On another note, I'm tired of hearing about how my Mammoth lacks "detail" (such a nebulous term if I've ever heard one) so I'm unwrapping it again and preparing it for Mudbox painting. I'll be completely re-painting the tank, and may create a set of alternate textures for you to use. I was thinking of some neat little platoon designs to add to the tank to give it some character.

Something similar to this:

http://img332.imageshack.us/img332/7002/markings1dx.jpg

I'll also create some graffiti for the tank in the form of troop messages. Like writing "Suck on this, Kane!" or "Your Hand of Nod is no match for my Tusk of Mammoth" on the barrels, or whatever a GDI soldier would think is appropriate.

I'm also planning to recreate the Guard Towers from C&C95 and make them "Renegade style" so that the lack of a visible gunner shooting at you won't cause a suspension of disbelief. I'll try to get a beta test out tomorrow while I'm painting the Mammoth.

Sounds good man. Can't wait to see how it looks.

I've always thought it would be cool to have tanks roll out with a unique identifier on them. This is likely to not be in the scope of what you're trying to acheive, or even able to do, but it's always been something I wanted to see in renegade.

Additionaly, I would like to see tanks affected by their environment, get dirtier, snow settle on them, battle scars etc

Maybe you can write a plugin which will do that. Check the environment it's currently in using the texture identifiers (dirt, snow etc.) and then apply a new texture to the vehicle (e.g. little dirt, more dirt and very dirty).

As for the battle scars, same thing, but use their health bars. At 75% for example, apply a slightly damaged texture. At 25% a heavily damaged texture and at 10% a critical damage texture and smoke emitters. Would it be possible to attach an emitter to a vehicular bone whilst in-game?

Just a quick theory on how it might be possible, but I don't think the engine is flexible enough for one to actually achieve this.

I've gotten the turret and chassis unwrapped and I modeled some additional details, such as connectors that hold the wheels to the chassis and bend with the wheels as they move up and down. I also remodeled the jerrycans on the back of the tank's turret and chassis and made them rounder and more realistic.

This is roughly an hour and a half worth of work in Mudbox. As usual, there's a bit of work left - I want to get some fasteners and rivets placed on the turret in some spots. I also want to add a hatch to the periscope on top, and I need to make the end of the turret look slightly burnt and worn. The paint needs some ripping up in certain areas, but I'm stopping here for the night, since it's nearly 3a and I'm really quite tired.

Looks nice. The top of the turret looks to smooth might just be the render.

It's a screenshot inside Mudbox. I have all the lighting turned off so it's self-illuminated. The smoothing is preserved inside of Max. Wink

I've finished the turret. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I don't think it really needs any more details other than what it has now, but if anyone has any good suggestions I doubt I'll ignore them.

I've been working, but it's a busy week. I'll probably touch up this Mammoth Tank some more tomorrow when I wake up, but this is pretty much the finished product, sans treads. I'll paint those separately. The jerry cans on the rear of the turret need to be re-painted since they're odd compared to the ones on the chassis. Other than that I'm pretty happy with it. Tomorrow will mainly be small details that I overlooked today.

With the Mammoth nearly finished, I can get back to work on Fjord again. Will probably start on the new Guard Tower after this.

that's pretty sick
my only question is what's the doofy black thing on the very top of the turret? it's a mini turret of some sort but it seems out of place

It's a periscope/thermal viewer/view port of some kind. Here's the original tank from C&C95 for comparison:

@ACK, your mammy caused me to drool all over my keyboard so I think it's only fair that you should buy me a new one. Big Grin

@liquidv2, I dunno when I looked at it I saw a scope and it looked perfectly in place.

Maybe a reddish glow or tinge on the glass of the scope would make it look more menacing?

The scope is hidden behind the protective front piece. You'll see it in-game.

Can't we just state that the scope is used for the heat-seeking missiles it fires?

No, because it's a viewing port. Wink

Here it is, in-game. I had to re-rig it since I changed a good part of the model and didn't feel like exporting it back to RenX, so I did it all in Max 8.
