Intro

I quite like this model, the meshs smoothness and the quality animations should make a great bundle... the skins however aren't so good many just being flat colours or look like they were ripped from a texture library.

Originality

You have to admit, this wee character isnt the first thing you would suggest for a quake2 PPM.:)

The Model

Very simple model, looks almost exacly like the tentacles it was based on though maybe a bit inefficient on the polygons, however it is one of the smoothest looking models out there. Unfortunatly it is small enough to make it a major disadvantage to fight against.
Score: Four

The Animations

While the design of the model severly restricts what the model is capable of doing, Lutz has done an excellent job in making the animations look varied and high quality.. I especially like the death anims:)
Score: Seven
