How about making it OpenTopped?
Then you only have to add a few extruding gunports all over the body.
Though i'm not sure what happens with the passengers when you deploy it again.

Basic rule of thumb: You can't combine two different deploy functions. One of them will always take priority over the other, not sure which one it would be in this case.

How about a Conyard with a defense system: crane swings the crate like a lasso and throws it in a high arc towards the enemy. Very Happy

I think just heightening it sort of like this but better and less repetitive would work.

The Con Yard is really quite nice as well, I like the overall shape. Just the crane needs reworking to be a bit more realistic and industrial.

I think that the War Factory seems a bit small for the size of most custom graphics used in projects nowadays.

You should remove the ramp in front of the War Factory, it might look odd because it's just visual - the units won't actually move along it.

^^or rotate slightly the whole building so the ramp is parallel to the tiles, giving only the impression of the units moving the ramp down.

change of crane for the ConYard, also i will fix the "shortness" of the Warfactory soon

btw, this is the animation which plays when a building is constructed.

Maybe it would look even better if it's not straight like that?

How do you think the telescope arm should work if it's not straight?

@Imp: the hatch that slides to the side before the crane comes up should be a tad higher in the z-axis. Right now it looks a bit too much like a flat 2-dimensional plane.

thanks alot Smile
but there is a slight chance that i might not release these

anyways, ive made changes to the Warfactory and ConYard. also ive made a BattleLab, i might add some antennas to the top

If he is, he should diversify the lighting on the recent ones like additional roof glow on the metal as it looks much the same all across now.

They are still being worked on.

The originally shown set will be AS-specific art, latter will be featured in ImP's mod.

MCV should be positioned in the center of the building, not at one of the corners. Your buildup would look odd ingame as the mcv jumps from one position to another right as the buildup animation starts.

lol @ LKO. This is an SHP, not a voxel, you can't complain about to use false normals here. You're welcome.

ImP, anims ended up quite good. Tonight I'll be on IRC.

@GD i gave some ideas how to improve the voxel too.
@Imp: i'm just posting the points i noticed (might look like a long list, so don't be offended)

  • the ground hexagon cell shape texture should be smaller. It makes it look cartoonish. Also keep a consistent size on all buildings, so at least the buildings have a consistent size towards each other.
  • the concrete front/rear "round" arc of the conyard has 5 parts, i think a real round shape would be better (it looks like a low poly model, than an intended design feature since many other parts are really round too)
  • the buildup anims only use "raise from ground" or "rotate into view" as effect which look quite repetitive and simple. Especially a fully assembled crane raising through the ground looks bad. Instead use a "slice-plane" that moves upwards from ground and which has the part above it removed. Then it really builds up from ground to the top.
  • the shadows are too weak. A 50% darken effect for the shadow is necessary to match the other ingame shadows. With that stronger shadow, the models should also get a much higher contrast
  • the materials use very simple light settings. As SHP you are free to give them nice reflections, metallic surfaces, bump maps and other nice details (e.g. give concrete and metallic parts different light settings too, not only a different texture). Many of these are just a quick change of the glossiness parameter and others in the material setup.
  • the textures are very clean/simple. To reduce a bit the clean plastic look, you should add a Noise map to them with a brown/grey in one channel and in the other your current texture. This way the buildings get a nice random texture and you can adjust the strength of the noise so it doesn't looks to prominent and dirty. Bumpmaps to give the surfaces more depth would be nice too.
  • aim a tad more realism: parts coming out of nowhere or vanishing into the ground looks bad. e.g. add a small dark line at the base of the sliding conyard door, so it looks like there is a pit into which it slides. Or give the conyard fans some interior in the cylinder, not only a black texture between the wings of the fan.
    the conyard crane is very simple too with only a box as ground, cylinder as joint and another box as arm. Try adding more detail to it by using a real robotic arm as reference.
  • use less standard shapes like cylinder/boxes. It gives it a low poly look. e.g. the conyard/warfactory fan cylinder could get a lot more detail by only a simple change like chamfering the top a bit, extruding/intruding a few polygons on the side etc. Chamfering some edges of other parts also raises the detail and realism. (a brick wall bumpmap can also help giving them more detail)
  • please don't make WW mistake of using one color remap. Use a remap colored texture which follows correct the lighting of the rest of the model.
  • add small details for better size perception. The barrack with the small windows is great, give one or two of the windows as a recurring detail to other buildings too. Then their size is a lot better appreciable and big buildings like the conyard appear also much bigger when you have small details as reference.


The darker previous set was much better imo as it had a lot of the mentioned things fixed already.

P.S. for the gifs use in future a higher frame delay. They play very fast which makes it hard to see details.

Yeah, Idk why you scrapped the old conyard arm, I like it alot better. I mean, if you're gonna make a new conyard and not just a re-make, why not strive to make it function and look better than WW?

Sorry to repeat everyone else, but I think it needs to be said that it does look low poly. Otherwise, you make a really great looking buildup and animations honestly.

as for the darker previous set, i will continue working on it after i finish these GenStyled buildings
