A multi-turret body by Olrox

[Zarel]

Awesome!

Now work on getting those tracks and half-tracks models you did earlier, in game.

Hmm, those on my "New Propulsion Models" topic?
I was hoping to start retouching the body textures for AR next week (I've already delayed that some 2 or 3 weeks already )

Cool!

I have to second that earlier comment about it looking somewhat Mars rover like... Very cool style. Perhaps replace the current style of the super large bodies with this style?

Should mention that for a true multi-turret body, it needs to look good with one turret as well as two.

I've designed if for the front slot to looks like a cockpit when no turret is there. I'll get some screenshots of it.

Here are the screenshots with 1-mount usage. Note that the geometry connects the weapon mount with the cockpit. I can even make texture details to make a clear difference - I'll improve the textures in several ways, still.

I think that you should rescale the model a bit to lower its size. Also, black-yellow stripes look strange, can you replace them by something that fits overall design?

Ok, but I need to hear more people about this first.
I hope you understand

I daresay this new body is in itself Art Revolution quiddity.

Now this is a body befitting a Commander unit.

And, btw, even without a second turret, a Commander can be weaponized without any code changes.

Also Olrox, have you tried your modified Osprey propulsion model with this body ? Ah, the possibilities here thinking outside the conventional box, are dazzling, me thinks. xD

Thanks!

About the Osprey props, hmm, it'll take me some time but I think it's all worthy, yeah

I'll need to take a good look and see how exactly the propulsion models work. That shouldn't take too much time since I've already grasped the basics.

Right now I'm trying to extend my little modding experience to Silent Storm, mentioning it in some topic some time ago made me want to play it a bit

But heck, I haven't quite realized how much I can make just yet. Hmm, but I've already foreseen some things, very nice things already

Looks fantastic as is, cant wait to use it in game!

[Zarel]

Fine, I will opine: The yellow/black should be desaturated or removed entirely.

And the mountpoints look like they need to be scaled back - they probably don't look very good with small weapons.

I have to agree here, the yellow/black stripes look like warnings, and together with the light gray gives me more a "concrete hangar" than "tank" impression.

Ok, thanks for suggesting - I'll change those details in the next editions.
Hmm, but I didn't get what you meant by "scaled black", could you mention some examples or a pic on what you mean by that?

@wari - thanks for your appreciation! Unfortunately I'm not sure about how long it'll take for me to have a decent version (relaseable in matters of quality). I mean, the hover still looks weird, I'm not satisfacted with the standard propulsions and VTOL... I'll not release it as long as those don't interact with the model in a good way. Part of my personal quality-on-top-of-quickness policy. But hopefully it won't take too long

Anyway, could someone please tell me in advance if it's viable to make different propulsion models for each body? I don't mean making them different for light, medium or heavy bodies, just for super-heavies, because they are larger - would be nice to add differences between those even in the propulsions.
