PPM Community News:
-> New Voxels: Flak Track and Tesla Tank remake, by shin.peter.pan:
-> New 3d Model: Tiberian Sun Silo, by Madin:
-> New SHP files: New icons (cameos) for Tiberian Sun, posted by TiberFCSL (courtesy of C&C Reborn, mod from Blue Hell Productions)
-> New Map for Tiberian Sun: Kalistia Crestland, created by Ixith.
-> ¥R_M0dd€r has published a polemic tool called Buildup Creator 1.0. It was created to aid users to create build up animations for buildings from Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2. The polemic part is that the method used to create these build up animations is very primitive and not coherent with the build up animations created by Westwood. But it may be useful for desesperate people, so feel free to check it out and recommend better ways to automatize build up creations.
Tiberian Sun Hosted Mods:
-> Tiberian Sun: Asset expansion: There are screenshots of new civilian buildings and terrain types.
Red Alert 2 Hosted Mods:
-> VenomRage has new screenshots of new units from RevengeForce such as the Infantry Shredder and an even better reponse for this unit from Venom faction.
-> Echilon: The War for Terra Nova is alive and, in order to prove it, daTS has posted some work in progress models HERE.
Tiberium Wars Hosted MOds:
-> Crossfire has a new poll where visitors can help zeusbig to choose the colour scheme from the new faction called Series. Here's one picture that shows the two candidate colour schemes for Series:
And that's it. I don't need to mention The Dawn of the Tiberium Age, since the last two news already showed very interesting features that will be available in the version 1.11 of the mod.
