Parallel Wars Returns.

I don't know if it's realistic but I think it looks great. #Tongue

On another note I always think desert camo fits the Soviets, considering they've always fought across plains towards the middle-east and Asia.

Black, grey and yellow camo could suit Europe as it's more subversive/urban/exotic. Either that or simple woodland camo, which suits England especially IMO.

L()KI · Posted: Tue Dec 28, 2010 3:59 am Post subject:

Well isn't it more green where they come from? Green just suits them too well anyway. I havn't found a colour that beats green for the Soviets yet.

I will try a few new colour schemes though.

Update:

Civilian stuff, I'm finally starting to get that feeling I want from the mod, atmosphere wise.

I also got all the effects for the heavy tank attached and I changed its speed and turn rate and everything. Feels really heavy now. Heh, it Makes me happy... Smile

Oh and the range of its weapon has been greatly extended (its using the crusader gun). I wonder why they made it so short originaly though.

This pic you see is part of the first official map and stage of the Federation and Neo Soviet Campaign.

The shape of the tank's turret is a bit odd(, and of course one building isn't textured), but I like what I see.

Odd you say? why may ask? Is it the back of the turret perhaps?

Anyhoo...

My first mech concept for the mod, so far I am failing at the animation part so it'll be a while before this thing gets up and running/walking.

It is for the Federation... The plan for it is to be friggn expensive and show up much later in the tech tree. Ment to take out bunkers and very heavy armour. Will have too light machine guns on it too.

Goliath sounds nice for it don't you think?

Yup it deffinately does, I havn't finnished modelling it in anm8tor yet. Don't worry, I try and get rid of any un-needed polys of any model. I go by what your tutorial says, "make it as effecient as possible".[quote]

@ 206UE : Glad you like it.

Happy new year!

Some more WIP: more civilian work and a Neo Soviet Rocket artillery thingy. The dam things ran over the trees in front of the houses!

I will post a close up on the unit after working on the textures a bit more.

Its using the buggy weapon for now and needs some of the effects aligned properly..... Will do that soon.

WIP A heavy turret for the Federation. Ment to stop armour in their tracks.

Very long range and very heavy armour for its class. Also its rather acurate but its expensive and takes long to reload. Weaker against most types of infantry.

It needs a power supply too. Well that the idea for now.

Basement is underground but I get what you mean. I need to show the under ground-ness a bit more.

Heh it would be cool if it could knock infantry, but it turns way to slow anyway.

Well I finally got a copied reskinned and resized infantry working.

Ignore the textures on the infs and tell me if you think the size is too small? Also remember the tank is about the size of a crusader a bit bigger to be specific.

Angry Mob logic is bad imho.
Anyways, infantry size look good. Did you resize the models?

That dead van needs a fix though, something wrong with the shadows. Anyway some more progress...

Yeah thats the thing I can't fix it on Renx... I wonder if there is a bug fix for that. I can at least fix it most of the time if I go back to start in anim8tor but not all the time. Like with these dead things.

The light tank had that bug, only way I could fix it was deleting the faces. They barely visble so it wasn't a big deal but I would have rather had those faces there.

I want to get a new shader for the mod too. Perhaps that might fix the bug?

L()KI · Posted: Sat Jan 08, 2011 7:42 pm Post subject:

Rebels yay... and a new dead car if you can spot it...

The hole in one of the front windows is planned to be a where a garrisoned unit fires out of.

NB this is not a playable side... only for campaign and story.

But you can always highjack their shit... Smile

It was my first official model for the mod actually. The thing was friggin high on poly count dam. I wasn't even thinking about polys while I was making it.

Anyway its gone now. I'll keep the backup somewhere. Feel rather sentimental about it...

So what you think? Oh the turret will get replaced too... heh I forgot about that.

The Hummer looks like a BMW now. Can't unsee #Tongue

As for the damage state its too simple and bland. Should see some more destruction.

L()KI · Posted: Mon Jan 10, 2011 2:50 pm Post subject:

Dam, it does look like a beemer... Now I can't unsee it either.

Oh thats just damage stage 1 man. theres still another 3 to go...

Cranium · Defense Minister **Joined**: 05 Dec 2009 **Location**: USA

You should use both the new and the old hummers. They look like 2 different vehicles anyway. maybe put some side mount sidewinder missile launch tubes on the new one Razz

Looking good L()KI.

Yeah I will make simplified versions of them for unit dcals and such.

Anyways I made the tnk destroyer look a bit more futuristic, it looked too ww2-ish.

Also, rebel basic infantry called rebel boys. Their main role is to annoy the crap out of you, they are rather easy to get rid of though.

Lol no. I called them boys because they are very young and even sized them to be smaller than regular infantry.

That thing was made very badly man, like a 1000 polies or something. Theres no point, I replaced it with the new one. Now it's 408 polies.

I think I deleted the model, so I'm sorry if you wanted it or something. Thanks for the offer though.

No worries. I was going to try and optimize it for you, but if you've got a new one then it doesn't make sense to do it.

Since this is actually ment for ZH each side will get 3 armies instead of generals. You will be able to tell which army is which from the camo.

This unit is close to done, just needs a little more work on the model and textures.
