[RA2] Soviet Gunboat
Subject description: edit of some old voxel
I found a voxel in one of my folders, don't know where it came from or who originally made it but I'm sure I've had it for a while. I didn't really like it but I wanted a Soviet gunboat so I thought I'd try and edit it a bit. Maybe some of you will find it useful as well.
Anyway here it is (caution: crapness)
And here is the original (author unknown)
I also tried to make a cameo for it by editing a photo of a real Russian gunboat (textless).

Description:
soviet gunboat - includes original and edited version as well as textless cameo

The base voxel looks really old, almost like something from YR Argentina back in the day.
I like your edits- extra details without getting messy and distorting the shape of the voxel. The bow's normals need a little touching up, though. _________________ YR modder/artist, DOOM mapper, aka evanb90

The new voxel is a good step forward, as noted the normals need work, but I suggest a design tweak...
As a rule ships avoid putting anything near the bow and stern, so that radar mast and whatever is beside it don't really belong. moreso considering it appears you have a sensor array on top of the command deck? _________________ http://www.moddb.com/mods/scorched-earth-ra2-mod-with-smart-ai QUICK_EDIT

I might share some biographical data about the original: this voxel was included in a very early version of Mental Omega, as the "Chinese Gunboat", which was sort of an easter egg, having originally appeared, as the "Asian Gunboat", in Eagle Red, together with several other early MO assets, including the "Lynx Tank" cameos (included in MO assets as late as the MO2.0 Resource Pack), the "Advanced Comm Center", the "Luyang Destroyer", the "Pelican", and perhaps others. Perhaps the voxel was an asset created specifically for ER, or perhaps it passed into ER as a public asset through some source no longer available. _________________
