okay.. first off it's spelled defenSe.. with an S!

and stop adding "lol" to every post.

The concept is horrible. I'm not being mean, but if anyone wanted a tower defense they'd just get it from Tiberian Dawn. I've already posted on the landing tower in your previous topic.

Here are ways to improve:
-Start by taking bits and pieces of the existing TS structures and making new buildings from them.
-Look at how existing military structures are built.
-Textures, son! TEXTURES!

"IMA CHARGEN T3H N00B4 CAN0N!"

1)Use punctuations - it's otherwise hard to read
2)Be creative - but remember - we don't care if you made something - we only care if you made something good!(That follows all members)
3)ChikenHead is quiet creative person - he is a chicken ya know
4)Don't say what forums suck
5)be a noob - but do follow instructions...

By the way daTS defence is the standard English term and defense is the standard USA term both are acceptable, especially if his first langauge is not English...

By the I can only suggest looking at daTS post and please try and be a bit more formal or serious in your post with decent punctuation or no one will take you seriously.

sorry to all of you but I have to retort to this one.

First off, I"m not beating you up. I even gave you ways to improve. Learn to use those ways effectively. Secondly, accusing other, more respected members of the community of lack of creativeness isn't the most brilliant idea.

Did you say I have no creativeness?

Let me prove you wrong.

My spotlighted voxel, the Sarajevo

My Pyramid of Nod (spotlighted on TiberiumWeb.com)

and I do much more than just those. I do a large amount of graphics for a living. I design web graphics. See the signature under my post? I designed it. It's not the wisest idea to accuse someone of lack of creativity unless you do your research first. My suggestions are this: Take the criticism you get and turn it into inspiration to do better! You think i was any good when I started? Nope. First voxel I ever made was a "kodiak" that looked something like a deformed penis. Just take what people say when they criticize you as our way of trying to help you.

"I do this, I do that" [/boast]

Maybe I'm just under-self-absorbed (though that is a bit of a contradicting thing to say) but is everyone giving themselves a little too much credit and behaving like "Hah, I'm leeter than you apparently, so you suck" attitude today?

I mean jeez, give him a break, hes new so it's not like he's even seen anything you may have done previously.

@ The SHP: Better but maybe a little too sharp, looks very pixelish. Try maybe blurring it ever so slightly. Also, show and in game, or in game simulation.

Its just a base model, I call it the NOD Cannon Emplacement, now its just a concept not even close to being done but its start. What i was going for this time was the look, i was trying to make it look more 3d with a shadow look so tell me what you think. Ohh and the color, dont mind that, it was eaiser for me to make it with the color to show that its more for NOD

that's better

OVERKILL · Cyborg Engineer **Joined**: 21 Feb 2007

Well the model is staying the same iam gonn grey scale it and remap the colors later but i wanna know if anybody can give me suggestions? it would help, i was actually thinking about adding another cannon to it and i was think of making like a rapid fire anti tank gun, iam most likely gonna have to make the base of the cannon bigger so it wont look lopsided lol

better but still needs work.

notes:

1.) study lighting effects. light should be emanating from some direction, look at TS buildings to know where this source should come from (normally it's north west)

2.) if you don't know how to make 3d stuff yet, then I suggest you make frameworks first, then put in the basic colors (with lighting included), texturize (with photoshop), touch it up to refine details, then transform into SHP.

:EDIT:

here, I made something in paint very quickly to give you an idea... MS Paint can be very useful... trust me Smile

sorry if it's crude... it's just a quick job.. and the lighting on the roof is actually wrong #Tongue

Nice beginning)))

If you will add "lol" to tread names next time you will be destroyed by powerful energy impulse from space.

Sorry, but is this a good thing to do? iam making the turret seperate from the base and making the turret a voxel that way itll save me time and i dont have to go threw the hassle of making 30 + frames ya know

daTS · Posted: Tue Feb 27, 2007 10:53 pm Post subject:

actually that's what most turrets (for units) are.. It would be much better to use voxels, but you do lose a bit of the ability to detail it.

how can i go about making one as a voxel? like what should i use?

IVI · Commander **Joined**: 25 Jun 2006 **Location**: Feilubin

download PPMsite.com's finest service: the Voxel Section Editor III. Very Happy

you can make primitive 3d objects with it.

It's very easy to use, most people learn how to use it within 10 minutes; it's just like using Lego™.

You can do all sorts of stuff with it, most notably vehicles, turrets, mechs and even buildings.

i have just downloaded it thank you very much for telling me the program that i needed, ive fooled around with it a lil bit but can i creater my own from scratch or can i just modify my own, if you guy can show me on this site were i can get a quick tutorial that would be great. i know how to open voxel file and such with the xcc mixer so i am good their? but 1 question can i make the pictures a little bit more clear i mean everything is zoomed up to the screen lol thanks again guys

OVERKILL · Cyborg Engineer **Joined**: 21 Feb 2007

its no where near great, its a start, iam still getting use to the programs, but i wanted to thank everyone busting my ass, it kinda boosted me a little bit

Not to bust your chops...(who the heck says that anymore, I mean really! I must be really old. Laughing

)
But...thats gonna take a very long time to make it look like that. Especially in Voxel Section Editor.

But for first time with program, thats not bad.

i know i can never make the turret look like that but similar to it

To get to that level, you'll need to learn 3D. I suggest getting Blender or 3dsmax. Good luck.
