I just tried out practicing on a typhoon sub I may need to flatten the top though so I can bring out the missile doorways

also need to get rid of that pink

Also working on that battleship so I hope to have that done soon

any tips or criticism is ok

I'm gonna get a pic on the voxel viewer cause its a bit hard to see all of it in game

heres a better pic

Well, for a first tryout that is pretty good My first medium-scale voxel edit was fixing up and re-doing an Allied MLRS that Firestorm made. It took a very long time, but it had a rather nice result

It's nice to see that you took my advice on-board, and have decided to try and do something for yourself for a change. Everyone must start somewhere, and you've taken your first step forward.

As for the pink dots, go to Scripts-->Colour Scheme--->Others-->Kill (2-25) and (239-255) Colours. I also recommend lightening the fins, black doesn't look too good in-game. Colour 58 (0x03A) is a better colour.

Tail fins are nice also

Heres my 2nd adjustment

[TX1138]

Change blue to dark grey, and change the orange to remap. Blue and orange in-game doesn't work well at all, the blue would turn pink, and the orange... well it would look better as remap

[SSTG]

Yea I thought it kinda reminded me of the sailors baking eggs on it so I changed it to 58 as well as the fins I'll change the blue while I'm at it

[SSTG]

heres the current version starting to look good I was worried I'd make it look too much like the typhoon

[SSTG]

And heres the battleship



still have some tweaks but I like how the depth charge launchers on the sides turned out

[SSTG]

Ok I think these are near complete but depends if I can find some places I could add on the battleship the Sub I need to fix up where the faction colors are

Well I've tried something of a concept for my Deathray tank the 3rd faction has but I used the voxel known as the Mental Tank and added a few things I dunno who actually made this one I just got it from YR argentina so let me know if I need to take it off or anything



Ok the mental tank was made by Mevitar but just let me know if I should take it off or anything

That battleship looks pretty good. Do you think you could put an in game screenshots up perhaps?

[SSTG]

Yea I'll put that on later to show

[TX1138]

The mental tank was made by Mevitar

[SSTG]

Ok I did a auto normal on the battleship and something went very wrong when I tried it in game so I gotta fix that up with the battleship

Sub is pretty much complete



Deathray tank looks good just little small

[TX1138]

What version of VXSE III are you using? The latest version is 1.36, and can be downloaded here. It comes with a new auto-normaliser that should fix the normals problem

[SSTG]

AH that helped alot! my sub and tank look alot smoother

[SSTG]

Ok here is the 3 better normals they look alot better





though I must look in to those black spots they've got on them

Black dots are where the engine renders a gap in the voxel, so the dot is the voxel on the far side showing through. Fixable by adding another layer of correctly normalled voxels behind problem areas, or changing the bounds so the voxels are actually possitioned nearer.

Poor autonormals are often a result in actual gaps or holes in the voxel. So long as the voxels "closed," the normals should fit the outside contours, whilst older versions (methinks, Banshee would be able to explain better and without mistakes) could normal the inside, so the outside would be wrong.

[TX1138]

I think what Jeeves is trying to say, is that you should fill in the hollow inside of the voxel Don't remove redundant voxels, it will just give you more black dots!

[Jeeves]

You make it sound so simple

[TX1138]

I guess that's why none of my voxels have black dots
