Work in Progress

Post by PicassoCT »

Well i am currently UVW-Mapping the Last Mountains and the Textures within the Trenches - and i am sitting over colourstudys and drawing a Skybox.

The Grass and the Railways are still SelfiLuminated
Image

Planned use of Features:

Smoth Houses to form a city Complex were the Black streets near the MainBase are
Lathans Barbwire Feature is going to be used Massive (forming Frontchockepoints and on the "Ilands" between the Trenches
-Geos, i will use Geos to make some Smoke Columns in the Center. As there is going to be Artillery Battle anyway, it will be just deco, not useable
- Smoths Chopped of Trees were Artillery has just "first" Hits
- Dramatic Dead Robos (Lathan is currently working on)

Also Planned (Photoshopwork) Blood in the Craters in the Midlle

Oh, and a Colourstudy
Image

I could need some help.

Especially a good Metallmap - with Settings supplying enough to keep a Trenchbattle cooking all the Time, but not enough to make a SM Version out of it. I always mess this up - and would really be glad for every kind of support, even a hit on the head.

Also helpfull would be -> Wishes for the Skybox, i will try to keep it in WorldWar Style with massive Artillery, but there is much Space in between to fill. Suggestions ?

Thx for Reading and Replying

Beeing Busy is nice, beeing busy is fine - but sometimes you just need to relax, make a Campfire - and toast some Robos with Marshmellows over it.
:wink:
My Map can wait... it`s like with Good Wine. If you forget it long enough, it gets that taste of oak, water and Glykol, and if you wait even longer - voila - Vinegar. So, let`s sit here and wait till Lathan is unbusy again. Anybody knowing a Game, anybody knowing a Game not named TA Spring ? That can be played in Forums to past the Time ?

Lathan, if i do the molten Robots in 3dsMax- and send them to you as 3ds - UVW-Mapped - could you put the finnishing touches on them ? Much lesser Work for you, and i wouldn`t have the "Pic-moddeled-it-Qualit-Gap"

Wow! :o That looks great. Only thing that comes to mind is I think the flames and such could use a bit more reddish glow in areas. Its truly a piece of art.

Made some Modifciations on the Trenches [/Joke]
Inspired by Hydrixs Puperty Map ... The Center Section of the Wall is easy to destroy -also the Bridges. The other Parts are solid...
