Revision of EA´s Slingshot anti-air hover vehicle for Tiberium Wars: Advanced. The Quadcannon one is the restored original model used in Kane´s Wrath to allow a direct comparison.
As with other remakes/revisions, this one had to use only the original texture.
Facecount is 3.836 vs the original 3480.
Even though not featuring the "classic" design from Tiberian Sun, we agreed that the chassis actually looked quite good. Thus, the only visible changes are some small details and the new base for the turret. Still, it offered quite some chances for optimization, freeing roughly 500 faces for me to waste elsewhere... ;)
The turret was remade from scratch with the only guideline of it resembling the real life Gepard AA tank; above all else, the front radar is the most direct result of this (I really like this "detail"). While the guns and the front part turned out pretty much as I had wanted, I still dislike the back part. With the limitation of using only the original texture it proved quite difficult to get the proper shapes done. Not that anyone would notice ingame...
