Some of you may remember me as the former mod leader of World Rebellion, that ended in late 2005.
I still wanted to mod after that, but I didnt have the time then, exams got in the way more then most.
But exams are over, and I have a lot of spare time now.

I'm not disclosing too much about Dawn of War, but I will post some media in the community till such time that the mod can get underway properly.
Below is the Black Market, it will be the main ground vehicle producing facility (but not the only one) for the ECON faction (Eastern Coalition).

The Black Market won't be the actual place where the vehicle is build, a new unit will come from an underground tunnel, the Black Market is just where you purchase the unit.



You'll be able to see through the hole in ceiling and those in the walls in the game and actually see into the building itself, where you'll be able to see some stuff as well.



Not everything is known about the formats C&C 3 will use, but I'm sticking to global formats for now, so I can switch to the correct formats when they are known. (not DDS and W3D to start with )

Yay, looks good

Good luck with your mod

[Mathias]

Haha, looks like it could come straight out of the newest Medal of Honor game. I'm immensively impressed. I wonder what more you have in store for us in the coming months.

[Sic]

That model is just awesome, let alone the skin. Very nice job, I bet that took a lot of effort. I hope you best of luck with the mod.

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

that is a sweet model and skin you got there, very nice

[Comr4de]

Awsome work there Thierry, love the amount of detail in the textures

[Athena]

I fully agree, good luck and nice model .

[Thez]

I'll make some more media stuff first (to get a good start) and then its off to find some hosting and anyone willing to help me out with the mod.

[Stinger]

Thierry, post the top down view close up you sent me to give people an idea of just how much detail you've gone to.

Should satisfy all those people out there who like "realistic" looking skins.

[Thez]

Why not then

Normal rending doesnt show the interior properly, so a spotlight and close up is used.
Inside the building are some fuel barrels, ammo crates, a table with a radio set and some papers on it and a metal box.



Ingame you should be able to see straight into it with no problems.

[Thez]

Ok a better inside render, keep in mind that this building will be far smaller then this when you build it on the map:

*jaw drops*

Impressive.

[Sgt. Nuker]

When you go whole hog, you take the farm too. That is incredible Thierry, just incredible. A very fine job.


My best,

Nuker

[Thez]

Glad you all like it
Also, as said, anyone up for helping me with the mod is most welcome (provided you got some experience in your field of work).

No worries about the website when the mod gets going, I'm a webdesigner myself (aint it great ):

Here is an early WIP of the site:

[Alias]

That model is Godly. The skin works perfectly with it. You are awesome.

[Futschki]

It's Really Great Especially The Skin ... it's Awesome IMPRESSIVE

[Sgt. Rho]

The skin looks simple, but realy good at once, GOOD WORK ON THE SKIN!!!

[Golan]

Nice model and texure. Great work.
Do you use any normal/specular maps?

Somehow I can´t stop waiting for some terrors and counters running trough this scene. :dance:

ROFL. Seconded.

Here is an update for you guys, the model of the ECON's Technical (starting version) is done.

The Technical will be the fastest and cheapest vehicle around, costing only 300 and the ability to carry a single passenger.
The rear trunk is supposed to be empty, anything in it would slow the Technical down.
You can upgrade any Technical individually to a Transport Technical, closing the back with some light armor and adding a machinegun for defense.
It will be able carry an additional four passengers, to a maximum of five, but it will lose some speed due to the weight:

Very great detail. How many polies does it have? I also like the idea of the garrison ability.

Conclusion : Very nice

Edited by Sic, 09 March 2007 - 17:41.

[Thez]

It has 1200 polys, so its well within the limits.

The upgrade for a Transport Technical will cost 300 and ofcourse it isnt instant.
Do note its a Technical, not a tank, so it cant take much of a beating XD

Is this mod not using C&C 3 Squad system?

[Thez]

Squads come in various sizes, a sniper will be a loner for example.

[Sgt. Nuker]

Very cool mate. I wouldn't want that truck for an everyday vehicle, but it's good for battle. That is most definately a stunning model.


My best,

Nuker
