Hello, Guys.   While many of you may already have seen me around here, I wanted to take the oppertunity to thank everyone who has helped me to get where I am now. As a model creator I'm still quite some ways behind guys like Alleyviper85, GhostNova91, TaylorMouse and others. However, by starting this showcase thread I hope to find people that may have input so I can increase on quality and delivery.

I also hope to release new assets with some regularity. Time is sparse however, so I hope you guys will understand.

Small note for the 'creation-community': I use blender with Println's plugin, Paint.net and sometimes Unigraphics.

EDIT: On account of TaylorMouse's advise, I've uploaded new images of all Talon unit created so far.

I hope that they come better to their rights, and that th unit-design is clearly visible for anyone to see.

Because of this, I'll repost all units here again.

When presenting your stuff, make sure the contrast is ideal, my friend is colorblind, he told me he can only see orange and yellow spots in the pictures above.

So I suggest you use a lighter colored surface to put your models on to present.

The whole idea of having so many contrasted colors in game is to easy identify the unit, in your case, although I rly like the black/purple combination, is not so "unit" friendly. 

So what I'm seeing is this ( a little exaggerated of course, but just to trying to explain myself) :

Other than that, welcome to the club ;D

Thanks for the reply man! :)

I never realised that could be a thing.

Entire idea why I presented them this way was to create sort of a vibe.

Then I'll go ahead to quickly make some images with a greyish background like everyone else :)

Edit: Thank TaylorMouse, the time I've been present here allready has taught me much.

Hope I can deliver the best to this awesome community :)

Ooh, yes this is much better, I really like the hexagon on the units.

T.

Thanks :)

I also like it as the thematics for the faction. Which however does bring me to the following.

I've been working on some of the buildings like the Photon Cannon and Gateway however I'm not getting the models quite right.

The effects on them, such as the powerup effect and some strange elektric-like beams shoot away from it.

Is there any way in Blender to get this thing with the particles and ribbons repaired?

Talon Bloodwing

Some tweaking yet to be done. The Bloodwing is a variant for the Protoss Phoenix.

Talon Watcher

Talon Scout

An alpha version of the soon to be ready Talon Scout. This model is basically just for fun as its not an officially used unit outside of the campaign.

However, it may yet arrive in a future mod and it just felt right to include a Talon-themed model for it.

Talon Oracle

I'm yet looking into possible variations to the corOverall however the model itself is about ready.

Tell me guys what you think?

Also, since I've worked on the scout I've found a better way to do the hex and make it blend better.

Expect some updates to other released models aswell.

I really like the talon scout and the talon paladin.

Perhaps I'll add them for later mission [with your permission].

Permission is granted :)

And thanks!

Quote from Scbroodsc2 >>

I very like the animation on that tempest! Do all these units have such anim? Btw they are amazing.

When you animate the hex, change the emission rate, than it doesn look like it come out of the center, more like , it beams in from the center ;)

Just a thought

Next up will be

Talon Carrier

NICE!

Like it how you handled the "little" ones :D

T.

Haha :)  Wouldn't be complete without them :D
