I have posted pics of the first model that will be used in game - The Gunship. These are work in progress and are up so people have something to look at.
The Gunship is designed and rendered in Catia, when complete it will be exported into 3ds max for implementation into the game. This version of the model contains 2080 polys and little to no detail, the textures are place holders so you can see the shape, the final high poly model will used to create a normal map.
The Gunship is a troop transport similar in function to the Hind. It will have anti-infantry weapons (mini guns and rockets) while moving 4-6 soldiers at high speed to their destination. It will descend upon the battlefield from a high altitude cruiser in a similar fashion to the drop ship in Aliens.
