Here are some new terrain textures I've started working on - new real-grass-in-the-sun tetxures and some new craters http://www.geocities.com/coolcolj/CCJ_TT2.jpg

Steve - I respect BTS's desicions I guess we'll just use our imagination Assuming wheatfield are modelled in-game though Problem is - CM doesn't leave much to the imagination...its all there in front of you CCJ

Yeah that's it make it transparent when there units in there! CCj

Here's another angle of the Dynamic Duo http://www.geocities.com/coolcolj/CCJ_tanks1.jpg They look great moving though Overhead view pic http://www.geocities.com/coolcolj/CCJ_TT1.jpg ccj [This message has been edited by CoolColJ (edited 02-13-2000).]

Major Tom - Like I said, any kneeling or prone units would have the area that they are sitting on cutaway. so you still can't see them I can visulaise it - and it looks cool, especially when tanks go through it, with their upper half protruding from it Actually if units fought from a prone stance, the wheatfield is still quiet good, since they really can't see you , and you are a hard target to hit with the wheat obscuring LOS. The thing is, does CM model units fighting from a prone stance within its fire engine? ------------------ CCJ aka BLITZ_Force My Hompage ----> http://www.geocities.com/coolcolj Double your immersion with my Tweaked Textures and Saving Private Ryan sound set mods for CM!!

You too can soon be driving around in this new STug! 90% complete piccie - very funky looking I must say! http://www.geocities.com/coolcolj/CCJ_Stug2.jpg CCJ [This message has been edited by CoolColJ (edited 02-13-2000).]

As someone who is moding the tetxures... I find the flatness fo the wheatfield rather disturbing and annoying Have you ever thought of making the wheatfield a 3D retangular box with textures stuck on the top and sides? Tanks and standing infantry can protrude over the wheatfield, whilst kneeling and prone units can have the area they are sitting on, cut-away. I think its a good idea for improved representation of a wheatfield, and what it does to LOS ------------------ CCJ aka BLITZ_Force My Hompage ----> http://www.geocities.com/coolcolj Double your immersion with my Tweaked Textures and Saving Private Ryan sound set mods for CM!!

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Germanboy: I am actually more impressed by the effect 'ear candy' has as opposed to eye candy - I guess that is b/c it is more noticable. Really like your work. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> That's becuase my tweaked Textures were just a tweak - wait till you see V2.0! I should call Hacked Textures The difference is huge!! There is this computer rendered look about it Believe me, when you see v2.0 - this will be the best looking wargame ever! Turn based or other wise! Seeing is believing It already sounds the best in opinion CCJ [This message has been edited by CoolColJ (edited 02-11-2000).]

Thomm - yes I've going flat out! German Boy - try out my SPR sound mod as well - it's worth the download! Colin - np Here is an updated version of teh "das Reich" Tiger http://www.geocities.com/coolcolj/CCJ_tiger7.jpg ccj

She-males huh? You have dirty thoughts Spook - feel free to give me any shareware gifts you want It's bags of fun seeing your textures come alive in CM - everyone should try it ccj

Or you can watch it on cable ccj

I noticed in the group move pics, one of the sides of that big building has a different colour to the others, is this intentional, or is it a booboo? ------------------ CCJ aka BLITZ_Force My Hompage ----> http://www.geocities.com/coolcolj Double your immersion with my Tweaked Textures and Saving Private Ryan sound set mods for CM!!

Funky New STUG!! Partially done http://www.geocities.com/coolcolj/CCJ_Stug1.jpg feedback on camo pattern please! CCJ

I can imagine.... Well I'm keeping myself busy - so no qualms from me ------------------ CCJ aka BLITZ_Force My Hompage ----> http://www.geocities.com/coolcolj Double your immersion with my Tweaked Textures and Saving Private Ryan sound set mods for CM!! Check out my music while your there!

Here you go! It looks cool since the tank dudes have peak on their cap Notice the mirrored tank numbers? Bummer One side of the tank is like that http://www.geocities.com/coolcolj/ccj_face2.jpg all these pics are available thumbnailed at my site in the Cm Photo Album in the Cm goodies section (not the one on the mainpage) ------------------ CCJ aka BLITZ_Force My Hompage ----> http://www.geocities.com/coolcolj Double your immersion with my Tweaked Textures and Saving Private Ryan sound set mods for CM!!

Thomm I must admit these new faces add a lot to CM, finally the infantry look just as good as the tanks -ya gotta see that "Das Reich" tiger with these new faces on the commnader and driver! I'll get a shot up. I'll be doing some new uniforms too, much better than my Tweaked Unifoms you see in the above piccy. Thomm what paint program do you use? I use mainly Paint SHop Pro v6.0 - I have access to a friends's Photoshop v5.5, but I feel PSP is much faster to work with, although Photoshop has the edge in image quality. It lacks that one thing I need the most (especially with CM) a directory thumbnail browse to choose which file to open! Hey nice Lara drawings - those Lara pencil drawings transfered beautifully onto the net, what scanner did you use? It has retained all the pencil qualities! Off course I have not seen the originals I have a vast collection of pencil drawings I'd like to scan up and post on my site - just need to find a cheap but good scanner...any suggestions? I know there are some people out there busting to get on these textures > not till the whole lot is done Damn I'm running a unique version of CM beta - and I love it - the images and sound - c'mon if those people out there say ear and eye candy doesn't matter, your fooling yourself!

OK!!!! My new Tuff infantry face! Check it - this looks cool! http://www.geocities.com/coolcolj/CCJ_Face.jpg

I'm gonna add something like this to my Tweaked Textures v2.0 too CCJ

Thomm thanks for your comments - bear in mind 75% of the stuff you see in that screenshot are not finished - its basicly a progress update pic But yeah - believe me its very difficult to do some of stuff you mention, and its not from a lack of trying. But I am refining my technique as I go, I really am a "rookie" when it comes to computer graphics! This is pretty much the first time I've dabbled in tetxures and things, I'm more a paper and pen guy Its hard drawing with a mouse! But I'm getting better That rock+stone building isn't finished, yeah I gotta define the rocks a bit better ANd yeah Jpeg comprression and the distance from camera don't help - I'll do a closer shot Haven't touched the corn field yet....computer game textures have their own rules, as you know I may be able to put the roof shadow in...check back tommorrow for an updated piccy I've got a new face coming... the face in my Tweaked Uniforms has improved contrast if you haven't seen it yet. ------------------ CCJ aka BLITZ_Force My Hompage ----> http://www.geocities.com/coolcolj Double your immersion with my Tweaked Textures and Saving Private Ryan sound set mods for CM!!

Panther has the repuation for speed and mobility - now I belive it! That thing moves! SOme horsepower tucked away there at the back, wouldn't mind getting that engine for a my car WOuld be a hard target to hit for any opposing tank ------------------ CCJ aka BLITZ_Force My Hompage ----> http://www.geocities.com/coolcolj Double your immersion with my Tweaked Textures and Saving Private Ryan sound set mods for CM!!
