Hello everyone! It's been about two weeks since we relaunched Petrolution with the new articles system. One lovely thing from this articles system is how easy it is to publish new articles. You share your knowledge, help new and advanced modders to learn new tricks, get recognized by your knowledge and you can end being spotted in the frontpage once in a while, because I'll be picking and spotting the coolest tutorials shared here in the news.

So far we have 9 tutorials, which is a good number for a start, although we must be realistic to know that only 5 were submitted by the visitors of the site and only 4 of them are really new.


Today, we are going to spotlight one of the tutorias from Dr. Nick with his Basic Skin Tutorial. While this tutorial already presumes that you made a Confederacy Trifighter and doesn't provide you the model to practice, it shows some interesting tricks to skin this unit. In the end, your skin can look like this, which is quite detailed:





And there are other interesting tutorials to take a look at:


-> Creating an Icon, from Drieick. It shows how to create an icon, convert it to DDS and pack it with Mike.nl's MTD Editor.
-> Death Clone Tutorial, from Dr. Nick. It shows how to make a death clone with timed explosions. Mainly focusing on the animation part, on 3ds max.
-> Making use of sound effects, from Drieick. It shows and explains the tags related to sound effects, with a quick example in the end.



And finally, Drieick has updated his excellent tutorial that Explains how AI works on EAW/FoC, some days ago. It is so far our top rated tutorial and really worth to check it out, if you wanna play with the AI ingame.


And that's it for now. Wanna be spotted in the next news and help the modding community for Petroglyph games to grow? Share your tutorials with us and make a lot of modders happier around the world.
