heres the kind of voxels i like









i like them because they have very distinct and creative designs. they look like they have niche and specific roles and
are interesting to use ingame. the detail is focused on the shape and silhouette and not on redundant small details.
the small details they do have blend into the unit instead of stick out. they all are properly sized too. they just look like
it would be cool to build about six of them and try and micro them to full veterancy

here are the kind of voxels i dont like







i dont like them because they have the opposite of distinct and creative designs. it looks like someone went "yo dawg, i heard
you like sandwiches, so i made a quintuple hamburger cheeseburger whopper". but with a tank. they all have literally the same
shape: brick shaped. they have way too many details that somehow make them look even less distinct. its like a cacophony of
bullshit my eyes cant even process what im seeing right now. they look too obese to be micro controlled and like they would sit at
base next to the repair depot for most of the game

I understand your feelings well. I have a lot of opinions on the subject, but I'm interested to hear other people's perspectives on it. There are certain aspects I really dislike, this trend towards gigantic voxels, and there are things that just irritate me, like when someone is fighting normals.

But to your point.... I suspect a large part of the over-detailing is because people don't know how to use shape and normals to create interesting hulls, and compensate by adding junk to break up the monotony.

I'm fond of "imaginary design based on realism", like say take Soviet SU-100 from improved to powerful tank-hunter.
A the same time i kinda hate pure-futuristic voxels, 'cause they are often stereotypical: this must have hover and lasers pew-pew, and this must be gigantic cause it's big bad enemy faction unit.(same curse is over most structures created for factions)

That seems to be the growing concensus, that people still prefer the voxels to be near-realism, with some variation on how advanced they prefer.

Honestly, I expected more people to choose pure realism, though I didn't think we'd see may sci-fi votes.

tbh I generally prefer voxels based on real designs or ones that look as if they could be, though for Yuri I think more sci-fi/fantasy vehicles are fine as long as they look good.

Recently been trying to find vehicles that look as if they could be APCs, IFVs, ATGM launchers, etc, basically any other "realistic" looking vehicle that isn't just a battle tank but they seem to be rare. Even generic Soviet vehicles I'd assume would be in abundance like a BTR seems hard to come by lol

Did you see my BMR-600 and Vodnik voxels? They're public if you search.

aye, I'd seen those, they're good. They're the sort of thing I'd like to see more of.
