I.T.D.

Composition of both the solid and textured versions of my recreation of PTMC's Internal Tactical Droid (ITD for short).

Chronologically speaking, the ITD was the second model I recreated after the PEST, it served to fully cement and launch the Ascent Project into what it is today.

The ITD was done in a somewhat similar fashion to the PEST, mainly using in-game screenshots to draft a couple of quick sketches and then proceeded straight into modeling. I considered it done until several months later when I revisited the model to make a few changes to the mesh and replace the procedural maps with some simple UVW mapping/texturing.

A couple of quick notes:
- The smaller, lateral lenses are animated to traverse back-and-forth horizontally along the front face of the model (you can see their tracks). I did this as a way to emulate the animated "orbs" texture of the original model.
- The Light Vulcan barrels are also animable.
- At one point it had external ammo belts, but I found them to be too disruptive of the sleek shape of the model so I scrapped them. For the nerdy like me: magazines are kept and fed to the chambers internally (you can also see ejection ports below the pods).

That is all, thank you very much for your support! For watching and for reading this!

PS: For those of you who noticed - I also recreated the PTMC logo.
