BUT, the don't have to retract. We can always change it to be an X-Wing-like open and close motion, which I personally think would be awesomer.

It's f-ing awesome like this.

That might be cool too, but trust me, this effect is cool too.

Darth, didn't you have c2 too? I'll show you some time later today.

i could but it means i have to redo the spikes. I wanted to get the organic fell of a claw. which i think it came out pretty well

Tex map is being working on by Darth.

For me i would think of it as a claw that opens and closes like the x-wing.

Very good work in my opinion. It could perhaps use a few tweaks to smooth out the intersections of the various parts, but overall I think it is good as it is. As for animations, I agree with the idea for an x-wing like animation (if it is possible).

What's the poly count? Also, I wouldn't want to replace an animating model with a non-animating model. Ideally, every model should either have some kind of idle animation or combat animation.

Post subject:	Re: Textures
ill be animating it soon. but i have no way of testing if it works in game. I have asked a few people to see if they can tex map it since im not very good at that area. the final poly count after the few edits i did is 1436.

I do have a copy of the mesh viewer so i figured i show what it looks like in there. There is no tex map. well i though a random one on there so you can see the lighting affect better.
