My first attempt on custom voxel.

Zero18

So, my first attempt on making a custom voxel. It was much smaller than i expected. Not sure why I get blue/purple on the tanks wheels, probably too much smoothing.

What colors did you use in Voxel Editor. You can't normally use 204-239 as those have Magenta (Empty Colors) in the RA2 Palette.

Also its best not to use #0,#1,#10,#11, & #12 as those have special uses when rendered by the game as 0 is transparent.

Not sure, what i did is use the brown color (yellow to deep orange then grayscale and turn it back to GDI color) Well, now I wanna to learn how to make the unit voxel skin blend in like various of color and the treads as well too.

So, i edited it a bit more. new pic of the custom tank.

Download some Spotlighted Tank Voxels for references on how to draw Treads properly. Usually its just a single dark color that wraps around a set of wheels.

Good Examples to refer to would be from Azri's Voxels though in general his are already pushing alot of details but that should give you a rough idea on how to draw the treads.

So, I made another voxel tank. the treads looks realistic now (I hope).

First voxel, I don't believe it, it isn't a box, IT ISN'T A BOX!
Too good for a fist voxel, keep it going.

Ah yes, lol. I'm still practicing it more. Laughing

Trying to get the concept of the skin blending feel.

There are gaps. Close them by reducing the bounds size slightly.

Another custom voxel.

just did it and it ruined my old tank, so i'm redesigning it until i perfect the tank design.

Transforming Voxel Bounds from my experience always gets gaps if you try to make it bigger. Making the Voxel smaller however is fine.

In Bounds it should be
1-0-0
0-1-0
0-0-1

By Default.

What? Those bounds make no sense to me. Some changes must have been made that I'm totally unaware of.

How does changing the bounds ruin your voxel? Just put the bounds back again then. Are you saying it makes your voxel too small in-game afterwards or scrunches up some details? You could try an alternate method which is to fill-in the gaps with voxel cubes but its extremely tedious unless someone made a feature to automate it in the voxel editor.

By the way, why is the turret off-centre when the tank is facing away from camera only it seems?

Not sure why my tank turret is off center. In HVA, it is centered, however in-game it appeared to be off center very slightly. Dunno why. Confused
