make tanks from shps? This is nagging at me, and I am not an artist, so I could understand how hard this is...but is it anyways possible to make a 100% shp tank?

Sure it's possible. The problem is it won't tilt at slopes, and if it uses a turret it will look very lifeless since it can't spin.

it could spin, could it not. Using the same method for voxels, a body, a turret, and a barrel. just use the voxel=no tag in the art. The tilting would be the worst part about it.

Really? I didn't know that the turret can't spin, that's a bit of a downgrade from previous C&C games, don't you think?

if the tank was a one piece shp, yes, but if you use my method, then maybe not.

the titan is shp
it had a voxel barrel and a shp turret
therefor shp turrets can spin

True,but SHPs most of the time look better then the voxels...(Compair the C&C Mammoth tank with the TS one...)

The mammoth tank from ts sux. It was made quickly for sure. The SHPs use 256 like voxels so I say they don`t look better.

and while we are on a ball, lets say that you could build a half a structure, and have the other build as an extension. Like the helipad. Any ideas on that?
