R-Type Final (2003) Ship Viewer
A custom ship viewer to preview the numerous Spaceships, Force and Bits in R-Type Final.
I have always been facinated with the myriad mecha designs of the game but there wasn't a easy way to preview them easily, so I wrote this custom viewer in Unity3D to allow me to do that; and to those who share the same interest.
Refer to "Developer's Notes" section to see the process.
