Holy shit dude.

[Dr. Knickers]

Thanks guys



Finished up the smoothing, fixed some minor details, optimized, added unseen TV missile rack underneath cockpit

and it is done at about 4.8k tris

[Dr. Knickers]

First version of the cockpit is done









I was obviously too lazy to tweak the samples for the shadow

wait, is this for a mod?

because damn that detail is killing me.

[Sgt. Rho]

Yeah, that level of Detail is the usual for BF2142. Well, this is a bit more than standard BF2142 units.

[Dr. Knickers]

It's about 1k more than the PAC gunship right now

[Kalo]

*EU Gunship.

Yeah, Pretty standard...And yet Bf2142 runs smoother on older PC's than BF2..

[Dr. Knickers]

In case anybody has played Star Wars: Empire at War and its expansion, Forces of Corruption, I've been replacing a lot of the particles used in there because the standard ones just plain suck.

Here's an example of the old explosions, which are all a single animated plane with some smoke and debris:


And now here's part of my efforts to make the game look better:




(Explosion is dying down in the shot above)

and for some slightly older pics

[Ion Cannon!]

Picture number 6 with the big explosion is very good. However picture number 3 you might want to rework. The explosion seems pretty bland. and the smoke trail from the shot down ship needs more colour variation.

[Dr. Knickers]

Thanks for the tips Insomniac! I'll be sure to take them to heart.

Here's a small render of a little something I made:


^UV hell, right there.

That's right, it's not my concept. Got a problem with that, punk?

[Camille]

those Tie-things look really cool

[☆FreedoM_FighteR☆]

yea they are =] any lack on the water thingy?

[Dr. Knickers]

Meh, sorta

I doubt it'll get any better than it is now

[☆FreedoM_FighteR☆]

i can try if you want =] it just will help me get better

[Crazykenny]

Awesome.

[Dr. Knickers]

A little something I skinned, but did not model

Edited by Dr. Nick, 30 August 2008 - 13:57.

[Crazykenny]

Thats top quality work Nick, epic

[Dr. Knickers]

Wardroid from the KotOR series. Modelled by me. Skin by me and THX1138.

[CommanderJB]

Oh now that's very nice. I take it EAW can actually support all these better-quality-than-original models and skins etc. without gameplay/speed limitations, unlike SAGE?
Also, who is the War Droid for? Republic or Sith? As they were used by both.

[Dr. Knickers]

EaW can support quite a few polies, especially when you take out the majority of vehicles. AoSW is a pretty infantry oriented mod, so the team decided to make them look better than walking boxes

The Wardroid is for both factions, available through a Czerka Arms Dealer.

[Dr. Knickers]

And here's a model that I offered to Nem, but he didn't like

[☆FreedoM_FighteR☆]

wahaha really impressive work m8 lots of details i likey =] keep them coming !

[Warbz]

The area in front of the cockpit is a bit flat, but other than that it's amazing. What's not to like?
