Tyranid Environment
polycounter lvl 7
I've been working on a UDK environment for school this past semester and I've finally been able to convince myself it's worth posting here.
Tyranids basically are insect-aliens which devour everything on a planet, dump it into digestion pools at the base of "capillary towers". Capillary towers reach into low orbit where they link up to tyranid bio-ships. They then suck up the digested goodness and send it up to the bioships which use the tasty noms to create more tyranids and fly about in space looking for yet more noms.
The capillary towers here are based off the really badass Forgeworld capillary towers and the bunker is based of the one of the Imperial Guard buildings from the first series of Dawn of War games.
I've been working a little assymetrically. Some of the assets in this scene are 100% done (unless I get some advice that changes my mind), baked only LP models with normals and a temporary grey texture and some of the other minor models haven't even been started yet.
