    I wanted something closer to a heavily armored trooper like this:

    At first I liked the idea of mechs, but they just would not be practical since they would always need some type of transport, and are to bulky for close combat fighting.

    it lacks a head ^^

    also about mechs, they really only have disadvantages in war. they are powered by a nucular reactor that goes boom if all goes wrong - not very cool when that happens close to your troops ;)
    apart from that, compaired to wheels or tracks, feet are quite complex things, so you can go just a tad more and use a heli or vtol right away - which additionally could fly ...

    mech suits on the other hand do make some sense in urban enviroments at least, though they are noisy. and in terms of infantry in war, it tends to get more and more of either a supportive roll as mechanized inf (and here i think afvs are better bc they are less complex) or stealthy spec ops stuff (where robots would only be small surveilance tools).

    this means, pro such suits (with a head that is) but i, personally, would be against mechs ...

    edit:
    also what happend to his left arm? kinda looks like an antenna for terrestrial tv oO

    Are you talking about a steam explosion or something? I'm pretty sure that an accidental nuclear explosion from a nuclear reactor is next to impossible.

    Hell yeah. Looks absolutely amazing. Spartacus approves.

    For the NF suit make it resemble an old diving suit, it would fit them a lot.

    So when exporting models from Source to use in Unity they looked awful, and very boxy. Also for some reason the textures would not bake correctly, so instead I brought all of the Vehicles into Blender, and smoothed out the models, then exported them as autodesk .FBX files. Then I went ahead and created new normal maps for each of the textures. I like the new looks way better. Also you can see the bump map shader I used for them on the medium tank. I added a little bit more detail on the mediums cannon, and rebaked the texture. both pictures were taken from the Unity3d editor.

    Edit: In the future I will create the lightmaps for them, this is by no means how the vehicles will look in the final demo.

    did you create that just from the texture or did you make a highpoly for it?

    if you didnt create one, maybe i should pound myself to get the highpoly done so you can have some better normal maps and even a more detailed model

    If you have a more detailed model I would definitely take it.
