Spring RTS Engine

It's got plenty, just set normals on barrel edges to 30 degrees and problem solved.

Tada, final tweaks done (including giving them actual wheels, which had been bugging me). I'll put downloads up once I've cleared it with my tutors; may have to wait for it all to be officially handed in (Nov. 17th) before I can release it without causing a massive plagiarism snarl.

They look awesome, love the textures.


If you're planning on making more though, I'd suggest upping the poly count. We don't need to run with a limit quite as conservative as TA, that was 13 years ago after all.

I love them, they are just right.

Double the polycount would mean double time to unwrap and texture.

please do not doubling poly count for the sake of doubling poly count. Just like a box doesn't need more than 6 quads, these units don't need more polygons.

I didn't mean that, I just meant he could easily get away with having more detail on future models.

why? the level of detail is fine as it is... you can always add some gimmicks with a few billboard quads if you got any texture space left, like antennae or cables or lights what ever comes to your mind without adding a humongous amount of poligons

they look fine, i like the style, you should make the others too :)

they look better than fine. I have jealousy issues on those texture jobs.

I was trying out the workflow described here: http://www.isotx.com/forums/index.php?topic=8581.0 (particularly the thing about gradients); came out well!

I agree with the part about layer management for normalmaps, but I've found that you usually need 3 layers for best speed.

fucking A man.

These look great GMN, really captures the fun feeling of the originals which I feel most people seem to miss when they make super serious mecha remakes
