Hover APC
I have made this recolour to use this vehicle
in TS for the GDI!
I hope you all like it!?
P.S. I have also made a cameo for this

Na, I dont like this Hassan, IMO all that black just dosent fit with everything else. Sorry. I like some of your other stuff, but this one needs more work. But thats just me.
Try a lighter shade of black. _________________

Umm... Not to sound contrary, but I think it actually looks quite decent. Reminds me very much of the Renegade look, to be honest.
I assume the yellow areas in the screenshot are in fact remap areas? Instead of making the whole vehicle remap, make only some of the areas remap - for example, the side parts of the hull between the hover cushions and the main fuselage in the middle - and then make the main fuselage a slightly darker shade of yellow (look at the colour of the Titan as example).
As for the hover cushions, try alternating the segment colour - instead of having a series of black segments separated by white lines, have a series of alternating black and dark grey segments. You might also try making all the segments dark grey too, just to see how it looks - the pure black at the moment absorbs too much light.
Another alternative would be to add dark grey horisontal lines to each segment, so that it creates an alternating black/grey/black/grey/... pattern from top to bottom. This might prevent the simple black from being too overwhelming. _________________ Adapt or die QUICK_EDIT

Not the whole vehicle is a remap!
The remap is just on the side and the rest is really yellow!
And it reminds you of Renegade, because thats the
way I wanted it to look like!
But you all are right that the colours need some improvement!

Ah, excellent. Still - darker yellow. Try using the shade of yellow that the Wolverine has on its chest in the screenshot above. Either that, or darken the normals alot - not sure how to do that, so I'd advise the recolouring of the voxels themselves. _________________ Adapt or die QUICK_EDIT

Here comes the second version.
I have made it darker and I have used another
colour for the back instead of the black!

Honestly, there are a billion times better voxels out there and you dare call this excellent? The Allied hovercraft voxel was already hideous in its own right and this guy has managed to make it worse. I know you're just starting, but there's no point in uploading these as I'm sure no one will use them. Keep learning, look at other people's work (what colours to use, how to add normals etc.) and some day you just might make voxels worth it. _________________ QUICK_EDIT

@ Crimsonum:
My "Ah, excellent" was referring to the fact that despite being a recolour and despite being slightly too bright, in the first screenshot the voxel actually fits in pretty well with all the other GDI units. ESPECIALLY if you consider it is an RA2 recolour. Being anal about his obvious newbie status is not helping anyone. _________________ Adapt or die QUICK_EDIT

Far from "being anal". No, it doesn't fit pretty well with the other units. Well, maybe with the hideously bright Engineer. Using bright yellow and black together couldn't look worse.
The body needs to be a lot darker. Instead of using colours from the yellow bar, the brown1 and 2 colours (right next to the yellow bar) are best for a GDI scheme. If you want to make it look more like the Renegade Hovercraft, you need to start it from scratch. The RA2 hovercraft looks nothing like it. _________________ QUICK_EDIT

You didn´t get it anyway Crimsonum!
I don´t want to build a Renegade Hovercraft,
I only want to make a GDI version of the Allied-
Hovercraft with a colourscheme like from Renegade!!!!!
Nothing else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So please give me a tip for this OK!? _________________ If you are a member of the NSA and you are reading this, then you should know, that too much curiosity killed the cat!!!

Crimsonum isn't being harsh, he's just telling the truth. Would you rather someone said a load of bullshit about your work rather than truthful comments so you can actually improve? QUICK_EDIT

Idk if you were speaking to me, but while yes Crimsonum is telling the truth, giving a simple example of what he means would go a long way in showing Hassan what he means, which makes it more constructive. Atleast IMO.
I'll give an example within 30 mins - 1hr QUICK_EDIT
Here you go, cant be bothered to check ingame so you can have a look, but should be better.
It's only a quick job but should show how a few tones darker or lighter can look better, and never use black it looks awful in the game.
Could someone get it ingame and show me how it looks
actually if I worked on the normals itd probably improve it more. As I said a quick job, and the colour fit reasonably well imo (tho the exact shades are upto the person), as I said its about showing how mixing the shades can highlight parts without bad contrasts and not to use black. QUICK_EDIT

Haha , you got it wrong . Yeah , criticism is important , but he doesn't have to say "The Allied hovercraft voxel was already hideous in its own right and this guy has managed to make it worse" it's really demotivating him you know , You can just say : It's a nice try , but I think it's poorly done :/ QUICK_EDIT
Why do people always leave out the rest of the quote? I'm just saying that if people don't listen to comments like these from people whom are better than they are then how are people going to get better? QUICK_EDIT
Thats what I wanted all the time, thanks a lot

That too can be interpretated as demotivating. I said how things were. No need to add flowers and smileys when the message has been delivered simple and short. Yes, maybe I could've put it more politely, but I guess the above posts got on my nerves too much. _________________ QUICK_EDIT

There you go! That's already looking much nicer, but the blue scheme on the turbines doesn't look very good with the gold. Change their color to gold like the rest of the boat, black to match the rubber base or silver so they still stand out but don't look bad with the rest of the voxel. QUICK_EDIT

Could also do with a slight downscaling. QUICK_EDIT

AAAAAAH
you guy's don't know that doing voxel's is a shit hard work,what hassan dosen't know is that you can easily change the texture or use the colour scheme script to change the allied--> yellow or brick or something like that.
Recolours are all well and good, and allow new voxelists to become accustomed to VXLSE.
On the other hand, they aren't particularly imaginative.
It is my opinion that to become a better voxelist, it is paramount that you learn:
-how to reason in 3 dimensions
-to understand how voxels will look ingame without constantly having to check
-creativity to the point of insanity
Without these three things; Skill, Understanding, Creativity, you cannot become a reasonable voxel artist.
Also, Dark Templar X and Aro's comments are correct, and our guest Apecolar is a moron. QUICK_EDIT
The hovercrafts from the last pic seems too dark for me,it's more a building color than an unit color (but since there are no units/buildings near in the latest pics to check,maybe I'm wrong) QUICK_EDIT

That is my problem, I really don´t know which colour
to choose for them!
What do you think of brown to set a highlight on the
turbines!? _________________ If you are a member of the NSA and you are reading this, then you should know, that too much curiosity killed the cat!!!

Just choose a few shades below, like I did with the examples I uploaded, download it and see how many shades difference there is and compare and try it out. QUICK_EDIT
