Good I guess... Maybe a bit plain.

Although its awesome IMO, how your posting so many of the infantry all at once.
Progress FTW! Razz

SHOTGUN!

And you almost finally did it, it being the dream: making a grenadier type infantry use a gun, and not his arms.

Still not helpful... you could have said what you wanted changing or how you think it should look.

ChielScape · Posted: Mon Dec 01, 2008 8:34 pm Post subject:

how about, totally unlike this?

like first of all, screw scale. its impossible. try it, you fail. so dont. original TS size was perfectly fine. still not too big, yet allowed them to as least look better than if they were puked out by a sick kid who just ate shit. with red dots.
second, use more than 2 colors on the palette. thats like making teh terrain a single solid color. that only works for space which is black.
third, give the f*cker a gun goddammit.

I agree with those two points. Once more detail is applied, it would look great, maybe perfect. Bonus points for giving him a gun! Its okay as it is for now. You nailed the size, so thats not an issue.

Repeating what has been said few times already before:
"We got no way to really improve the Infantry as we lack the guys to do that Job. If you know someone or are capable of editing Infantry yourself - please tell us if youre interested in helping TO and well gladly advice you to fecking improve those Boys until youll fell the urge to hump your monitor as soon as one enters the screen!"

Noted so far:
o Use more colors
o Return to standart-size
o Give them a proper gun

ztype the scale-sucks-fags and the 2nd-amendment-fags.

The right to throw arms! Now, just give him some dark greys and put the blue visor back and it's fine.

Much easier also then to make a gun for the guy.

Scale is fine. Remember, bigger dudes, more stuff to edit.

ChielScape · Posted: Tue Dec 02, 2008 6:26 pm Post subject:

2nd amendment... XD
naw.
guns are for soldiers. they should shoot civ's with their own guns. (which leaves those smart enough to not buy guns)

You want me to draw a concept for them? Wouldnt be any problem, but what would that help? Concepts for Infantry barely make any sence as theire just too small to foretell which details in my concepts will really be distinugishable and which not...

He didn't say anything about drawing a concept...

Yeah, just the colours & detail are all that really matter. The gun would be nice, but it's just not necessary; not right now at least.

Nice concept for buildups, somewhat similar to what I had planed for RoO, though I didn't include a cracking ground, a hatch would appear, then open, and the buildings would appear from underground.
Fits Nod underground theme nicely, so good job. Though you must remember that buildup animations have a frame limit.

About the GDI RPG trooper, give it a bigger backpack. It's a nice concept but it looks like a Desolator IMO.

Audiopulse · Posted: Sat Dec 13, 2008 4:11 pm Post subject:

tbh I wanted him to have a bigger backpack, too Wink

It just didnt work out as a really expected.

About the buildup: Should be doableif youd render the tube to start raising up when some of those rocks in the void are still about falling down.

I'm not trying to be offensive but the recolor 67% scaling thing is kinda a bit lazy.
EDIT:Like the design audiopulse but the helmet looks kinda nod like and chem warrior from renegade like.

He is referring to the treatment that all TO infantry got, being recolored and rescaled.

Errr, look at the TS renders of GDI soldiers?

Audiopulse · Posted: Sun Dec 14, 2008 3:19 am Post subject:

Mmh...

Thanks for input, but that has been aroused so many times now - and everytime we replied our reasons why the infantry looks like it looks. You really shouldve read the topic before posting... :/

Somehow I think even if a FAQ topic was pinned in the GDI subforum...

They'll keep asking the same question.
