RA2 Infantry Creation Package!
Subject description: Create good infantry quickly with 3ds max!
For those who are tired of Red Alert 3 news and want more old school coverage, here's something interesting. Few days ago, raminator has posted a package that helps you to create good looking Red Alert 2 infantry with 3ds max. Check out CnC.Raminator.De to download it.
But you might be wondering how does it work, right? It is not very simple and it demands patience and, perharps, if you are old enough for your country, some beer will be useful. The package comes with several .max files of the same infantry in different situations (walk, idle, fire, etc). You basically need to get your own texture for it, take up to 365 shots of it in different angles and actions and use the .bat files to get them arranged to be imported on OS SHP Builder. Then, there are few more tricks on the OS SHP Builder until you get a shiny new infantry like the one above. Everything is explained in the readme file that comes with it, so, don't worry.
You can also use this infantry creation package to make infantry for Tiberian Sun, Red Alert 1 or even Tiberian Dawn, although you'll need to use a different size for your infantry.
Of course, our SHP Archive welcomes any submission that derives from it. If your work is good enough, we might spotlight it. Have fun! QUICK_EDIT
This will be the spawn of many a "re-textured" infantry unit. A new kind of SHP Forum plague. First it was "re-colours" now "re-textures". What's next... QUICK_EDIT
But if they get to that point, then there can't be an easy way, no "infantry for dummies" package. They'd be creating something new...finally... QUICK_EDIT
took it down coz my bandwithlimit is nearly reached...will be up in a few days again _________________ just a simple logo by bricks @ raminator, on Flickr QUICK_EDIT
