Amazing! Good work, Commander!

I just wish the base texture on the Acclamator was cleaner and sharper, because as it stands, it's of low-quality atm. I'm always use to utilizing your HD textures...but looking back at Stock textures, I start cringing. I guess that's how it is.

If you'd like, I can do the Venator-class as well. I still intend on doing stuff relating to the Tropikus Front at some point. A Pearl Harbor map has always been on my mind. I may need help designing some brand new Republic and Tropikan aircraft/spacecraft based on RL aircraft.

Don't know if you'll be including Clone Commandos anytime soon, but I'm sharing this. It's Phalanx Squad, under the 514th. I know there are those out there who are obsessed with Clone Commandos, so I figured why not utilize Sithani's model? I know Sithani and the fact that Deviss helped port over the model is amazing. The UV maps and separate .tgas for each section of the model are really convenient when utilizing Photoshop.

Phalanx Squad's skills are very particular. They're not quite Delta Squad or Omega Squad, but they still get the job done behind enemy lines. While we do have Paratroopers and my Pathfinders Regiment, these guys are usually in the thick of it and rather over-powered. They're our secret weapons when we need them the most and they've been utilizing the latest in the Merr Sonn and BlasTech weapon lines including, but not limited to experimental assault cannons and new variants of the DC-17m ICWS. While Delta Squad's operations at Geonosis and the RAS Prosecutor have been largely successful utilizing only the DC-17m and it's already available accessories...Phalanx Squad is always getting the latest and heavier equipment.





The DC-42M, for instance, is a heavy rapid-firing variant of the Republic's main combat rifle, the DC-15A, and utilized as a weapon for intimidation and suppression fire. When the heavy blaster's bolts hits a target, the knockdown effect is incredible. It's been reported to even take down a Trade Federation B-2 Super Battle Droid with only a couple of shots, but not only that - it even sent the droid flying back at least two-three feet. Republic scientists are baffled at the results of the live-fire exercises of the DC-42M. BlasTech is proud of their achievement. These successful weapons tests allowed them to move onto their latest weapons series line - DLT. The plasma cartridges required for such a powerful weapon are massive, however, and require a relatively long reloading procedure...so it's not that ideal for close quarters, although once setup, enemies funneled down a narrow hallway will be mowed down in milliseconds.

Picture of DC-42M will come later once we have one. Need to draw one up.

Presenting the 514th's ARC LAAT/i. An aircraft that's widely and popularly used by the Grand Army of the Republic, the LAAT/i is also capable of spaceflight when the cabin is pressurized. This particular "ARC" variant saw usage on Hypori and was made famous, when Captain Fordo and his Muunilinst 10 went up against General Grievous for the first time during the war. This specific ARC Gunship is used by Commander Phalanx and his 514th Pathfinders during special forces operations - whenever the need arises. The gunship is able to be completely automated by remote, attached to Phalanx's wrist band - a unique feature implemented by a special division under Rothana Heavy Engineering. Instead of the fore and rear laser cannons firing the traditional green, this LAAT's laser cannons fires a light blue and in several occasions has been noted to be quite more powerful than the typical green. The blue lasers aren't just for show and actually utilize a hybrid of standard and ion charges, which means it's incredibly effective against shields when going up against heavy armor and starships. It has the ability to drop charges as it soars over the battlefield, much like the Muunilinst 10's LAAT, and can be remote detonated at any time. The missiles are heavily destructive hybrid plasma-thermobaric high-explosive (PTHE) warheads. Very few have been made, as the chemicals used are highly volatile, as evidenced from an explosive accident at a highly-classified warhead factory. The effects are devastating and horrifying. This gunship is also equipped with the latest in electronic counter-measures (ECM) and are capable of being set to automatically deploy, so that the pilot may concentrate on flying. Without further ado, I present the "Hunter" Gunship utilized by the Pathfinders!

These next shots are of the armored support given to the 514th by the Republic 5th Armored Company, otherwise known as "Laigrek Company".

TX-130-3 - This variant is more of a Tank Destroyer, due to the large gun. You can also see a twin-20mm turret and then there's a .50 cal in the back for rearguard.



Same variant, without the rear .50



TX-131E



Here's the plain 'ol TX-130 Saber-class


The Saber-class provides escort for the others, although the other classes could hold their own remarkably well against all threats. The TX-130-3 is called the Gundark-class and the TX-131E is called the Echani-class.

The All Terrain Tactical Enforcer. First widely used during the First Battle of Geonosis, the AT-TE continues to serve as a powerful weapon in the Galactic Republic's arsenal. Laigrek Company's walkers are no exception here, as they have continued to be utilized since the outbreak of the Clone Wars, and still serve the 5th Armored Company on the battlefield. They're not invincible and have several weak points, but a skilled clone walker crew will be able to utilize the full features the walker has to offer in both offensive and defensive categories. On the Rathian Front, the AT-TE's are still seeing heavy usage. They're currently supporting the assault on Point High Hym by the 514th, under command of ARC Commander Phalanx.

