Nice work guys, I think the Golan arms and the scout trooper were the best! Those 2 seemed the best detailed to me. And sry if I seems kinda blunt, I like the others too, you guys are doing very good! This mod and one other are the ones im waiting for. The slower the better itll be.

p.s. the other mod im waiting for is the Apocolypse mod. Its another sweet looking one.

The textures on the Rebel and the Imperial Officer look amazing, besides the lack of bump maps (another word for normal maps) for the wrinkles. If you ask me, that strange granite like texture on the Scout Trooper's pants looks a bit strange.

None taken, we went traight into the textures asap when we got the models done. Me on my side and Rybot to his so we both had our own approach to the textures. His being more sharp/detailed and mine more soft/polished. It's one of the hard things about making a mod with many people, we have to focus on trying to make the game seem as a complete package and not broken up in different styles. I'm sure tweaks will be made eventualy on the designs. We also try to have the same process for our models so they fit together.

Thanks for the critiques guys, help us aim right.

Well, I don't think that the textures are poor personally, (I actually really like them), but they just have a little bit of a different style than the Scout Trooper, but don't worry, we've heard your guys comments and we're working on it

Are you guys referring to the textures or the models themselves?

I love it all! But 1 thing... I think there should be a little more detail on the Im. Officer and the Rebel troop.

Yea, I noticed that on the scout trooper, the wrinkles look really realistic. Normal maps are so sweet lol.
