Ikaruga model WIP

since I've started work on this (and collaboration with someone else on it is soon to be noted) I figured the fans would want to see it.
Now note I'm not coloring it up correctly right now. for the moment all I'm working on is the design. once that part is done I'll try and skin it (both polarities hopefully.) and finally attempt to get it into UT2K4 (no plans for a full mod... for the moment.)

The wings are being done by a friend and modelling partner as very soon, so that will be the next piece done.
curses though, I can't seem to find a good shot of the rear. I need that to finish the jets. I've almost got the engine block finished, but I need to do the jets in the back, which are rare to see.

well that clears up the engine issue. now atleast I know it can be skinned on instead of outright modelled.
Just so you know, I'm going for low-poly on this, so don't expect 50 million tris of pretty here.

you should go for a high polygon count... it'll look better in the end that way

That's my new wallpaper. Amazing stuff.

as it stands, this is for Unreal Tournament 2004. it's meant as a vehicle. and as much as you'd like some insane polycount of 10,000, that's not the type of modelling I do. and to be perfectly honest, it'll look really good once it's textured.

latest version of the model. I made alot of changes, but still need to mess with the cockpit a bit more. the wings are coming out nicely though. (thanks greatly to Tortisetanks help making them.) ^.^

Nice, I'd like to fly that baby if I had the game. Are you going to impletement the color switching system?

Maybe. right now it'd be a pain to implement it, but it's possible in the future to have a full polarity mod. (which I will admit would make battles very interesting, and probably loads of fun.) Right now we decided to have our current Anti-Air vehicle, the Scarab, act as a charger for Ikaruga's homing lasers with it's back turret.

SEXIEST MOD EVAR

A polarity mod for UT could really kick ass.

Gentleman, behold!

Corn!

few misc details left. wondering if I should add the landing gear thing or not, as I don't feel it's entirely necessary. but considering I'm doing this for those who loved the game, I guess it's necessary to ask the fans. should I add it, or not?

Landing gear? Sure, if you can somewhat elegentily intergrate into the model somehow.
