Mord Posted November 30, 2000 Share Posted November 30, 2000 How are your buildings coming along? I am dying in anticipation, can't wait to have the full set loaded up. Can you give me an approximation of when they may be released. Thanks in advance.

Lawyer Posted November 30, 2000 Share Posted November 30, 2000 I'm not dying, but I am waiting too. Those first buildings are awesome. I'll keep watching for them all to be done. Thanks for your work. ------------------ Only the Lawyer knows what Evil lurks in the minds of men.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzertruppen Posted December 1, 2000 Share Posted December 1, 2000 Thanks for the interest gentlemen. I am happy to announce that both the "city" buildings and the full winter version are now 100% complete. I have broken them down into two files - a summer zip and a winter zip. The summer contains all rural buildings, the two story buildings, the city buildings, the church and a stone wall. The winter version contains the full set as well. I sure hope everyone enjoys them. What program did you use to make these buildings? All the building textures were created with Paint Shop Pro 5. I use the same methods that designers use to create textures for 1st person shooters such as Quake and Half-Life. I would create a brick texture, a concrete texture, wood, etc. Then I would past them together as needed, add detail, and then weather the whole building. After that the battle damage was added, and then shadow effects. Very time consuming, but I think it was worth it. Can you give an approximation of when they may be released? I'm not trying to tease you, but the buildings are not quite ready to download yet. There will be an announcement on the forum when they are. I don't know the exact time, but it will be very soon. What's next after the buildings are complete? Vehicles? Terrain? Not quite sure. I'll probably take a break for a few days. There are about 45 textures in each set. As each was originally created at 1024x768, that a whole lot of textures to airbrush! To be honest, I glad it's finished. I may go after the pillbox and perhaps some of the lesser vehicles. Let me think about it. Thanks for all the kind remarks gentlemen. I doubt I would have made this whole conversion for just myself.

bfamily33 Posted December 1, 2000 Share Posted December 1, 2000 You have set a very high standard. I'm hoping we will continue to see a few more building mods. Can you give Kump permission to do a comparison? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Napoleon1944 Posted December 1, 2000 Share Posted December 1, 2000 Very nice. I would love to see French buildings for summer and German style for winter. Makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Vance Astrovich Posted December 1, 2000 Share Posted December 1, 2000 Man, just when you think the mods are as good as they can get, someone comes along with something even more impressive. Looks super. Can't wait to give them a "real life" look. ------------------ Capt. Vance Astrovich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
