The Tyranid mod needed some more buildings, and a couple other "loose ends", to finish the art assets, and with some more experience under my belt I was able to do the next 4 models for them in just a few weeks time.
I started with this Capillary Tower. The shape of the model is pretty simple, so most of my time was spent painting the texture. I enjoy doing this kind of hand-painted detail so I took my time and had fun. This is also the first model that I painted using Gimp. A lot of people recommended it as a free substitute for Photoshop, so I thought it was worth the extra effort to learn how to use it.
The model was created in Maya and the texture was painted in Gimp. It has 630 triangles and uses a 512x512 texture.
Based on Forge World's resin model.
