Former Developers Havoc89 Posted May 22, 2009 Former Developers Share Posted May 22, 2009 Renegade X: Nod Update! The Brotherhood of Nod is a mystery. The origins of the organization and its charismatic leader is unknown. Its power is unprecedented. Its truth is unlimited. Nod as an organization appeared first in the mid 1990s, as the primary opposition to the Global Defense Initiative. The Brotherhood has a global presence, with a heavy concentration of its forces and influence covering the third world. They are pioneers in the refinement of Tiberium, and are always one step ahead in developing new technologies intended to take advantage of Tiberium growth worldwide. Kane, the leader of the Brotherhood, is a mysterious figure. His origins, whereabouts, and any details about him whatsoever, remain unknown. Nod sees Kane as a savior proclaiming a new message of unity and freedom from the corrupt tyrants of the world. He propagates Tiberium as a gift to the earth, and its mutating effects on humans to be the next step in our evolution. Nod does not come in peace. It comes ahead of peace - Kane. Nod Supremacy The official Renegade X Nod wallpaper is now avaliable. 16:10 Resolutions 1920x1200 1680x1050 1280x800 4:3 Resolutions 1600x1200 1280x960 1024x768 Renegade X has new Nod assets ready for fighting GDI! Sakura! A Japanese woman covered in tattoos with a quiet, brooding, intense personality, Sakura Obata was raised in the male-dominated environment of the Japanese mob, the Yakuza. Disenchanted, she decided to use her considerable talents as a mercenary, and was hired by GDI to work with the Project: Shadow Strike unit, later known as the Dead 6 alongside then-captain Nick Parker. During one assignment, she was separated from her team and ambushed by Nod troopers. Since she was never heard from again, she was assumed dead. However, it turned out she joined Nod. She was hired by general Gideon Raveshaw as his personal mercenary. As a commando armed with a Ramjet Rifle, Sakura is one of the most valuable units in the game! Nod Armoured Personnel Carrier We had decided to take a new design for Nod's APC. Influence has been taken from the Stryker vehicle. Armed with an M134 gatling machine gun, and with enough room for five passengers, the APC plays a very necessary role in the game. Nod Officer The Nod Officer is the point man for Nod basic infantry on the field. He is both inexpensive and useful, as he uses a heavy chaingun to eliminate his enemies from close and far ranges alike. Watch out! Nod Flame Tank A personal favourite for many. Flame Tanks are a signature Nod vehicle, armed with dual flame cannons to ensure maximum damage, and heavy armour to guarantee that it will make it to its target. Although close ranged, Flame Tanks are a fiery threat to enemy vehicles, infantry, and structures. Don't let these in your base, GDI! Firefly Laser Rifle Nod's 'Firefly' Laser Rifle takes Brotherhood laser technology to ground level. Its instant beams not only maintain a good range, but are capable of tearing vehicles apart and incinerating enemy infantry. It is the primary weapon of the Stealth Blank Hand, creating a deadly mixture of stealthy tactics and powerful weaponry. The texture is still an early Work in Progress! SDT-B Vulture Shotgun A weapon used by both Nod and GDI shotgun infantry, the 'Vulture' Shotgun is a close ranged weapon used best against infantry and light vehicles. With eight rounds per shot, the shotgun could put a hole in just about any infantry at the proper range. AG79 Kestrel Automatic Grenade Launcher GDI's only asset in this update. The 'Kestrel' Grenade Launcher fires 40mm grenade rounds in an arc. Although difficult to become accustomed to, if used correctly, the Grenade Launcher could pose a threat to infantry, vehicles, and structures, especially in packs. Primary fire shoots a grenade that explodes on impact, while secondary fire shoots a grenade that will bounce and last a few seconds. That's all for now!

CrazyAndy Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Love the APC! Can't wait to see so much detail ingame. It actually says armored personnel carrier on it, haha! Awesome! Can't wait to see flame tank shooting flames. I bet flame effect is going to be 'a bit' cooler than in old Renegade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterXc Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Just a question, will it be optional wether you choose the urban camouflage or the red one? since in Renegade all camouflage was red, I know that it was urban before that but it just seems a lil bit.. weird?

