Well what more is too say,
Btw its all hand made Very Happy

I also h8 the normals so i didnt put it in game, (it has some slanted faces so autnormals F's it up)
also that stupid way RA2 draws voxels over each other just makes the legs look weird, the animation looks fine in editor but ingame only one leg moves and it goes to fast, i tried making it 26 with copy/paste but it still moves too fast and 1 leg doesnt work

p.s. tell me where i should host my images cause Image Shack is shit.

Use the autonormals. Add more detail. IS IT ALL REMAP?

Heh, looks nice for a start. Also don't use jpgs, use png instead #Tongue

.
Anyways I feel that you should rename the "(DoW)" part to "(WH40K)", as I'm quite sure that more people know what Warhammer 40k is, than what Dawn of War is.

Actually DoW is pretty well known too. No need to.

The thing is ALL remap? :/

Auto normals is what i used, but i get wierd black lines on all the jaggies
and i have an idea im not sure if it will work? for a melee animation im gonna make the turret have the same system as the prism tank, (thats why arms arent on turret) there gonna be sections then im gonna make JUGDtur01.VXL,JUGDtur02.VXL ect. will it look good or screwed up?

Don't use Tangent Plane autonormals it doesn't work properly. Use Cube Autonormals V 5.6, and if Dupl3xx was here he would give you some good useful tips

AN 5.6

two boxes in bottom left (smooth & contrast I think)
top box 15
bottom box 5
tick "smooth my normals"
start it and wait...
It takes a while but it's good!

I figured out the cube thing already but ill try what Lt. said
(it wont take a while on my brand new comp Very Happy

)

Yeah, if it doesn't work wait for dupl3xxx to turn up and explain it in full.

And it doesn't take that long even on my bought off a mate for £65 1GB ram single core 3.2ghz Processor pc, inless I'm doing a huge aircraft carrier like the one in my mod...

LoL @ Hand-made

Looks more like a 3d-model-to-voxel conversion to me to be honest.

it's.... big! o.O

Autonormals?

AN 5.6
Range: 1.7 -> 2.2 (try the different ones.)
Smooth on
Smoothlevel=15 (this is three times bigger than con.level.)
Contrastlevel=5 (like 3-9, 4-12, 5-15, 6-18 and so on)
