        @Claymore : Imho the Crux of your model is the mouth, the other stuff is nice. Cant give any solid suggestions tho. Mebbe removing it/something Vader-esque/just a slit/covering it with plating/a round loudspeaker which makes the woo-woo alert thingie or something, hell dunno

          Now that I look at it, I have to agree. I'll change that I think.

            The nose bothers me, you should try and make it less pointy or something.

              I've changed the mouth because it always botherd me for some reason. I've tried to make it bit more machine-like by making a more angular mouth and putting a grill texture over it. Does this look better or worse?

                Claymore if you have time could you try making the shape more of a rectangular face (not a rectangle but more like the old watcher) when looking from the frontal view - I think it would make it look more hard edged.

                  I like the shape and all as it is, but the skin could be different. I would like to see it different from the old one.

                    You mean like this? I'm not sure how to do it because max naturally just smooths out the model. This is just changing the view, so it doesn't show it smoothed out. *talking to convict*

                    Anyways, I'm interested to know, anyone else working on a Watcher model?

                      If you can figure how to get the model to really be that way, it would look sweet after retexturing.

                        It's an absolutely amazing model, and Thievery could almost use it as a standard to revamp the rest of the mod. a highly-polished, no longer UT99-old-skool bad graphics is what yeh've got there. Can't wait for it too be implemented (hinthint)

                        BTW, you're using 3DstudioMAx, right? You know whre i can get a cheap copy of it? Until then i'm stuck using Autodesk Revit and exporting to all kinds of odd filetypes.

                          Thanks, rad. I wouldn't call it that amazing, but your comments are much appreciated.

                          As for 3ds max, I'm using version 5, which still has most of the features of the newer versions (up to 7 now). I think you can buy it for about $3K now, though I've heard that some bad people download it off p2p, but obviously no one here would do that.

                            You can get a 2 year student license for 100$, which is a somewhat cheaper solution if you happen to be studying something.

                              My Architectural design prof. gave me his old copy of Revit (6.1) And he's got an old 3DS version too (5.0)

                              thanks for the idea, MB

                                Yeah, I got a 1 year liscense of Max 7 for about $100, student discount. They list some retailers on their website.
