Spring RTS Engine

.. do I have to prattle on again about scale in ta... peewee!=guy in a suit.

Actually, that's kind've the joke, Smoth. It's a girl in a suit. I figured you'd get it

There is something very wrong with that argh...

I wonder if there will ever be anything but lvl1 Arm bots done?

<shrugs> not from me, I'm just bored and I don't feel like working on my project for a minute.

why doesn't BA use the better quality models used in XTA

Final. So far as I know, this is one of the very few deliberately female characters ever built for an OTA engine, and certainly this has to be the best-painted (although I think that animator whatever-his-name-is wins the all-time best prize for best female walk anim):

Explains why peewees get raped so much... women are bad drivers.

Something interesting, for those who care:

The skin above is 512.

This is 256 at typical game distances:



This is 128:




Not convinced yet?

How's about at 3X zoom... far closer than most people zoom, unless they're using an oblique camera view and are being silly:

128:


256:


512:

Hahaha that rocks.

Have to admit, this does look like an ordinary peewee from that distance.

Your texture doesn't look like it warrants a 512 so of course downscaling won't result in a loss of detail.

Oy, girl!

I have done the UV map with a 256x256 map in mind this time.

Left 512, right 256...


512, bigger

75% done... hope this is bright enough. :P

Keep the blotches fuzzy. IRL, those are done with spraypaints- they should not have a harsh edge.

That's a 25% noise grayscale image and all I've done is run some filters over it. I'll try it though. I had it more fuzzy before but it was too distractive.

If it's distracting, then use other things to highlight the geometry, like lightening the edges. Lemme see if I can do a quickie...

There ya go... "jungle camo version".

Argh, I think you should add more wear and tear to the whole thing, scratches, chipped paint, dirt.

For something that didnt exist 20 minutes ago freshly built?

Finished... click for bigger pictures.
