Spring RTS Engine

I have noticed that s44 models seem to have very 'flat' shading, they look like they have low dynamic range. I hardly see any specular highlights or heavily occluded areas. Do you use normal maps in s44?

This model has no normal map. Some other models (tanks) do have them.

Problem isn't missing normlmap, it's the missing tex2.
Metal reflects light and that is totally missing w/o tex2.

Replacement for the "Kite" Lightning hovertank model:

Nothing says you are fucked, like a mini-big-bang in your base..



Yeah, still needs some stars and galaxys.. is WIP

Looks awesome Pica, and (naturally) totally insane.

Turns out Spiked's dropship model has kinda over large feet for the doors

Solution: overly-intricate unfolding anim to get them out without clipping.

3 more down

I wish the whole thing was smother to make..
every grander ceg takes forever..


especially the timing..

anything worth doing man!

So after two days of playing with my new Wacom tablet, I finally have something I'm not totally embarrassed to show off. (It's a character sprite for my SECRET PROJECT)



Plan to give her braids eventually, but I don't feel like investing the effort right now.

@PicassoCT: Looks amazing, as usual. And I cant help but fearfully wonder what kind of unit(?) it might be... as usual



Also, some wip from me. Just an frigate design that haunted me for the last few weeks.

That frigate looks pretty damned cool!

Here is an 8v8 16*16 map WIP shot:

Jumbo Seths Ravine!

Yet another S44 unit gets a texture:

jK's new LUPS effects for Avenger dropship, and galvanized metal detail shader.

Mmm detail shader, tell me more :)

I would especially like to know if you are using a second set of UVs for it or if youre just wrapping a texture on it.

Yes tell me more about that shader!

New aircraft models. Post about them is here if you feel like reading: https://plus.google.com/b/1122284384861 ... uhLGf7iTA3

it's a detalmap shader, so no additional uv map. It's just the stock renderer with ~4 additional lines that splat the detailmap across the texture (in 2 different resolutions to reduce repetition). It mixes it minor into the diffuse color and heavily into the specular reflection term.
