SC2Mapster

With the field guide being released the SC2 Development Valkyrie model was made the official design. With this release I would appreciate a Valkyrie Model accurate to the new design for my projects.

Some suggestions:
- 4 Weapon points (the 4 rocket groups)
- 1 hardpoint attachment (the refulig line on the nose)
- Load/Unload/work (off) animations with swivelling engines (the books say they can function as a transport, they are VTOL)
- Afterburners particles (Spell animations)

I would love to make this but I have a lot of models I have to finish first. But if no one gets to it before I do then I will try and make it. Also the diffuse texture for this model is in the LotV assets

@SoulFilcher:

According to Robear, they sent him this version to him and the wireframe drawer for reasons as to update the art. Lots of SC1 units were in the field guide, and use their sc2 appearance (even the defiler). SC1 versions of some zerg units (hydralisk, ultralisk) appear as "earlier strains". So they likely just saw this as a way to update the visuals of the unit to match its capabilities better. I believe they possibly considered it as a unit before they decided on the Liberator though.

P.S. Yes! This means the gunship/gun cutter uses the original Valkyrie model separately for appearance canonically.

@herdal8: Thanks, I did not notice that before, going to check it out.

@SoulFilcher:

Oh, I guessed that from the beginning since it says "Mira Han's powerful long-ranged bombers", and looks remarkably different Not the first time StarCraft universe has different units/ships with the same name.

@SoulFilcher: Go

That would be nice but the texture looks like it's from the alpha so maybe not but it's definitely worth looking

Have a model like that will be perfect for my remake :D

@Zarxiel93:

Lol, now you can have this and add a gunship/gun cutter like you did with the diamondback.

So, any chance this will eventually be done?

are there any more ingame pictures? maybe in better quality and different angles in game?

Just the one, that's why I provided the field guide and side profile. You kind of have to rely on the field manuel drawing, it has the best detail anyway. Sorry, literally all I could find I posted.

@herdal8: Go

Where did you find that, don't remember seeing those views?

There is a video that shows different stages of development on YouTube

Any possibility of this happening? It would be a useful addition to the terran roster.

I do need this, if anyone is willing to comment.
