I've been making slow progress on this animation, as I got a job in the meantime, but I'm still working on it. The Guards are now done, and I've got a preliminary model for their laser rifles. Next up, I have to do the second scene, where Unit 042 lands at the station, as I've also finished the first scene. Though i may still go in and make some changes to it later if it becomes necessary.
The opening scene to the animation I'm working on.
