Mrel: Al|ens-style Turret

<div class="IPBDescription">Kind of... Sort of... Ugh.</div> I was bent on having the basic turret use the NS turret's anims, so I used some of the NS turret's parts. Unfortunately, it didn't work out very nice, but it's fully assigned to the skeleton, so it animates [except the ammo chain, which is solid]. No clipping. The difference between the NS skin and AvP2 skin is pretty heinous, so if anyone wants to try reskinning the AvP2 turret and tripod bits, go right ahead. I'm including the turret firing sounds from version 2.0 of the AvP2 sound pack released here not long ago [thanks for that!].

And I did a sort of Siege-Turret thing with the charged partical phalanx turret from the APC, using the NS siege's tripod. Oh, my God, it's ugly, so I'm only releasing it as an afterthought because I doubt anyone wants something so horrendous [the skin on it is, like, less than 16x16 pixels...], but I may as well, just in case. Just use the default NS siege, guys. It's plenty gorgeous.

Those are <b>so</b> ugly I want to shoot myself for even clicking those links.
I think it looks groovy - it just needs a tighter skin.
edit: I say that re: the normal turret. The siege turret looks too simple, but again a better skin might help a lot.

It's not ugly, it's just the textures could use a bit of sharpening.
Nice, for a first try.
uh... actually I just wanted to mention that I liked this model and made this skin just for myself (as you can see I'm just a n00b @ skinnig).
but now... why not sharing it with the community?
think I'll release this skin when I managed to get the black/white/greyscale parts looking the same color as the rest of the sentry... <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

How would a "aliens" turret actually look like
does it have camo? alien blood on it? Dirt ? clean ? is it damaged ?
The sky...er i mean the skybox is the limit

I'll see what I can do to the skin now with my new "inspiration" <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

np..make the top of the siege cannon scratched up, more black stuff on it, u added like one black dot..just like do ur best copying the original but in a different way...the legs on ur current siege does not go on a low detailed top part of the siege..but overall its kool..
now thats a pretty sweet sentry
looks like a siege and a normal sentry in one
its not bigg
nor is it small
anway its good to see some1 finaly maid a good attempt to do some structures , keep up the good work i would say <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
