Spring RTS Engine

Thanks for the offer Wombat, but I prefer to make stuff myself (plus I'd already modelled two of them by that point...) Working off this , naturally, I've got the Stumpy, Mortar Tank and Medium Tank all modelled and UV'd, though not yet textured. I realise the unit list on that concept set don't qui...

...Well nuts.

I'm making a Stumpy anyway.

Edit: Oh, misread that as 'pretty much all of 'em', ie 'none left' >_>

MAKING STUMPIES ANYWAY.

Tempted to take up TA modelling again; what units are left that don't have s3o remodels?

Core vehicles and level 1 kbots are done as memory serves; what about Arm's stuff?

I haven't yet, no...

The texture turned out kind of grungy and not as cute as the first pic I posted. But I don't know how to make it look cute with out making the texture look undetailed. Any suggestions? Fiddle with contrast, brightness and saturation. Just use adjustment layers so you tweak to your heart's content w...

Also try http://www.solaris7.com/ - It's a battletech site, but of note is the image gallery.

Yep, I remember. I was quoting a line from Half-Life 2. And I still recall your advice. *bows*

The size of the unit is also important; something small won't need as big a texture as something big. Also make sure to optimise UV space; this includes mirrors (ie overlaying identical UV shells - for example, a KBot's legs are usually identical to each other, so reuse the UV space for extra textur...

Don't drink the water. It makes you forget.

I can't even remember how I got here...

Texturing for Beginners (PDF) by Leigh Vanderbyl

CG Textures is also the place to go for texture overlays (ie using actual photographs in the texture-making process) and all that, and also has a good variety of tutorials on photoshop-related tips and tricks (they're in the top bar)

What rattle said. You've actually got the details down pat, it's just surface definition; at the moment, it just looks like it's made of some grey... stuff - it's all flat colours and shades. Get a few metal overlays and make it look like it's actually made of metal / plastic / whatever. Add some di...

*drops jaw*

That... that that that...

THAT'S FREAKIN' AWESOME!

It makes you stealthy by making your enemies blind.

I forsee some form of Replicator or Nanobot faction...

uh... whoops, looks like I removed the images by accident

I wanted something with the connotations of big, heavy and prone to stomping things. Orthodox.
