LOL, sorry wicket.. didnt see a few of your updates for a while there. I think the problem with the cannons is, their real.. just you need to apply a darker, texture.. i THINK. It still looks great wicket . animation is really cool too . For animations in the future, you should have bright lights coming out of the barrells like it has been fired off.. i think you know what i mean.. the "shoot" effect. Its coming along GREAT. As for your model in the other challenge, you should model a gargoyle or the "slug" <--- a big sweet tank that has never been made (its a game.. metal slug). Something still non-organic.. but not human looking . Up to you though.
