Cement Mixer

Hmmmmm.....

This was a total b@#^% to do. Trying to get the "Drum" to look cylindrical almost did my head in and after more than a few attempts I settled on this version.
I'm contemplating adding some type of stripe to the drum to give it a bit of detail but I have another unit to do for Vefbl4 first.

If anyone thinks they can improve the look of the drum, please feel free to update it.

Cement Mixer - Voxel Size 27 x 35 x 73

Looks great.

Whoa, high-class and high detail. Very impressive, to say the least.

I can't wait to see what you churn out next! (HAHA, punishing)

The drum seems awfully bright... but that might just be RA2's goofy ass lighting.

Seems a bit large for TS. I'd suggest using voxel bounds and bump it down by about 25%.

@Edge

Thx for kind comment and the in-game. I hope to have my RA/TS up and running this weekend so I can post in-games of future units.

@Atari2600

Thank you for the high praise.
As for the next unit ... I need time to recover from making that drum before I start another unit lol Smile

@High Templar
I was worried the drum might be to bright but without being able to test in-game I took a chance.
Would you suggest darkening it a few shades ?

@m7

I was thinking about posting suggested voxel X-Y-Z bounds for both RA2 and TS when I upload new units. Do you think that would be a good idea ?

Probably might not be too bad of an idea. It would go to show you have a lot more interest in what you do than most do.

I'm not much of a voxel editor, but that would work. It might also be the normals as well, which controls the lighting on the various facings.

I've only been voxeling ( is that a word ? ) for about 4 weeks and I'm sure I have alot to learn but I thought if I'm going to upload units for members to use I should make the units the best I can and try make it a little easier for those who don't know how to create units by suggesting the voxel bounds.

I'm always open to suggestions as most members here know a helluva lot more than I do about most things.
I do however think some people, who have been creating voxels, animations and modding for a long time, forget how daunting it can be trying to do things for the first time when you have no idea what your doing or how to do it Wink

@High Templar

I'll make some changes once I can test in-game and if the changes work I'll update the Image and Zip file accordingly.

gave it a SSTG touch for DR (been thinking of adding a whole new setup for civilans including an private armies more construction,cars etc not sure how yellow will look yet so I dunno how it will look ingame I like the look of this voxel overall

The drum looks excelent. How did you manage to get it looking so smooth ?

I changed the normals to RA2 using the auto normals set to 2 using vxlse 1.36 you gotta go to voxel header and changed the normals to 4 usually I set it to 2 when I autonormal with most of my voxels should start looking more round after that I'm tempted to change the stripes to a diagonally though
