[B]Veyron Posted October 14, 2017 Author Share Posted October 14, 2017 my question to you is could I retrace/remake the geometry over the old model as to re-create the entire model? or would these models do just fine? these are static meshes fyi even though they came with skeletons and a bunch of other stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Arts Staff TK0104 Posted October 14, 2017 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted October 14, 2017 I recommend not doing that. I think we don't have the rights to use C&C3 assets for RenX. I recommend making them by yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of just re-tracing over the current models as to entirely remake the models from scratch but kinda cheat because I already have the models. but yes keep it on the downlow if I decide to use these current models. but really thanks havoc!

You can double click the texture and set the detail mode of the texture. Default is medium. I don't think you can't really optimize it further. It's probably 512x512 or 256x256, which is nice detailed when you see the units from above and from a distance, but it'll be low quality when you come too close Maybe photoshop has a filter to make the image more high quality Also make multiple maps for it. You got a diffuse, but a normal, specular and an emissive can make it more detailed aswell Edited October 18, 2017 by TK0104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[B]Veyron Posted October 21, 2017 Author Share Posted October 21, 2017 and this is what I've been able to come up with for scaling purposes. when I merge the files together the scales are already set as per the game I mean there's no need to adjust the scale. I imported the med tank and havoc and adjusted them to scale the C&C3 models to see if it'll fit. let me know what you think obvs it is a very small tank. the other photo is on lakeside in the air with nod soldier standing next to gdi commando. the predator is also the basic version which I thought would be cool to acquire the railgun upgrade in elite and the heroic would be the red ion beam instead of the blue.

[B]Veyron Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) apologies. progress is slow. I have come across some other models in the mean time (profile pic) atm I am trying to rig the predator tank by following havoc89s vehicle tut. I am making progress though. EDIT: due to my lack of knowledge of 3ds max is why things have been slow. mesh has been stretched, textures distorted, things gone fucky, but now things are good. I have successfully attached the bone hierarchy system to the tank and all its parts which is where I was fuckin' up b4.

[B]Veyron Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 UPDATE: I now have access to everything from C&C3 and theoretically everything from Kanes Wrath(if I had it) Red Alert 3 (I have it) and some other games made in the same time frame as C&C3. textures(landscape, units, buildings, etc), sounds(units, explosions, main menu, videos, everything audio, bird calls, dogs barking, radio chatter, EVERYTHING), animations, models, music, not sure what else there is because there is a bunch of other files I haven't gone through. HOWEVER I cannot convert the models due to filetype difference I do not know how to convert W3X engine type model data into data I can use elsewhere. That being said through my adventure I have also landed a whole of Tiberian Sun models NOT from Tiberian Sun Reborn. I have also landed a massive Iowa class battlecruiser much like I wanted to do for my very first map for here. NOTE: I did not make any of these lol. but the purpose is/was to bring them into another environment and see how they look. I will post pictures later because I want everyone to see these.
