In my humble opinion, Cydonian and yourself sit on the same shelf of unitmakers.

<<< Less tired now.

So you didn't make a 3D model of a better-looking Thrall/Zerk and take screenshots. My god, that must have been massively difficult and frustrating. I wouldn't know about making collections but I get the basic idea. This sounds a bit stupid, but who was Cydonian and why was he god-like?

A Hi-Res Unit Tagset would be cool, but unless the majority of the community chips in to help make hi-res units, then it aint gonna happen.

No no no, Iron *did* make new models for those units.

Off the top of my head, units that weren't made into new models by Iron were:
Journeyman
Trow
Mortar Dwarf.
Things like that, I think there's more.

Cydonian = I'd say father of M2 unitmaking, to be fair. While I consider IronDuke and Cydonian around equal, it was Cydonian who got the ball rolling.

Cydonian was also the most prolific unitmaker by far. He made nearly every unit in The Seventh God, and the Homelands, and Bushido, and Gor'Ash. Which is like fifty units or something.

I think Iron *did* make a Mortar Dwarf. I've seen it in Frenzy and Mazz 5. I could be wrong.

The mort is made from the uncompressed bitmaps of the Bungie model.

It's great. You can see the dwarfs body go through the mesh of his mortar, the pictures are that much clearer. Haha.

the mort isn't mine, its from a series of hi-res renders that Bungie did, as are the beautiful heron etc.

Cydonian was not only more prolific than anyone else, but the design and texturing of his units were brilliant (especially the 'shido and TSG ones) and I don't hold a candle to him when it comes to animation.

I love the legionaires from TSG.

Indeed, maybe some of your walking cycles look a little hokier than Cydonians.
I still rate your units very highly though.

EDIT: Nevermind, I don't think that's what you meant.
