Re: Random WIP 2013+
Thanks guys
Looks like Beherith has organized us into black-ops sleeper cels
Firestorm great work on your models BTW.
Picasso... spooky and haunted as always, good stuff!
here's some more; Diffuse only and shaded faces (shit will be much more cash when I finish specular/diffuse/illuminated but you get the idea)

ARM Advanced Construction Sub
KaiserJ, I'm getting even more curious . I imagine the arm atlas must be tricky to work with since it's quite chaos-ish.

Re: Random WIP 2013+
neat stuff;
so lemme get this straight, firestorm is modeling and kaiser is texturing?

Re: Random WIP 2013+
No...
Kaiser models and textures his own units, using the atlas I presume.
The atlas texture is mainly a mash-up of Cremuss' stuff.
I don't texture, because I'm used to Beherith doing that, but i'm looking into that because, well... models don't texture themselves and there's still quite a few to go.

Re: Random WIP 2013+
Aww that turtle sub is so cute! Ill try to get back into atlassing :)
Re: Random WIP 2013+
Oh, I thought he was going to texture the arm atlas you made (I assume that plane with a hole in the middle is atlas, or one of them is)?FireStorm_ wrote:No...

Re: Random WIP 2013+
@Beherith
I meant that it's time I do some texturing myself, but you texturing is always a good thing. I better finish it fast
@gajop
Ah, I didn't realise Atlas is ambiguous.
Yes, the arm t1 air transport is called Atlas
(It's 2nd one from the right, in the back row, btw. The 'round' one is the Dragonfly.)
But... Atlas is also a term for a single image file witch features multipe, or all, 2D art (sprites or textures) of a project or game.
For BAR this means all units of a faction use parts of the same very big texture. (example of atlas)
hope that cleared stuff up

Re: Random WIP 2013+
Firestorm, have you seen the arm atlas Kaiser is using? Its super nice. Also included in the BAR artwork repo.
If you feel anything is missing from it, then there is still space left on it.
Its still super easy to use, just watch my youtube video.

Re: Random WIP 2013+
To me it looked a bit chaotic, but I'll familiarise myself with it. I was planning on making a torpedo model; texturing that at first should be very doable
Re: Random WIP 2013+
Yeah that is a great way to familiarize yourself with it, and with the flow of atlasing.
I highly recommend having the move, rotate, uniform and X/Y scale mapped to keys when doing this in wings, because the speed increase you get is crazy!

Re: Random WIP 2013+
gajop; I'm making the texture atlas, and giving it a try by applying it to some bots (i'll be making the rest of the ARM bots also) but beherith and firestorm seem to be doing the bulk of the modelling.
Re: chaotic atlas... it's certainly not perfect, and you have to do some shennanigans to get everything to fit (the hexagons on the con-sub for instance would be tough because we don't have hexagons on the atlas, but with a little bit of shimmying and shaking it would all work out okay)
We've got lots of room left to add specific shapes... so if you do decide to do some texture work and get stuck i'll be happy to add something on for you

Re: Random WIP 2013+
Thanks guys, i'll keep those pointers in mind.
And i can't think of any stuff lacking on the texture now, but that also good to know.

Re: Random WIP 2013+
Ye, I think at this point just keep making nice models; Now that I look at the turtle again I'm confident that I could use the existing elements and make it look very slick
In fact I will do so... because it will be important to add certain shapes for faces. I'm adding a few things here and there as I make the bots so it's entirely possible that more things need to be added (I already have a short list of additions) and it would be very beneficial for me to have a try at one or two of your models in the near future just to be sure there is nothing conspicuously absent
The sooner we can be confident in a mostly complete atlas in terms of shapes and content I can finish restyling / improving the look and move on to the different channels and finally finish the damned thing entirely

Re: Random WIP 2013+
Hexagons, octagons and dodecagons are very useful additions :)
Core atlas use graph (logarithmic)

Re: Random WIP 2013+
Cremuss' models have a lot of have small surfaces and meshes. That manifests in the texture I think, (but that's on a sidenote.)
Would it not be wise to not add to much before you run into a specific problem? I mean having some unused parts on the texture as a safety net didn't sound like a bad idea.
In any case, I finished and uploaded the sub(s) if you want to give it a try.

Hello Spring community :D
Vroomvroom!
Originally wanted to mod CNC3 but that didnt work out
Will spring be better? :D

Re: Random WIP 2013+
With you? Yes.
Not with you. No.
Good work. Wellcome aboard. You work on a mod of your own? or do you want to be bombarded by moddevs searching talented people?
VTOL is very nice.

Re: Random WIP 2013+
I'd like to make my own mod :) but i have no idea how so i should go read tomorrow.
Am i doing this right?
I am a student just starting to use 3Dsmax for game/animation design and trying to make a hovertank and wreck model now :D
