Quite a while back I submitted a helicopter resource that included a free helicopter model. I've since completely re-done the model (pictured above) and made it available for sale on Turbo Squid. Please note that this model is not pre-configured for the Torque engine.

I will be adding more of my work to Turbo Squid in the near future.

Super-cool, Tim! Looks awesome.

Nice one Tim. Just wondering, is it just me, or do the soldiers feet look a bit small?

Are you planning on turbosquidding the soldier too?

BTW: One thing I've noticed from some TS models, is that they dont tend to use photoshop for thier textures. It's pretty annoying to have a great model, but have the texture non layered so that you cant repurpose it with different decals (I'm specifically thinking of aircraft models with markings that you'd like to change but cant because theyre baked into the diffuse with lighting applied etc). Suggest using photoshop and keeping the layers AND having a flattened jpeg or whatever too.

Nice work Tim.

I also agree with Phil, although I would have suggested the Gimp rather than Photoshop, but only because I am poor!

Tim Heldna (Jun 06, 2007 at 09:44 GMT)

Thanks for the comments guys.

I agree with you both, PSD's will be included from now on. I'll update the helicopter to include PSD's as well.

The Iraqi won't be on TS as he's being used in a game however I will be placing characters on TS at some stage, fully rigged and animated of course.

Here's one I did under contract. Working on a contractual basis has been a good learning experience.

Awesome work... Nice detail on both models!

Tim Heldna (Jun 11, 2007 at 11:02 GMT)

This week and the next we will be finishing the weapon pack. We are not sure where it will be published. We will contact GG to see if they're interested, else it will appear on turbosquid.

We will do a pic of the day soon with a playable demo.