~Aydynbek~ Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Love the update! APC, Flame tank, and everything else were awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demigan Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Flame tank: nice, and not just because it's a great tank. Nod officer: Nicely finished, although he doesn't seem to radiate an immediate 'I am the officer' look like the GDI officer seemed to have. Sakura: Detailed reconstruction at it's best. She really looks like the real deal, but instead of the anorexia she had in the original game she seems to have some real fat and muscles appropriate for her occupation. Firefly: Well, it looks a lot better then those gray WIP thingy's or whatever you call them. I think that if the crystal was a little smaller then it looks now, it would be perfect. Too bad it's so far in production already. Shotgun: Splendid, it actually looks like you don't want to be at the business end of this one. The original renegade one seemed more a plastic nightstick which incidently could shoot to me. Kestral: You guys really know what a weapon should look like! I't a magnificent design and I'm actually considering trying this one out as a substitute for the normal soldier. APC: I saved this one for last. It's magnificent, not a work of art but a work of craft. It looks armoured, fast, capable of carrying various loads and it's build for the battlefield with a nasty machine gun on top. Wonderfull! Yours sincerely, Demigan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're going to use a shader on it, as opposed to a material, so that's no problem . Wont be as visible in-game though, and its the main function of the weapon as it were. I wanted to show off what the weapon was all about .I've uploaded some more traditional renders to my deviantart, shows a different angle .http://lordzargon.deviantart.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inflames Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Oooo controversial APC change! Glad you did it though, overall I am highly impressed. The original was a major missfit lined up against both GDI & NOD imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamWolf Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Truely awesome update. I love the new Sakura model, she looks epic! The finished APC just looks amazing, can't wait to drive one. The Nod Officer and Flame Tank just look too awesome for words and as for the Laser Rifle, Shotgun and Grenade Launcher, well words can not describe. Another awesome update guys, keep up the great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsumetai Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 It's good. The APC and Sakura seem especially amazing, but the Flame tank strikes me as underdetailed, especially next to every other vehicle you've done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They update regularly and the fact they do so many video's has always come as a bonus. Enjoy it while it lasts, the next mod you will be keeping track off (if you ever will after rene-x is released) probably won't be so regular or with so many (good) video's.Yours sincerely,Demigan.

SoD.X Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I find only 2 things missing, and both of them on flame tank. First is that EVERY tank should have front hull loops, incase the engine will give up on working so it could be carried away. Second is hulls headlights, thats about it =p otherwise everything looks awesome and very well thought of, even the little oxigen cans for the flame tank. keep up the awesome job guys!

R315r4z0r Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Can we have either a larger image of Sakura or just a shot of her face? I can't really see it cause it's too small. From the distance, she doesn't really look Japanese. However, the rest of the model looks excellent! I also love the rest of the assets. The APC is totally epic. Nice job there.

But then again, if this is done, then the same sort of thing would have to be made for things like loose cloths, hair, ect. Maybe it's not worth the effort then.

Kusutto Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Ah! Maybe just maybe I've been reading too much Japanese Manga or Korean Manhaw or Comics in general but Sakura looks a bit old from the angle, but either way I can't wait to see Sydney lol (I've tried to make a Sydney in 3D and failed miserably hahaha) Oh on the body curve thing ... hum if done right it will be seductive to just play the game and watching Sakura and Sydney duel out The waist line and the hip Ah~ (......) .)....( (......) hahaha that ain't right \........./ .\......./ ..).....( ./.......\ and from the side (..........| ..\......./ ...|...../ ...|....( ...|.....\ ...|......)

Jointn00b Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 lol the curves are there. the leather jacket she weares just prevents jou from seeing most of that and remember she's a merc, she's supposed to be tough and tbh i haven't seen many mercs running around in tight clothes or shorts (especially not the female ones lol). Anyways, back on topic. Definately love the update you guys! the apc really is epic. In my opinion the flame tank should have a little more black like the apc but that's up to you ofc. Rest of it looks great as always Keep it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't ask me why I noticed it if it isn't noticable . I think there are more games that might have such a feature but isn't too insane like DOA beach volleyball.Yours sincerely,Demigan.

MightyBOB Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 It'll have the little pilot flames in front of the blowers and an idle flame drip. Those are done in the editor though, not Max, hence why they aren't in the render. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R315r4z0r Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Their mod to the APC was based off of a real vehicle. They can't do the same thing for the flame tank because no such vehicle exists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
