Spring RTS Engine

Bingo, Nailed it.

Nice work.

That last one is pretty sweet.

nice. captures the spririt of the original while looking much cooler.

That is rather sexy, and has a real sense of style.

And the OTA model isn't lost in translation either, nice stuff.

Last pick. I think I can start the uvs now

I'm gonna finish this one now and start another model this evening. I've to speed up, I've only done 18% of arm buildings and I'm going to egypt 1 week tomorrow ^^

Awesome, that's really cool. Still looks best closed imo but I guess an opening animation will give it added style.

That is so cool.
its halfway between armour and a heatsink.

I'd cylinder map the barrels and either clone the duplicate UVs or place them in a way that they overlap each other perfectly.

could you explain cylinder map? what's it for? why is it better for something?

Hoi > My barrels are 6 sided, I've unwrapped side by side and overlapped them (yellow part)

I think rattle means that I should do 6 side without overlapping, so pre-shading can be done in texturing (light on the top, shadow on the bottom)

Am I right rattle ?

Yes, unless you can get them to look good like this.

one thing to remember, in spring the buildings may be on different types of terrain, and there might be deformation happening. So consider extending the base down a bit when you make buildings.

Just a thought.

1 good reason to map cylinders with each face direction layed out flat is if you want to put a gradient shading on the barrel, its hard to do if its just cloned and overlapped.

I'd also suggest to model the cylinder with all necessary cuts first, then unrwap it and deform it after. It's a lot easier to paint then while the little bit of deformation doesn't really hurt.

hahaha fully

You're just mad cause its bigger than yours.

Ok, I tried to fix that.

@ smoth : True, I forgive that. I've made the base a bit longer.

@ MR.D : Yeah, that's the main reason, but you loose lot's of space in the uv map in my mind ^^

@ rattle : That's an interesting idea that I applied here. I'll try to remember this tip Thx.
