Thanks very much all. You can definitely see me getting better over the years of WIPs on these unfinished projects. For the AT-ST in particular I was looking pretty closely at reference photos of the ESB and RotJ models and adding that specific kind of weathering, vs for a lot of my older ships in this same thread I built up more weathering out of what was convenient to make in substance painter or what felt right in my imagination, and not looking as closely at real SW or real world reference. I already knew it, but it just goes to show that real reference is king.

On a similar note, I took a small detour to Naboo and made this Shaak, the weird bulbous domesticated animals from Episodes I and II. I have some stock photos of elephant skin stamped in there and they help it look much more realistic than without...


This is just a joke render, the background is just a low res blurred AotC shot and doesn't really match the lighting of the 3D stuff. But it's fun to see some stuff on terra firma instead of in space. I'll get back there though...

I finished the walker! very happy with how it came out

Modeling is done, on to textures.

Allllmost done with the AT-ST

My models, everything made by me except the embers/sparks over the explosions are from pixabay royalty/attribution-free stock photos. The D7 remains competitive in the TMP era!
