Random WIP 2006-2011

[knorke]

luckily EmitSfx turned out to be less gay than expected.
Though it was a bit strange to get orientation right.

pew pew muzzle flash!

[manolo_]

whats special about the animation? the turning barrols?

[Karl]

whats with the missile launcher wine knorke?



the last sprayer looked gai so now it looks less gay
also no not flames , Tiberium it sprays! or Anthrax
depending wich faction you are

[knorke]

wine
nothing really special about the animation, was just happy about muzzle flashs.
maybe more special is that you can upgrade it to have 2 extra barrels (4 in total) for ratatatata at twice the speed.
oh, and its a gatling gun not a missle launcher lol

Karl, that looks quite cool. Just the cockpit (?) area between the barrels seems a bit strange.
but really looks alot like the NOD flame tanks from C&C

[Karl]

wow yes its based off the Flame tank from C&C

i mean the missile launcher unit that you have showed me on lobby
and thanks

also what faction is that anyway?

[knorke]

oh the scud-like missle truck.
probally will not be ingame, want something that allows more interessting animation.. (reloading etc)

[smoth]

care to post the model? I would like to tweak your normals and show you some of what you are missing.

[Karl]

uhh let me do one another model and doing some polishing up
then i will upload it

thanks for you offer

[Hoi]

Just upload it. That model can look 10x better in 1 minute if you just set up the normals correctly :)

[smoth]

Karl, generally if I am offering help it is because I have a moment I can do it, wait too long and I will move on to something else.

[Karl]

here
.wings format

[smoth]

fixed a bunch of suboptimal and problematic geometry. (and did normals)

[Karl]

thanks smoth for taking your time


btw: fun with cegs (K and S operators on sizegrowth maeks disco)
also the low quality looks great on the groundflashes somehow fakes bloom nicely

[bobthedinosaur]

thats a pretty interesting ceg effect karl. How did you make those transparent heat/ shockwaves work? I've been trying to make a heat exhaust effect for vtol with soemthing like that for awhile, and haven't figured it out, (it either looks like crap, or it doesn't show up.)

[Karl]

oh wait nevermind

sizeGrowth=3 r2 r-2 x1 s-1;

thats the correct one sorry for confusing
use this on CSimpleGroundFlash

i figured that out by playing around with Operators
heck i even could make a fountains of it!

[smoth]

thanks smoth for taking your time

just be sure to compare the two and see what I changed.

[Karl]

i have it it looked more clear and some parts are more visible
also i see you have tringualisited some faces which is unneeded in my opinion

hm also i couldn't find any geometrical problem in that model
i think i am blind

[smoth]

The insides of your gunport things had 3 loop cuts.
sides of the tanktred covers had uneeded loop cuts.
cockpit cover/cowl had loop cuts that were uneeded

Triangulated only one part, the back because it was a concave n-gon that spring would have aut-triangulated... hell any game would have had a field day with that.
