ZeroDictator Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 The model looks great! I do like the extra width mostly it seems to give the model a nice touch. Firstly the extra width looked strange from the front view but now it looks fitting. Keep up the good work! I can't wait what awesome models you bring us next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoundShades Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I hope he is doing as good or better than I. I like this idea. I am working on something and can understand how working on something that is relatively new to you can take time, but I hope the voxel translations give him something to mount as a vehicle model first, and then he can worry about their ingame script later.

Ska-Ara Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 So.. whats up? it's been a month, how are you doing? yea still living and alive. i tried some stuff at this time to expand my texture skills but im horribly failed the most tuts in the internet just shows texturing simply models.. i found none which explains how to make a map of a fully tank or something similar i think i take the texturing to the very end after i made all models.. maybe i find someone who can help me. next week i try to show some new vehicles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Arts Staff Handepsilon Posted June 26, 2015 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted June 26, 2015 I guess it's just a matter of photoshopping. Maybe put some metal texture overlay or such like that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska-Ara Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 I guess it's just a matter of photoshopping. Maybe put some metal texture overlay or such like that... make "color" and "details " on the map itself is not the problem. to make this make is the problem. i can easly unwrap a cube.. but to unwrap a tank with all his details.. thats very hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruud033 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 You're completely missing the whole point there! You unwrap a boring version, then AFTERwards you polish that diffuse map with photoshop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Arts Staff Handepsilon Posted June 26, 2015 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted June 26, 2015 uh well... unwrapping takes patience. In my past experience I textured the high poly version as good as possible without unwrapping it (you're not even gonna put it in-game anyways. Then I project the texture AND the poly detail with the unwrapped low-poly version to form the normal and diffuse map. Projection are not always that easy due to all those raycheck misses, but you're gonna need it for the normal map anyways so make it as great as possible What's the poly count of your tank btw?

Ska-Ara Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 You're completely missing the whole point there! You unwrap a boring version, then AFTERwards you polish that diffuse map with photoshop! thats true. but WHEN im photoshopping a map.. it should be look like something usefull. f.e. if i just take automaticly unwrap und do a flatten mode. it would look ugly... something similar to this google pic https://optimisticpainter.files.wordpre ... our_uv.jpg but to work good in photoshop it would need something more tiny up like this http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/cnc ... 0502100624 uh well... unwrapping takes patience.

Projection are not always that easy due to all those raycheck misses, but you're gonna need it for the normal map anyways so make it as great as possibleWhat's the poly count of your tank btw? and thats another matter.. im not that skilled that i can make for every model a high and a low poly version. you guys dont need to expect that my mod will look like the renx qualitiy. thats not MY goal und more less my skill level. i want to make a game where u can play and feel RA2 like. and in my opionion the ppl will love to drive a gryzz tank even its not looking like a "game dev skill" vehicle ^^ so in this kind my model has now about 3k polys.. and the finished one will have about 5k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Arts Staff Handepsilon Posted June 27, 2015 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted June 27, 2015 3k seems alright for the game, Although if it's all boxy you can optimize more to 1000, I believe. I think you can unwrap and stitch it piece by piece, as comfortable-looking as you can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alkaline! Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Is this going to be a new mode or are these going to be new maps that can be played in the regular game. It would be great if they were just maps, this way they can be added to the regular rotation and we can have a mix or renegade and red alert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska-Ara Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 hey guys one question. i extracted the ifv from the ra 2 datas.. theres about 14 different waepons for the vehicle.. most of them are experimental.. a drill.. a tower.. a dont know.. lots of unsable stuff.. but there is a gun.. did u guys ever see this ingame?

After the Allied Vehicles i start to make soviet vehicles . After that i try to make them all usable for the game. So it could be easier to play them alone as with the complete mod i think for the most ppl its a good solution to try my mod and try some good old ra 2 vehicles maybe i find someone who want to make a ra 2 map for me Those IFV tanks look awesome!

Totem Arts Staff Handepsilon Posted July 14, 2015 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted July 14, 2015 Make sure the model is properly prepared for him. Name your bones properly and without spaces. like this. b_root b_gun b_turret b_muzzleflashsocket b_wheel etc. Also, how will the weapon morph and switch to default rocket turrets?

You had to change some variables in the Rules.ini file if you wanted to purchase them, and possibly import them into a map if you wished to play it with the changes online. I remember making a lot of maps for Red alert 2... Including the modding, considering how incredibly easy it was... ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska-Ara Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 back to topic dudes Make sure the model is properly prepared for him. Name your bones properly and without spaces. like this. b_root b_gun b_turret b_muzzleflashsocket b_wheel after the modelling i will prepare all the vehicles like shown in the havock videos. Also, how will the weapon morph and switch to default rocket turrets? i dont have any idea of unrealscripting. but i think there could be a possibility to "switch" a vehicle after an trigger is used. f.e. G.i goes into ivf>G.i is driver trigger pulls>command: change modell of the ivf to Gunner one> vehicle changes my progress so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But anyway, mirage tank is looking good so far! It will be interesting to see how the "tree planting" will work. In that regard, the tree mechanic is neat and all, but functionality wise it might be best to incorporate stealth-effect to it instead of tree-model. That way, it isn't map dependent or very awkward... Obviously stealth effect linked to movement, it unstealths when moving and stealths when standing still.

Ska-Ara Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 So heres the Finished Prism Tank And for better Oversee here the other 3 Main Vahicles for the Allied Army. At this moment i wanted to make the Soviet vehicles. but cuz the big expactation of this mod. i try to bring these 4 vehicles into the game. So the first step is texturing them.. afther that bring then into renx as the start they should be scriptable or i crates for costum/test servers^^ wish me luck dudes note: the first site has some reworked ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Arts Staff Handepsilon Posted August 15, 2015 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted August 15, 2015 I'd say your pal should try to tackle the scripting first if your untextured tanks are already rigged (Hopefully you're not dumb enough to weld the turrets with the main body ) think of it as prototyping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hm shark Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 @ska-ra I think i remember that u said that texturing will be a problem. if u sculpt some details into the tanks, then the texturing will be much easier. The details can be dents and scratches for example. look up real life tanks online and u can see how the metal should look like or when playing renegade x, just stare at each tank for 10 min and see how the details were sculpted and how the textures are. im sure u can also extract the textures of the tanks in renegade x to examine them. Edit: oh and dont forget, in renegade x, the texture changes when the vehicle gets more damaged. hehe more texturing work for u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
