Next part of work has been finished in September. I'm glad to represent you results

1) Stryker models I was talking about in change log were fully completed

All these vehiches belong to Air Force general. Left one is called "Bobcat". It is engineering vehicle, which disarms mines and cleans toxins with radiaion. Middle one is called "Eye". It is mobile target designator. Its main purpose is to increase attack rande of Pave Low helicopters and second role is to increase damage. Highlighted target recieves +33% more damage. And right vehicle is "Hydra". It is EMP artillery. It has long reload time and can not fire on the move. But it can disable valuable target at distance. It will be very helpful when dealing with ECM tanks. All 3 vehicles are available at rank 1.

2) New target designator defense has been fully finished. I shown you the model of the building (Colossus), but new Sparrowhawk gunship was missing. This is it:


Sparrowhawk with Colossus in game:

Gunship takes off automatically when enemy comes close and can not be controlled manually.

3) New super unit for infantry general has been finished. I decided to replace old battle fortress with the new Suanni fighting vehicle.

!!! Great Models, the new Infantry super-unit looks awesome!!! Can it fit the same amount of infantry as the original?

The sparrowhawks look good also, but what do they fire? Do their missiles lock onto targets? I assume they also have machine guns...

The Stryker models compare to the troop crawler ones of tank general. Nice work!

Suanni model made me laugh, it looks... cute but fearsome at same time.

Suanni is a chinese mythical lion who like fire and smoke. You can see his face on side of incense burners, people believed that he'll enjoy smoke to the fullest. So, Creator meaning maybe "Fearless Lion" because Sakyamuni nicknamed him that name.

1. Suanni will wahe 10 sitplaces for infantry
2. Sparrowhawks fire high explosive missiles.

[xenomorph]

omg this gets more epic by the minute that fortress looks like it can roll over a building how big is it compared to lets say an overlord? twice it size?

[Su8perkillr]

It looks like a box Uberlord, anyone?

[gundamwen]

It looks like a box Uberlord, anyone?

Yeah, it does look like a big box, It looks very similar to the previous "Xuan Wu" battle fortress, now, it turn into "Suan Ni" battle fortress, Well, it is good to see something new.,

Suan Ni...

No, they have the similar sound, Suan ni here is written " 狻猊“ ， In myth, it is one of the nine dragon's sons . It sounds a little strange as a name for a weapon. but it is Creator's choice.

Again, good job.

I was curious about how you create renders? Is it a GMax extension? I was curious on how to make them.

[Casojin]

Nice...the Sparrow Hawk looks like an alien gunship. Cool anyway.

Again, good job.

From what I know, dcesarec (he made the Suan-ni) uses 3DMax.

Yes,models,but i dont make renders,altought i have try to make render too.It is possible in 3ds max.There are a lot of stuff with renders (such as effects,enviroment etc),and good render can be made.

I use 3D Max. I put skylight on the top and and grey box under the model. And I render using light tracer then. The render comes a bit dark. So, I open it in Photoshop and adjust levels and saturation.

By the way, I make unit icons the same way. I make the render in 3D Max and cut the model from its shadow in Photoshop. I make the shadow transparent and put a picture from Internet on the background.

Something just comes across my mind. If the mobile target designator increases aircraft range, will SLID retain this ability? Or does this one only increases Pave Low range?

[Creator]

It increases Pave Low range only now. F-16 was remade again. It was turned into EMP bomber and is not affected by target designator any more.

What about SLID? Is it still there?
