Star Wars Rise of Hope is a mod that will be based on the early Empire and its fall against the Rebel Alliance and its following sucessor the New Republic.
The U-Wing got a new model, and it was really needed. The reason for this was the DICE model being to much demanding for the game, for those of you that care about poly, it was 36155 with a lot of detail already removed.
In the picture you can see:
1. If you saw Rogue One you know from who is this U-Wing... ;)
2. This is the generic U-Wing, it will used as a transport for elite forces and commandos.
3. This one is the commander transport variant, its in charge of transporting important figures of the Alliance. Its main difference appart from the color its that its armed with a Y-Wing like turret in the bottom front of the ship.
4. That´s the DICE model for comparison.
5. That´s the U-Wing standard attack position and the back of the ship.

Big thanks to ArvisTaljik for making these great model.
That was fast.
I´m pretty sure you´ll want to change it too dont you? ;)
Yup, and with the fewer polygons, I might be able to squeeze an interior there. Maybe even seats and a manned ion cannon which would make the poly count the same again. XD
Arvis did a great job with this, especially due to the low poly count, modelling miniature details like an actual interior would completely ruin that, and if these ships are used to scale ingame then I think those details will never be visible. I'd say something like that would be unnecessary.
Of course, I'm not adding it to the space model. It's going to be for the ground model.
Looks good. Any plans to have these as land based transports and ground attack similar to the clone wars LAAT?
For now is only made for space, but soon I´ll make a ground variant of the second model.
Could you make a ground variant for the first model instead? Because the second one is Cassian's ship in rogue one. You could save that for a future hero. Also, I think the U-wing should be part of blue squadron, as there were a couple u-wings in blue squadron (blue 8 and blue 6 I believe)
Great texture work, who made it?
The same guy who made it, ArvisTaljik.
I cant wait for this to be in the mod.. is it gonna be a transport ship like in the movie?
Yes, there will this 3 variants. And very likely a ground variant too.
Oh god, it's so beautiful!
:D U-WINGS!
