Radon-Ulzer Pod Racer

I'm really proud of my second attempt at creating a Pod Racer, similar to the one flown by Anakin Skywalker in The Phantom Menace. I've been doing some research on Star Wars fan wikis and it seems that although Anakin built the pod racer himself, Radon-Ulzer actually manufactured its engines after his big win at the Boonta Eve. Since then, a lot of pilots have tried to copy Anakin's design, but mine is definitely one of the best ones out there. I'm thrilled with how this turned out! I can see a huge improvement in my skills compared to my first attempt at making a Pod Racer. This time around, I've managed to keep the poly count way down and used my tris and texturing much more efficiently. The geometry is still not as detailed as before, but overall, it looks so much better. My main goal was to create something that could actually run in a game engine, and I think I've succeeded. In fact, I'm planning on handing this over to a partner soon because they're going to be putting it into a game engine for me. One thing I might add later is some tribal-style decals to make it look more like Anakin's Pod Racer.
