Question: what is the best way to make vehicles?

Shadow Hunter

Hi again, thoses days i was trying to make vehicle and all but all of they looks very small in-game even if i put a high number (like of a basic tank) but in 3d model, they look better and all but then comes the question: it is better made a vehicle using voxel editor or a 3d model?

Depends which your prefer and which you can do better. I dont believe one is always better than the other.

I think 3d models have better normals, but using a voxel editor you can make more detailed vehicles.

I don't see how differences in these methods determines quality of normals...

Many people like to export from 3d and then add details in the voxel editor.

I prefer the Voxel Editor, but that's only because many techniques I have now turned into instinct.

Even if you have 3d model, you can have converted voxel with screwed normals, I know it (like on my old Raser Turret). Also you have to solve the "black dots syndrome".

Making units directly in the voxel editor is the fastest way for me.
