3D models
There have been three fan attempts to recreate the 3D model for the Iron Demon by inspecting the visual evidence we have from the pre-beta period:
- This model on TurboSquid by Ashley Davison
- This model by Seventeen Seconds, used in Konoko Payne by Pierre
- This model by bobbysoon, based on the above model. This one was used in multiple AE packages; see this one for a starting point.
