I agree with Skywolf, the high res Titan skins are really notable, kind of the opposite of the Mercs (for reasons you already mentioned).
Yeah, the Titan is the main reason I started this project. I just wanted to get some experience by completing the other monsters first before I attempted it. The Mercenary skin looks better in-game if you look at it close up. From a distance, there is almost no difference between the original skin and the new one. I was actually impressed by the original Mercenary skin after having worked on it. The lowest quality skin by far was the Warlord.
I wonder what's up with that small defect in the Titan mesh, though... funny how such things keep popping up after all these years!
I don't know, but I sure wish it could be fixed. There are actually two defects on the skin. Look at the Titan's right thigh in the first screenshot on the last page, and you will see the skin doesn't match up. On the other side of the Titan, this is not an issue.
