Also, will the walkers be able to walk through water? That would be extremely useful for potential projects.

Thanks for letting us know. I personally prefer what you said the replacement will be like, even without the cockpit.

Heh, that's a more complicated question than you'd think. The short answer?

Yes, and no.

Longer answer? We won't be seeing this cockpit in the Endor AT-ATs as it isn't a full environment. Being a cockpit view it is designed only to be seen from a specific point of view, so for instance there is no back wall to the room as you never see it from the pilot view.

That said, we also have the crew bay in development (the interior of the main hull), and this may be designed so that it can be used as the interior you see from the passenger seats, but also as an interior you can walk into on a static AT-AT Walker. The current Endor Walker is an older and cruder model than the one being developed for Hoth, so it is quite likely that the current one on Endor will be replaced by this one at some point with an open door and full crew bay interior, the main difference with the interior will be that there will be a closed hatch that would prevent you gaining access to the cockpit area.

Be nice if the crew did adjust the levers, like the movie. Code the driver moving his like a throttle aka the speederbike and the gunner bloke moves his for head cannon elevation

Heh, I doubt they move those levers for each footfall. If you watch the movie they tend to occasionally adjust those controls, so it is more likely some kind of throttle type device that controls speed, though I'm only guessing.

Epic as usual, very nice work!

I've never paid close enough attention to the AT-AT to see that, does it work as one guy pushes on each side to move one pair of legs?

Guessing theres going to be a moddb article to bump? Ha.
