We finished the Nod Buggy. You can see it on a 'w3d viewer' pic and on a dark map to show the lights we added. Enjoy.

If he says anything at all. Besides, notice how the lights are on the buggy? They could've been "tucked in" in Tiberian Sun, har har har.

Anyway, I dig the recent Renegade Reborn models. This is no exception. And personally, I like the lights on the buggy. Some buggies have lights. Those lights on the Nod Buggy look perfectly natural.

I like it except for one thing, the window could use something. Perhaps detach it and add a second pass to that texture and apply a reflective effect to it (use the Environment or Classic Env), those should work nicely (if memory serves correctly).

Edit: I think the texture name is something like x_reflect or something like that, I don't remember...

To get this out of the way, The blurry text is something wrong with my renegade display.

Slash0x: You think I would forget that? I got it on there. Razz It's not on those W3D pictures though.

Anyways, It's good to see you around again.

You should be using Dazzle headlights instead. They can be turned on and off depending on if you're driving the vehicle. The fixed Dazzle.ini is part of the RenCommando source files.
http://www.cnc-source.com/files/pafiledb.php?action=file& ;id=551

How to set up the headlights:
Copy dazzle.ini to W3D viewer, mod Data and Gmax directories.
Create a plane (not a box because the light can be easily misplaced, just see the Renegade Humvee) about the size of the head/taillight and in W3D options, make it invisible and choose Dazzle as type. You're looking for the following: REN_BRAKELIGHT and REN_HEADLIGHT.

Looks okay. Since the windows are relatively large on the buggy, the interior should be done, it doesn't look that good with solid windows. It would take a very small amount of polygons, about 150-200 polygons to do a simple interior.

Also, the model is missing another set of machine guns, in that cutscene screenshot it shows it having another set, it's a quad setup of machineguns.

We know. We can't add more or you will have problems to aim at infantry.

The window is black on the cutscene so it's also black on our model. Don't blame us for doing it like TS this time... Rocked Over

You don't have to make all of the barrels actual gun barrels, just edit the animation/model of the muzzle flash to have four around the center, instead of the one) and have it fire from the center of the four barrels as if it had a single barrel.

(Even if it had four actual guns, it wouldn't hinder the aiming, unless the guns were controled by the computer, it would actually help the aiming.)

I didn't say anything about changing the color.

Thats not bad.

There is something I dont understand about the skin is. Why does pretty much all of your skins have a metal plates jigsaw puzzle like layout? The back of the buggy, on the sides. You made it seem like to assemble that thing you had to put in tons of metal plates to cover it up. Seems pretty stupid for the engineers to design something like that. If I were you I would have made it a smooth metal part. That metal plate layout almost, just almost makes it look cartoony in really weird way, which i just cant explain. Try to reduce the amount of places to put that stuff in. It doesn't make sense to make so many small parts to make a larger part which would look better as a whole piece.

Also the tires from the cut scene look more like the tires on formula 1 cars. They look smooth. I do like side of the tire on the skin, looks pretty neat.

One more thing. The shell of the buggy looks like a 3 millimeter thick piece of aluminum. Seems like the slightest touch could break it. Some parts also look concretish. You just need to do a little bit more fixing up and it will look much better.

Good luck!

The wheels are spinning in the cutscene, how do you know their smooth? Since the buggy was all-terrain, it makes more sense the way in is originally modeled.

Yeah, you are right. That's because those were moving.

Not only that, but the "jigsaw pattern metal plates" on the side, are actually just a a protrusion from it. Look at the Buggy from all angles, and then judge it. And pay attention.

I would like to see a simple interior on these, though it's not a priority at the moment it can be added in the future.
