sure man, good job on the sig. uhm, i can just copy and paste it?

after all, could you darken the model just a bit. now it's just a little too bright.

That should work.

i armed the omfghuge tank with the gun i drew on the conart, and here it is:







please comment. should i add the all the weapons i drew or would this be sufficient?

[Jok3r]

That looks pretty good.

[Mbob61]

Nice
looks awesome
Whats poly count just out of wondering?

Mike

[Camille]

5585 probably just a tad too much to be used in-game amirite?

but maybe since there is only one at a time, thats not such a big problem...

[Mbob61]

Yeah, the limit is about 600 ish
so your just a bit over
Looks good though

Mike

[Camille]

damn. no chance that i lower that number and it still looks acceptable?

[IPS]

wow nice tank
I realy like it!

[Camille]

just finished this one: some kind of uber-building-factory-bunker-missile silo all in one... i thought the most logical shape for a super fortified building would be a little like this, so no spikes coming out or not too much shizzle sticking out.

1600 entities (is that like poly's?)





next up: you tell me.

[Mbob61]

looks good.
Could make it into FC if the poly count is lowered slightly
Thats if you let us that is

[Camille]

@mbob: of course, i would love to see one of my models skinned and in-game! i'll try to lower the poly count...

[Jok3r]

I like it. The tab labeled faces is the one that counts polies. Can you and Mike go on IRC?

now something completely different: gonna get another tattoo and probly this:



what you think? bad idea? good idea?

[Camille]

finished another model: a robotic, all-purpose MBT with anti-air capability's. this tank can take on infantry with dual machine guns and attack both airbourne, ground-based vehicles and tanks with a quadruple rocket launching system on it's back. however, due ti it's versatility, it isn't as effective as specialized units until veterancy is gained. it's speed is similar to other average MBT's.







please comment thx.

one of the links doenst seem to work so here you should find it: http://s240.photobuc.../ff157/ka10000/

[Waris]

Very nice, I like the concept of that tank.

[Jok3r]

Looks a bit like a mammoth. I'm liking that. I can see it as the Antarctic MBT. How many faces?
~SLG

[Camille]

680 faces. glad you like it!

i had an idea for the antarcticans: since most power generators wouldn't work in colder environment i came up with a windmill dynamo: since antarctica is basically one large open space, using the wind as a powersource would be a pretty good idea i think. anyway the dynamo works by letting the wind blow through a huge rotor that can direct itself towards the wind (codeable?) and thus generate power by the use of magnets. (like a real dynamo really). i also thought it would be cool to make a new gameplay feature: these powerplants won't deliver much power when just build but will continue to power up until maximum output is reached. the beginning output should be lower than a nuclear reactor but the final output should be bigger then a 'control rodded' cold fusion reactor. the time to completely power up should be around three or four minutes. please share yer ideas.

+- 1500 faces







srry for typos.

[Jok3r]

Very interesting idea. We'll have to talk to kassad about codeability though...

[Camille]

small update: used a different colour-and lightscheme to display the omghugetank, it now looks much better. grey is skin, red is housecolour area.



image quality is horrible i know, anyone know how to solve that?

[Crazykenny]

Save as .PNG.

[Jok3r]

It looks nice. Save it in a different format to improve quality. Also, I think I figured out how to get your models into the game without 3ds without pro.
~SLG

[Camille]

done another one, a pretty basic tank partially based on a photo of what seems to be a merkava... (israelian?) anyway here it is.

560 poly's.

[IPS]

I have to say that one is realy nice.
IMO there are some parts at the front of the turret wich could be improved but I like the overall design
Keep it up!
