Title: Rework the ant/desert stalker models
Post by: Roachor on May 09, 2010, 07:13:31 pm
They appear way too flat in game, they look more like giant tapeworms. Also if an ant gets knocked down its abdomen curls into the ground and disappears. The model should be made taller and possibly change colours as ants aren't beige. You could just rename them roaches and make them brown as they don't really have ant like shape, ants don't have huge antenna that they wave around, their bodies are more like a series of spheres and not overlapping ovals and they seem to be lacking mandibles.

One reason why they look so bland is that they don't have shadows.

I'm all for 3d models but those in particular don't look anything like they should.

It looks flat, because you don't have shadows.


This is a bug, which exists since longer time already.

The ants look like termites.

The old ants were cooler looking.

they look flat because they are flat, the edges look sharp when they move.

With shadows, a kind of depth is added to them. This makes them look less flat.

Must be déjà-vu day. Thought I've wrote that already.

But you cant add projected shadows right? So at most it would be a blob under the models..
