require more polys. Of course, Ive never modeled a thing in my life, so Im just going on mappers instinct right now. :razz:

Less spherical ... less polys ... less cool ... or something ...

Fortunately Turrets won't be 4 times the size of a player...

Timbo has told me that it would be very difficult to implement a turret like that in quake 3 (axis of movement etc).

I cant even do bones in max ...

Well going from a purly "ooh, purdy" standpoint, the turret looks quite impressive.
Its got that robatic arm of death look to it.
But then again, i havnt even played much quake3, much less studied the physics.

Both turrets look good, second one looks more like a death dealing device tho.

the third turret, the 476 poly one is my favorite actually, not because of less polies (well maybe) but i mostly like the look of it over the ~800 poly one, which i like the next, and the third which i like the design/idea of its scheme, but it was too rounded and sort of cartoony (remember i did say i liked it)

me is modeller, me like gravatron-nano plutonic-deathgri-dealing-vulcan-laywer-replicator gun

...
anyway, is that going to be used?
