I think the texturing needs more tank detailing. It seems that the camouflage texture was simply applied. A little detailing would make this a better than good eye candy

[Cboidy8888]

agreed

and what is the weird cloud behind the tank? (not the barrel smoke)

Grab the Video

Some screenies, featuring other vehicles. Without textures however.

Errr, I don't get your point Dexter...and the T-90 looks more like a T-72. I'm positive because no matter how aging the T-72 is, I love the tank.

[Dexter]

Right, T-90 is based on T-72. As well as the model.
And my post didn't have much of a "point". This is a picture thread, so i post pictures.

very nice video! i like the graphics but you could do with a new muzzle fx. mind if i make one?

[Dexter]

Ask Alex. Probably he just didn't make fx adjustments, since this video's only purpose is to showcase a model.

As for T-90 - i've made this model using T-72B drawing, however i've modified it after. Probably you know - there are no accurate T-72 drawings at all (which is wierd, since there are lots of high-quality T-64 and T-80 drawings). Here's the comparison between my model (without T-90 stuff) and T-72B photo. Probably i've made some minor mistakes, but i think i am still pretty close:

[AlexArt]

Well, yes that video was made only to demonstrate a model.

Here's more updated screens allowing to look at the details




We do not need fx artists. We need a 2d artist/skinner

agreed

and what is the weird cloud behind the tank? (not the barrel smoke)

It's an engine exhaust.

realy nice alex but don't you think the recoil is abit overkill ? it almost flips over

[Indigo]

I have to admit that I have an untrained eye for good texturing, but I would say this is an improvement. Might I suggest some dirt as well?

[Cboidy8888]

when i watched a tank video, i compared and found the recoil looks more normal than i first though..........

[AlexArt]

Well, I've forgot to change the recoil value... We're working on the models, so I don't have enough time to code.

Yes, some dirt should look realistic&nice.

No, recoil has to be changed

[Cboidy8888]

hmm but definitely make it more than it is in vanilla generals/zero hour. recoil just looks way too small in vanilla generals/zero hour

[AlexArt]

I also like when in vanilla Generals huge tanks approach each other at 20 meter distance and start firing point-blank.... =)

Here's a good blueprint for T-90
And here's another variant I guess, it's called T-90S

EDIT:
I would strongly suggest blueprints for reference...

Well, all models have been made in accordance with blueprints, sketches and other working drawings. We shall continue work with those sketches.

[Dexter]

Both of those drawings are based on a very inaccurate (check the length of glacis, it's rediquolous, especially on the first picture) T-72B drawing, and i happend to have all three. Both of your drawings represent basic T-90 version, you can tell this by exhaust and tracks - this is the only difference.
Well, and generally there is no need to give me anything, i have about 10000 photos and drawings in my own collection. Still, thanks for your help.

[Indigo]

Cool, can't wait to see the skinned T-90

BTW, I really am excited in your realistic Chinese units

[AlexArt]

Well, our next work will be skinning of ZTS-96 and ZTS-63A, their renders will soon appear.
After finishing of Chinese tanks, we'll get to T-90 and chinese APC.
