...especially the creator of our alien & soldier models & ask him if he would share more of his (old) original artwork with us if he still has it saved somewhere, as especially all the model related original stuff would mean the possibility for us to easily make great improvements visually in-game.
There is lots of stuff missing from our data_source, if we would have the source files of all the aliens model related stuff for example, we could professionally bake the normalmaps using specialized tools for that, we could test our different LoD mesh technology in-game by creating more detailed models from the sources & we could also generate higher resolution textures we could then modify & variate...

So if you have some possibility to contact the original team & organize this, it would be highly appreciated from the current artists' side...
