Warzone 2100 Forums

It was a small bug
I've fixed it, should work for any animated object like cyborgs too. I'll post current snapshot later...

It doesn't really matter since its "a hexadecimal combination of flags" where 0x10000 toggles TCMask.

Animations look to be using team colours correctly now.
Thank you I-nod I have been trying to get the team colours on blderik.pie lighter but I can not.
Are the colours blended differently on the animations?

Looks to me like you need to change the baseplate on the power generator as it is still the old one.

Its about team colour mask... Regards Berg

Actually it is about new models that use tcmask and the power gen model's baseplate was and still is kinda funny.

Pie files and texture pages for Power gen

I did not include the base texture as i like the old one better.
With TCmask

PS. This is not a mod just the basic files.

New factory with TCmask it is very similar to old factory
I again did not touch the baseplate here are the files.
It is not a mod just the bare files for trunk

Nice open bay!!! looks great. Does it open when unit comes out?

No its perm open
I need to learn more about the png animation and how to make it trigger when a unit is made.


regards Berg

I don't like it open when it's bare like that. You can also see in a number of 3D/cinematic shots that there's a lot of stuff going on during production so having it empty like that just looks weird IMO.

It seems to me that you'd either have to have a whole construction thing going on inside or better leave it closed.

close door

Much better.

New research centre I Probably need help with a lot of my textures.
As before this is not a mod it is just the pie files and texture
Base plate not included

Nice idea for the structure, but as you say, those textures need a bit of help

Berg: That's all very different, cool and interesting work your doing there.

I stay away from discussions about what "fits" with the original WZ stylings - though I understand the practical needs involved.

As for texturing.....

There are millions of self-proclaimed 3D whippersnapper artists that can whip-up a really nice geometry in 15 minutes flat and will tell you as much with little or no prodding. However, if you ask them about texturing their models, they'll hem and haw and say "We'll texturing is not my forte so I don't really do it but if you know a good texture artist I'll work with 'em". Give me a frackin break. Texturing is the greatest artistic challenge in 3D modeling.

Anyway, I gladly give you much props for texturing your geometry and presenting it here for all to check out.

It's can be a tough learning process (which is why many whippersnappers shy away from it, I would guess) and I think sticking to it, like with any art form, your texture craft & artistry will grow by leaps and bounds.

I definitely do not consider myself a dig 3D artist (though I do make dig movies) but I'm am a classically trained painter and can appreciate the adapted application of classic 7 layer oil painting technique to dig texture creation. It's very powerful craft that BTW, IMHO, Olrox has deved beautifully in his work and written a very detailed, step-wise, tut on (your probably aware of that already but I just mention it for the newer folks in the community who may not be).
