Hi !

I'm back

Ready to continue :D

First try of the Kbot lab lvl 1 with animation steps.
699 polys, yes it's a bit high but it's a factory and there will be not many of them at screen, 2-3 max so I think it's ok

I'm gonna tweak it, it's not done :)

[Hoi]

Cool, your best one so far! and don't touch the thud, I'm working on it, but I lost some data....

tricount?

[Machiosabre]

awesome, just needs some do-dads that shoot nanofire

Think about speedmetal with tech 2 disabled

Think about speedmetal with tech 2 disabled

If this model will kick speedmetal out, it will be great model ^^
Maybe create nanotower with 300-600 polys (on speedmetal people build a lot of it)

[MR.D]

Your lab is Top notch man, it doesn't get more perfect than that.
Nice work

[REVENGE]

Goddamit Kaine, hurry up and get your ass moving with that texture work!

[clumsy_culhane]

That lab looks awesome.. Kaine! texture please ;D

[Kaine]

Good textures can't be rushed ffs! :p
I'll start on the lab right after I get the metal storage done up. HLT is also on my list in the future. But school is starting up for me right quick so I ain't making any deadlines for you guys...

Besides, Im just starting and still learning to texture. I don't go very fast.

[Warlord Zsinj]

I need to clone myself... I'd love to help out with this stuff, but I really am totally committed to my IW work.

[Cremuss]

Hi,

Thx everyone :)

@ Kaine : I really appreciate what you are doing, thx for texturing my stuff

@ Warlord zsinj : No problem =p

little tweaking... I've added a "floor" for units so they can cross the lab without hurting the cylinders.
688 polys.
I think I can start uv now...

Next one tomorrow

[rattle]

Not enough spacing between the UV isles

[Cremuss]

ok, I'm gonna fix that

[rattle]

You should. The linear blending between the pixels causes "bleeding" when the UVs are packed too close. It's not that bad when the texture is at full resoultion but it will become worse the lower the mipmap goes. To see what I mean color each isle with a different color and look at the model ingame (not in upspring).

[Warlord Zsinj]

Can we see a shot of the model in it's 'open' state?

He posted it up at the top of this page.

[Warlord Zsinj]

Ah, my apologies, I missed that.

It looks like the underside part revealed when the two base elements fold up to reveal the nanolathes could use some more detail? Remember that most people have their factories working non-stop, so those are going to be seen pretty much all the time.

Have a look at Mr.D's construction unit / vehicle lab to see some ideas of how you can detail a nanolathe construction area more interestingly.
