Description:
Ingame looking: Light Tank (alpha) and Heavy Tank (alpha)
Tho, the barrels are too close to one another on the Soviet tank, in a similar fashion to MO's tank. _________________ One and only developer of the Command & Conquer Dune "C&C D" mod.

I don't know barrel file isn't work exactly ingame when they was in voxel viewer, I also don't know my voxel is too little, now I just delete barrel file and draw barrel inside turret, may that take a while. _________________ Under 2 year in conscription for socialism. QUICK_EDIT

What if you view the barrel with HVA builder? all voxels related to it will be viewed too so you can view all of its voxels in one screen. _________________ C&C community is rotten. QUICK_EDIT
There are VERY good for a first try, they have a very nice realistic shading and details which is hard to come by these days (everything is exxagerated in the RA3 style) QUICK_EDIT
The tanks aren't "Stupid big," and they can be easily resized down a slight bit in HVA Editor, though they don't need much.
@unknown_men Just for grins, I went ahead and touched these up a bit for you. A couple bits of constructive feedback:
1) The normals were not great, which is what led to them looking a bit grainy in game and appearing to have the infamous "black dot syndrome." My advice for this: Whatever you do, do not use tangent plane when you auto-normalize. Use either Cubed or Influence normals, I recommend Influence but some old school folks around here will swear by the old cubed engine. In my experience, they both produce similar results. RA2 range is fine but I tend to go higher for extra smoothness. 7.82 is usually my sweetspot for providing smooth normals without slaughtering your CPU.
2) The main body colors. The tanks appeared very bright in game because you colored the tanks with a gradient starting with a dark color near the bottom treads and going to a brighter color every 2 layers. This meant the bottom of the tank was about the right brightness, but by the time you got to the top of the body/turret, you were using nearly the brightest color in the set. You don't need to do this sort of color gradient in the editor-- normals will take care of that sort of lighting for you. In fact, it's exactly that reason that your tanks appeared so bright in the in-game screenshots, the combination of you increasing brightness and the normals increasing brightness produced way too much bright.
3) Other colors. Avoid using colors 240-255. These are special colors in the palette designed for SHPs to have bright sections that glow on dark maps (in other words, they don't adjust their brightness according to ambient light). By default, voxels can't use these colors, which just appear as big splotches of pink ingame unless you download a special VPL. All of those colors can be replaced with nearly identical colors elsewhere in the palette.
Take a look at these and let me know what you think!
Side of the soviet one's skirt and allied one's turret is a little too bright. The shape itself is quite good.

Thanks for big adviced and fix work. And yes, I was used 240 - 255 in 2 voxel for tank light lamp for make sure they glow up but i test and see nothing. QUICK_EDIT
