MBT808 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) currently working on a new vehicle for the game and a first project for me for renegade-x. I'm currently working on the venerable GDI guardian apc that appeared in Tiberium Wars/Kanes Wrath. Post will get updated as the model further progresses(texturing is pretty basic, I'm not a texture artist). Any feedback is appreciated. Update: Model is finished, now just under going some adjustments and clean up(reducing unseen poly's to help with performance). Rigging is underway and hopefully testing can occur soon. If there is a server that would volunteer as a test bed, I would appreciate it. Also looking for someone with experience as a textures artist to complete the model. If all goes well, work on the next model(a nod vehicle) will commence as soon as the Guardian APC is fully done. Update(2): Sorry if there has been a lack of updates over the past week or so, I too a break from modelling for a bit and started work on the rigging lately, but I've become stuck on two small issues involving the front suspension arms and setting up the rigging for the ventilator rotor's. I'm currently waiting on a response from Havoc89 in regards to the rigging. Still looking for a texture artist in the mean time, hopefully I can find someone. Update(3): working on improving the model some more, adding a few more bits and peices here and there to add some more detail to the model. new screens will be posted. rigging is underway, its slow but unfortunately I'm having to learn new functions within 3ds 2017 and to rig some stuff that isn't covered in the tutorial. thanks for being patient. I will hopefully have something to show within the next week with the updated model, rigging is uncertain. still looking for someone who can do textures, if you know someone or can help in that regard, let me know.

I hope we see the finished product. well, I'm hoping to get a whole range of vehicles from tib wars into Ren-X, that includes(hopefully) the avatar and the Juggernaut MK.III(those will be last after the main vehicle equivalents of renegade-X). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, thats why its at the very bottom of the list of things to do for me. I'm only considering it cause the titan/wolverine are in the game so its possible but might have to ask Havoc89 about it.

A friend of mine actually joked that I should try and put the redeemer into Renegade-X, imagine how much a problem scaling that would be.

I could imagine the head of an avatar would be the part which reaches that bit taller than the Titan. Scorpian Tanks... Meh... I'd say the Venom would be more interesting as a replacement for the Apache. 5 second beam that does 12 damage per second with a fire-rate of 4.5 seconds. Heck, that'd be a great Apache replacement. More importantly, don't worry too much about the texture for this Guardian APC model. I'm sure many are eager to see the finished model.

Totem Arts Staff Luhrian Posted February 8, 2017 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) Is it possible to shoot from inside to the outside? Just for example, I am a LCG and I go inside the APC can I shoot to the outside with my LCG? But good work so far Edited February 8, 2017 by Luhrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But good work so far the Guardian APC could do that in Tib wars, but as far as renegade-x, the mechanic would probably(I don't know exactly) have to be built from the ground up or added by the devs. thanks, it just needs its gun/wheels and to be rigged then it should be good to go to be tested in game. If all goes well, there will be more tib wars vehicles to come. Edited February 9, 2017 by MBT808 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IllumZar Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 The model looks really sweet! Do you remember TCW (TiberiumCrystalWar)? it was a mod for the original renegade with cnc3 units and buildings. Maybe you can contact @zunnie he was one of the developers of that mod. He could give you a hint or two Keep up the good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen it but I've never played it myself. since it is the original renegade, I'm not sure how that would help with this project(considering Ren-X runs on an entirely different engine). thanks for the support, hoping to get finished soon and move on to the next model.

lupotre Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) The model is really beatuful, you made a great work!

With the side triangle, I threw a vent there for some additional detail. The wheels were a bit plain on the tib wars models so I added an additional price for some more details. As far as the forward wheel covers are concerned, they don't provide enough space for the wheels to travel. On the inner peice I don't know if your referring to those three bolts, they will be textured on. on a side note, I did think of potentially doing an MRT and AP ammo APC as maybe crate vehicles if the base guardian apc works out.

Totem Arts Staff Madkill40 Posted March 23, 2017 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted March 23, 2017 Will the gun need to be taller to avoid bullets having to clip through the vehicle if a unit stands right next the APC at a point furthest from this APC's weapon? Or can we just not care about this minor detail and happily tell narkys to eeF'off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gliven Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 what the British man is trying to ask. Will you put the gun higher up on the apc, in order to be able to shoot infantry right up against the apc? If you are able to shoot at infantry in your face, will the bullets shoot through the apc body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Arts Staff Madkill40 Posted March 25, 2017 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted March 25, 2017 Considering the current APC, I don't think many will care, so do feel free to gloss other my question and the better put, reiterated question by Gliven.

Unfortunately you can't see tons on the model, but I'm doing some tweaking to the model right now so there could be some adjustments to its elevation and depression. However, the gun being off to the left side will make it harder to combat infantry on the right, but this will be compensated I hope by having high damage/rate of fire so making it unwise to attempt to get too close.

MBT808 Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 I would like to apologize for the delay in updates/progress, I been busy with Real life matters and haven't had much time to work on the model lately or progress further on the model. I have managed to find some more time to work on the model and am trying to get more work done on it. in the mean time, here is a small update involving improvements thus far to the main gun(still unfinished, will try and update as soon as I'm able). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
