[Warlord Zsinj]

Very imaginative, aGorm, really nice.

[smoth]

They look much nicer. I want to see them with a realistic/grunge texture.

[Warlord Zsinj]

I can already imagine the overgrown muscly version of this for a heavy trooper of some sort. Sort of like that one CA spherebot derivative (warrior?)

[MidKnight]

They look much nicer. I want to see them with a realistic/grunge texture.

Bad dog

I didn't mean "Give it a grungy texture, it'll blend so well with all of the other units in your set!"
I meant "I want to see how it would look like with a realistic texture."

[smoth]

I meant "I want to see how it would look like with a realistic texture."

I AM GOING TO WRITE THIS IN CAPS SO YOU MANAGE TO CAPTURE THE VOLUME OF MY RAGE.

ALL MODELS DO NOT HAVE TO BE "REALISTIC"

EVERYTHING LOOKING THE SAME IS FUCKING BORING.

his models are doing a different style. TeamFortress also has it's own style and that is ok.



Not everything has to be grimdark



or realistic



I applaud agorms unique styling and look forward to seeing it in game. his models with the outline widget and some shader tweaks could make my work look about as good. It all depends on what is done.

However, you really do not have the right or knowledge to tell anyone how they need to do something. He has already done several models in this style. To try and tell him change styles now is stupid.

[MidKnight]

Yes, yes. I read the quoted post. I'm not telling aGorm to skin it in that style or to change his style. I'm just commenting that I would like to see how the model would look with 'realistic' texture. This is akin to me commenting that I'd like to see your gelgoog model in orange, with a flamethrower: I am not insinuating that you should makesuch a model and put it in the next release of GRTS, merely that such a model would look interesting.

so, tldr, I'm not asking him to do it in a realistic style, just remarking that it'd look interesting if done that way.

[Pxtl]

While normally I try to get Smoth to take his pills after his exasperated outbursts....

Yeah, everything he just said. I love the texture on that little green dude, and can't wait to see it on the new model.

[hamsate]

A smaller boat, I added some 'walls' to the sides, but they are no rails. Do the achieve the same effect? The weapons may be out of proportion..

[MidKnight]

I had a conversation with smoth about aGorm's model. Some choice quotes:

<[1uP]MidKnight> I am not asking for a realistic one ingame and never was
<[1uP]MidKnight> imo it should go ingame skinned in theme with all the other models
<[1uP]MidKnight> perhaps my first post in response to agorms model should have been something more like "That's neat! The new one looks fearsome, with the right texture, those things could either look adorable or pure evil. "
<[1uP]MidKnight> ...I'm commenting on how the texture could influence the new model
<[1uP]MidKnight> perhaps I should just ask for the model and the uvs

So, to aGorm:
Your model looks great! The texture is probably going to affect it's style a lot. While it should probably go into your game skinned like all your other units, I'm thinking that it's look pretty sweet with a realistic-type texture, too, just for kicks. Can I have the model/UVs/the texture you make for it, so I can play around with it?

much better, also u should add some more details to the weapons (esp. for the bigger ship) btw could u send me the data of that boat, i wanna try something with it?

[yuritch]

IMO boat looks quite good for a 'modern style' ship. They tend to have few details on them, with clean 'stealth' lines. Forward gun turret would be better fully enclosed in that case.

As for the small guns on the superstructure, those look like they need people crewing them. And maybe some more weapons are needed, something resembling a missile launcher perhaps? (unless the ship has vertical missile launchers).

Too much little details on a ship leads to this:

As you can see, it's quite hard to tell what of those details is what unless you zoom in closer.

[smoth]

seems I am not the only one with water on the brain.

Anyway, I am moving my image spam back to my forum...

so anyone wanting to see further progress will have to check here:

Those are actually great. Use rainbow colors for better distinction.

(Should prob have said.. work in progress... only torso and head and back are done... plus basic colours.)

[Warlord Zsinj]

Haha, very cute. I love the head.

Perhaps make the revealed metal areas slightly more glossy/chrome?
