I like it. Very well built Not trying to nag, but the remap around the outside (the prism shaped things) is too bright. I suggest finding a grey shape and then using the red as a blending option (in photoshop "color" works best) that way it doesn't look so bright.. _________________ "Reality is a lovely place, but I wouldn't want to live there." -Adam Young QUICK_EDIT

Thanks daTS, I'll take a look at doing that tomorrow. Generally what I do is desaturate the part, darken it, change the color balance on midtones and highlights to red, and then resaturate it. Works pretty well. _________________ PreRA2 Dev Lead QUICK_EDIT

using the color option keeps the grain and different levels the same, just changes the hue. I try to use it as much as possible. _________________ "Reality is a lovely place, but I wouldn't want to live there." -Adam Young QUICK_EDIT
looks almost like a perfect replica, nice work! SE side looks a bit bright on the center, maybe could use less white, more brick (template allowing).

Now it just needs an animation of the 4 pipes retracting, and the central piece lifting into space

The band of remap around the tower cold use a little work, but the rest looks truly great.
I agree with this. Otherwise, it looks great so far. it would be an understatement to say the completion of this structure shp has been needed for a long time. QUICK_EDIT

Re: I felt this deserved its own thread.
Hot damn, that's nice.
Would be nice as a special mission-only building for some SP campaign, protect/destroy this building.
You seem to have missed a pipe on the base tho, and the remap parts in the middle of the tower aren't quite shaped right, too curved inwards on your remake.
Are you going to use it in PreRA2 along with the pre-release Nuclear Reactor? They are from different stages and have different domes. Or are you going to update the dome of either of those? _________________ mentalomega.com QUICK_EDIT
We can easily change the Dome to the grey dome if we wanted to, and yes all this work shown off in the threads will be in PreRA2.
NOTE: This mod's goal is to recreate ANY stage of Red Alert 2's development and include as much pre-release material as possible into it.
Not true at all. I'm trying to recreate the version seen in the early early screenshots, but filling in the holes with content from later in development so as to produce a finished game.
Not true at all. I'm not trying to recreate as much prerelease content as possible, I'm trying to create a fun and balanced mod based on the original alphas. However, much information is missing about that stage so my role is to do my best to fill in the holes and create, in the end, a fun, original and enduring mod.
My chief goal is to create a fun and playable and balanced mod, which draws its base from the alpha screenshots.

I'm most likely going to go with a black dome, as I think it suits the soviet architecture better. But I will unify the dome scheme for all buildings, this one included. However, the version of this SHP that I release will have a release dome, to make it more suitable for other peoples work. Same thing goes for my nuclear reactor and for my construction yard.

Still, nice.
Thanks for the pointers, bro. There's a few things that I need to touch up, but I didn't really notice the poor shape of the red pieces. The pipes I'm considering replacing with something else, because I can't seem to replace them half-way decently. Maybe something more fitting with the debris of other stuff. _________________ PreRA2 Dev Lead QUICK_EDIT
You could've asked me...I had already restored this building...I even made a damaged state.
And my version looked almost exactly like the original. (Especially that fencing) QUICK_EDIT

Show me then. I'm genuinely interested. _________________ PreRA2 Dev Lead QUICK_EDIT
I'm sure I saw this at Sleipnirs' Stuff. I can't find the thread and the 'finished product' though. _________________ Ponies are not awesome. Kill all bronies with fire. QUICK_EDIT

It was in the "prerelease structure thread" and it was an absolute pile of crap. Someone made it back in 2002 or 2003. _________________ PreRA2 Dev Lead QUICK_EDIT
The guy is a blatant troll, read through his posts and even his introduction topic, there are tons of obvious signs, not to mention his constant 4Chan references and avatars.
Anyway, regarding the building: Aside from the very bright chunk of remap on the North East facing, it looks fantastic. Great job. QUICK_EDIT
I never saw any posts untrue did that looked like any from an troll, seriously, and his avatar doesn't affect that.(this one hes using though its really funny. )
Anyways, i would love to see its animation and all, awesome job symphonic. QUICK_EDIT
We've had Darknessvolt, Javier and last but certainly not least, iLoo. This guy doesn't come close - he's easily ignored. He may be trolling, but he's still easily ignored.
Just look at the PNG and wait for your worries to melt away QUICK_EDIT
I see a small tube lying on the snow. Anyway this reminds me of Prime's work. _________________ Ponies are not awesome. Kill all bronies with fire. QUICK_EDIT
