Rebel Pilot

I asked Crysis 3 character artist about the specs.
His reply:

Specs:
~15k tris
counting ~4-5k tris for the face
2k texture for faces
2k textures for body
optional 1k texture for details (psycho)
Nanosuit Mp uses one 4k texture (wanted to go NEXTGEN )

I thought it could be usefull.

I agree with SharkY and Ben, We should focus on just getting the map, characters, animations, and sounds done for Hoth, and then once we finish all of the basics and we find more time we can make other versions of the pilot and other models. Getting an Alpha ready should be our main priority as a team. Pilot looks great btw.

Right-o.
Point taken. Since Hoth is our only map for now with Pilots, I guess we can get away with it.
But as soon as we release another one, I still stand by that we need different models. People tend to notice these little details, esp the Hardcore fans, and they will be our main initial target hopefully.

Good stuff to know that, Lephenix

Well, yeah I agree with that too, we should have the alternate pilot for Hoth, but for now we just need to stay focused and try to get our Alpha done within the next 4 to 6 months.

Current one:

Slapped as many details on there as possible until the update was about to commence (which it didn't for some 2-3 hours but whatever).
So, insulation and some small cylinders still missing (leg, maybe belt, although as I've switched the belt-'model' the ref doesn't have any cylinders there anymore).

Error 403 on that image.

Should work now.

Ooh, nice work man. Do you plan on puttig the insulation in or not?

I plan on putting those tubes on the arm and some cylinders in.
And I'll start preparation on the next character (gathering refs etc).

Hmm, what are you doing next? I'm curious. Smuggler maybe? Or Imperial Tech\Officer

Dunno, something with a lot of refs if possible, so I can maybe get it done until April 1st.
Imperial Scout is a possibility.

Hmm, though Impy Scout won't be needed for Hoth, since they're all wearing the same armor, AFAIK (cause of the cold).

Yeah, but he'll be needed for, like, every other map.

haha, true enough. i just though we might want to get the Hoth stuff done first. Who's doing the Rebels? SharkYbg?

Well, for the rebels there aren't any more designs for troopers on Hoth which don't look very similar to the trooper I already created. And I don't want to copy SWBF2's characters, cause I think their design is not that good.
For the Empire the only trooper who looks like he could be on the battlefield and canonically is on Hoth at that time is the AT-AT driver, but that one has parts of the Stormtrooper helmet incorporated into his. So I thought, why do that part of the helmet twice? Better do the Stormtrooper first. And then I thought, the Stormtrooper is 90% hard-surface stuff, I'm not that good at hard surface, better practice it first. Then I thought, well, the scout has some parts hard-surface and some parts cloth, so I can practice hard-surface.

That was basically my train of thought.

Ok, you're the expert in this stuff man, I've only modeled basic stuff. If you feel its better this way, go right ahead
I thought hard surface would be easier hah. You prefer organics?
Why not the Wookie XD? Too much fur I guess.

I can sculpt organic things, which is less tech-y than hard-surface modelling cause you don't have to think about edge flow, too sharp angles for bakes, all that stuff.
