The gold has an texture allready,but the render option fails in showing up the texture.

@Bolt:I'll be looking saturday on doing something.
@NMS:oops,i'm gonna fix that
@WG:strange,I tought that they looked more realistical,but i'm gonna see what can do.

[some_weirdGuy]

was that in relation to the grass or the odd dot?
cause the old grass looked much more realistic

[OmegaBolt]

The grass is similar to Ra1 grass (Though Ra1s isnt as bright). I'd love to see a fully complete Ra1 style terrain set for Ra2, closest i've seen is RAPDs and it looked very awesome.

[Romanul]

you say it would look better if it would had been darker?

[OmegaBolt]

Probably not darker, but duller.

[raminator]

use less blurry textures

[Romanul]

Update



Yeah,I know there aren't any ingame pics,forgot about grandpa's birthday,so just worked at the soviet airpad
Dont worry about size,it will be fixed.

[OmegaBolt]

Looks like your trying to copy Mad's original one... oh and personally I really hate airpads facing that way. Doesn't look finished but for improvement of the base you could make it less square and remove parts around the pads or add some pattern or something.

[Romanul]

Give me 5 minutes(or 4 like madonna wants )

And,yeah, I couldn't support the fact that Mad's old one wasnt finished.

So I created an Hybrid between his 2.

[some_weirdGuy]

are you going to be redoing every factions things? cause if not you are going to have miss matched styles

see that soviet building doesn't really look like any of the other sov buildings, but if you re-do every thing's graphics, no only will it not matter, but you will have all new graphics to boast about

[Romanul]

Better now?



Also,WG,its pretty hard to recreate exactly Westwood's textures and models.
Thats why there is liberty of expression around here.

And recreating the whole sides is possible,but not for the moment.

Update nr. 2 for today:



Some apartment blocks,with some trees around.

I'm gonna look these days at Kalim logo,few misc. models and I will present the storyline behind the Kalim.

Hello, I was away i nthe weekend...Nice buildings! Really nice, unique style!

[Romanul]

Thanks.

I was thinking at creating an more advanced battlefield for the mod,something like urban guerilla,where destroying buildings you receive money,capturing some you receive help(upgrades+units)from the civilians etc.

For this one,I was thinking at some little base(captured=get an defense).

[some_weirdGuy]

yeah, i know its hard to replicate WW style.

thats why i was asking if you were re-doing everyones stuff, cause they would look very good if they were all the same style...

[Aro]

The base of your buildings stand out a bit too much, they raise off the ground when they shouldn't (not on civilian structures anyway). Remove the base, and I guarantee they will look better.

[Gosho]

Aye. That building looks better. But like I suggested - practice a whole lot more on your textures to get better results.

And you urban idea - go for it!

[Romanul]

Yup you're right



Looks better.

Now where did the inspiration come for secret's building?

From his apartment.
No kidding.Living in an former comunist state really helped out.
Google images is nothing beside seeing something in reality.

[partyzanPaulZy]

something for inspiration:

SK concrete tower blocks of flats (panel buildings) without reconstruction

CZ reconstructed tower block of flats (panel building)


I don't remember on any building looking like this abroad (I saw these just in the Czech republic), sorry for bad image quality (mobile phone):

Its remarkable how quickly you've picked up 3D modeling. I never learned that fast.
