We already know that the game uses per-rendered sprites from 3D models. But…
What if we had such a model in our hands?
How many animations, poses we can create if we had something like this? Introducing…
CI1/2 Chicken Model Remake
It’s just CI1/2 model, I tried to do the original chickens as I thought it was easy, Turns out, It wasn’t… Just look at how many times I edited the beak and thought it’s the final version…
The beak is already complex, even though it’s made with chopped cone, changing the location may change the whole appearance of the face.
However there are already some cons with the model that I can’t fix it based on my skills on Blender yet… And these are:
Pupils are separate objects and can’t be embed into the eyeballs.
There’s no animation support
Some stuff are lacked here because I can’t model them (umbrella from CI2, seasonal clothes)
Now, it’s your turn!
Now you have the base model, you can add/edit anything for the better!
Feel free to add any of the missing stuff!
Part 2: Chicken Invaders 3
As I made the tounge in CI2 chickens, I wanted to experience for who it would fasten my work when making the other episodes chickens. And it did, kinda.
One of the difficult stuff to deal with was the shirts, it had unique lines that replicating was hard to do…
And the second hard thing was of course, the beak…
However making other beaks in future should be easy by just stretching them.
As we made with the first part, you can change stuff on your own.
Part 3: CI4
This one took way longer, but we had a new problems to deal with…
I didn’t add textures to the shirts sadly. as..
I don’t know where are these textures from.
The shirt model is more complicated.
The legs took most of the time.
It’s obvious why it took longer, I had to model the nails + make textures for them…
It would be great for anyone to actually fix these issues, so we make it all community effort, not just a single person working…
Pinanas:
Finally, I made a model for the chick!
Actually, there’s one tiny issue…
I can’t replicate the feather effect seen in the og chick. If anyone know how to replicate it, let me know.
Also for who want to try that model, redownload the chicken model of CI4.
Part 4: CI5
It took a while but here we go, 2 ships in a row!

Interesting angles
VF is still in work, it might be difficult. Not sure if anyone did it before (aside from iA ofc)
And we’ve finished!
[image]
This model was hard to do… As it wasn’t easy as the main plane is rotated in top…

More angles
What’s next is we’re going to make the old ships, starting with…
And CI1 ship is finished!
[image]
CI2 ship wouldn’t be straight forward tho as I have to remake the “Engines” from scratch. Aside it has some improvements of the cockpit shininess which I don’t know how to replicate…
Other views
I couldn’t make the shine sadly so here is the model as if it’s just CI1 but upgraded…
[image]
Actually I like the model the only issue is that I still couldn’t replicate that shine…
[image]
Also police ship is done too, yes the wings are that short.

Here goes CI3 Model:
[image]
It was just modifying some pieces to look similar to CI3, I had to make new stuff too. Like the “circles” behind the cockpit.
More angles:
[image]
Also, yes iA used CI3 ship in CI2 images…
[image]
Looks familiar now. I’ve also modeled this chick from CI3:
[image]
The chick only appears in the easter edition but I decided to remake it as it’s kind of a new character. With a new design. It’s still kind of sad we barely see that chick. I guess it’s made as fea…
And CI4 Ship is done! It’s been a while since I made 3D models, and just came back with this.
[image]
It has few additions as mentioned before. And with that all ships are finished!
Our next target is…
[image]
I don’t think it will be that easy but I’ve took some notes:
All colors are just gradient of 2 colors, cyan → purple.
Each object are flat textures and face the camera.
Each object uses additive blending to show glow.
The galaxy is 3D in game, there aren’t any parallax illusions.
T…
UPDATE:
I’ve unfortunately decided to cancel the galaxy model.. It’s too much work on something I can’t do. It exceeded my limits…[noooooooooooooooo]
However there are more plans for future models, these models include:
Hen Solo Ship
Feather Brain
Slob Chicken
Turkey
These are the main models which should be easy, There are also plans for bigger which may be cancelled too which include:
Iron Chef
Space Crab
And with those, I may end the models remake project. there can be more models afte…
