Errant AI's TGC Store Products

I already had a review written up for Errant AI, which I had to scrap.  So I'm writing a new one from scratch to better convey my feelings here.  This is on the heels of the latest newsletter, which featured screenshots of his new products.

Errant AI's store: http://en.tgcstore.net/?md=artist-view&aid=77474

I must confess a secret love for all things vending machine.  It's.. kind of weird.  If I could have a downstairs room dedicated to vending machines, arcade machines, and pinball... I'd probably never leave it.  It's weird enough that to the point when I would make houses in the old GameCube game "animal crossing" filled to the brim with vending machines.

I'm literally that weird.

So I kind of have a ton of 'free' vending machines.  Some are good (Gencheff's for example), some are mediocre, some are bad.  Some are excellent (cosmic prophet's diner is a must have freebie collection).  

But nothing.. and I mean nothing - compared to Errant AI's (at the time) lone offering on the store:

Mouth status: AGAPE

Impressively low poly count? Check.

High Def textures? Check.

LOD enabled? Double check.

Oh man.  This guy needs more offerings, I thought to myself.  I was simply unprepared for what he was to unleash next.  So with that, I'm cutting right to the chase here.

What one item can I not live without:  The snack attack pack.  Huge savings (50%), massively diverse inventory and of course... sweet, delicious vending machines.

One should play - o_fortuna.mp3 while looking at this bevy of screenshots:

Eventually found a good shot of the whole pack!

Not just one vending machine (snacks, in this case!)

Not two!

BUT THREE. THREE MORE INCREDIBLY WELL TEXTURED VENDING MACHINES!

And that's not all; he also added a ton of products from the vending machines themselves. All of them are perfect - no stolen brand names.  Completely legit texturing from a copyright standpoint, all equally high quality as the vending machines just waiting for your custom collection/inventory scripting.  

There's even more after this, if you can believe it. 21 snack items in all!

Simply the best soda can in the market.

If I had to choose a non-pack item I would pick... a vending machine.  But only at gunpoint.  I mean seriously, the snack attack pack is such a well priced deal you'd be a fool to buy these items individually.  I understand circumstances vary but given the outright quality of these items there's almost no compelling reason I can think of that will stop me from spending 12 dollars to buy the whole kit and caboodle, as it were.

The bottom line: Beg, borrow, or plead - but find a way to purchase this kit.  I eagerly await future offerings from Errant; his art style, use of color, texturing, poly counts... everything are pretty much as top shelf as it gets.