Wow! those look very good. Love the detail! The skull icon looks good! The tank symbol works perfect!

I was trying to find an armoured division symbol with nothing inside it - only the red, yellow, and blue, but I figured a work-a-round was needed. I have so many ideas in my head that I want to test in Photoshop. Not only that, but I need to get back into XSI. I need to model that railgun.

Be good for you to get back into XSI. speed up the modeling props rate.

The ARC-170 is one of the Republic's most advanced Fighter-Bombers and one of the most iconic starships of the Republic Navy and air forces. The 514th's are used in multiple roles, whether it's bombing targets located by scouts or sending back information to the Pathfinders of enemy movement. The 514th also uses ARC-170 support for enemy aircraft, incase convoys should become under assault by Rathian air forces.

Presenting here the 514th, 1st Air Corps. ARC-170

Wow Dang that is Amazingly awesome!

The Z-95 Headhunter was a starfighter designed jointly by Incom and Subpro Corporations years before the Invasion of Naboo. Its resilience and longevity meant it remained a staple of private and low-priority government starfighter forces long after its introduction.

This variant is called a Clone Z-95. It was used during the Clone Wars and saw use during the Battle of Umbara. The 514th's 1st Air Corps. utilizes the Z-95's during pure dog fights. Most notably during the Defense of Kuat Drive Yards when the Tropikus Empire sent a massive carrier and fighter force against the planet during a surprise attack. Several Venator-class Destroyers and Acclamator-I class cruisers have been crippled. One Venator-class was destroyed by a Tropikan Torpedo Bomber after a torpedo went through the engine compartment and hit the main reactor, causing the ship to be destroyed from inside out and pieces of the hull to impact the nearby docks, killing several clone marines and pilots. Several Z-95's and ARC-170's were destroyed on the ground and in their hangars, but a few managed to get spaceborn from a secret station from the other side of the planet. Despite being hit several times, one Z-95 still managed to maintain flight and take down several fighters, proving the resilience of the craft in combat.

That skin looks good! Umm whats wrong with the front of the model?

Which part of the front? You could ask Anakin and JazzMaster that question on Gametoast. You mean the black thing?

No ,I mean why is it so skinny in the front like that?

Because this is a Clone Z-95, not a normal Z-95.

I see. Maybe I can whip up a DD version of the CZ-95

That'd be cool, actually. Better UV's I hope, too. Maybe utilize the textures from the X-wing?



Here we have the AT-AP. Thankfully it uses the same textures as the AT-TE, so that's extremely convenient.

Nice looking. We can sure use those.

Mean time I got these lights working lol. Now to make them move as if that were searching the night skies
for the 1st airborne

Very nice, I love the proper glowing of the lights. It's about time we have proper search lights! I suppose you can keyframe the animations.

The All Terrain Recon Transport (AT-RT) was a one-man bipedal walker used for reconnaissance and patrolling and was made in Kuat Drive Yards. It is used by the Grand Army of the Republic.

The 514th's AT-RT's usually are used for Recon and Infantry support. In several other cases, they've been used to protect the convoys of the 5th Armored Company and ensure vital supplies reach the 514th on the frontlines. These AT-RT's are specially modified for higher speeds than the standard model, due to the 514th Pathfinders Regiment's role in the war.

Wow very nice! The 514th are getting enforced!

Soon the 7elites till have there ground support. I better bug D.A.R.T.H.D.U.C.K to teach me basics of animation
He tried before but I didnt have the time that time lol.

Tip of the lights

Wow! Awesome! I need to find that one Republic Y-Wing that I thought got released. Didn't one get released by Forcemaster or something? If not, I can use the Rebel's Y-Wing as a sort of stripped down/unarmored Y-Wing for the Republic.

Here's the main Rathian army.

Gunner - Lightly armed. Mainly uses a sub blaster or pistol when engaged
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


Soldier - Armed. Uses rifles, Sub blasters, blasters, Sniper rifles, RPGs, pistols
-------------------------------------------------------------------------


Grenadier - Heavily armed - Uses rifles, Assault blasters, Blasters, RPGs, support weaponry
------------------------------------------------------------------------


Elite - Best Equipped - Uses rifles with scopes, Assault blasters, Blasters, RPGs, support weaponry
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amazing work, Commander!

Here's the cloud effect I made awhile back. Similar to COD1's effects in the sky.
Indicates that flak fire is exploding behind the clouds.
