WIP Animation Khador Destroyer
mod
So instead of cluttering up the "What are you working on thread" some more, I figured I should probably start my own thread and try to keep things a little more organized.

I'm running really low on spare time these days, work is shifting into crunch mode so progress on this has slowed down quite a bit =/ I mostly worked on the environment, atmospherics, lighting and the animation this time around. There is still quite a bit of work left to be done, particle effects, environment textures, un-playdo the rocks, and of course, add the cod piece bone... blablabla bla... =P
Edit: switched out the animated thumbnail for a static shot
