CoolColJ Posted April 19, 2000 Author Share Posted April 19, 2000 Well Its my first attempt, and I'm going to do another set. Imagine playing Cm with graphics like that! One day ....well I'll give it my best shot at making sme textures that get close to that ------------------ 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!!

CoolColJ Posted April 19, 2000 Author Share Posted April 19, 2000 I just uploaded a slightly improved Jagdpanther wallpaper up on my site in my new art gallery page Access it from the main page (click on the right hand pick or the index link) This time its logo-less and I rendered it in 3 sizes (as opposed to shrinking it down) 800x600, 1024x768 and (for you 19 inch monitor freaks! ) 1280x960 Feedback please ------------------ 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!!

Spook Posted April 19, 2000 Share Posted April 19, 2000 Very well, then, sir....... First off, VERY nice blend of colors for the Jagdpanther. You've done better with your computer graphical art then I've seen from about 80% of armor plastic modelers. The single critique I have with the vehicle texture is that it MIGHT look better if the highly-raised vehicle detail (like the rim around the gun mantlet) has a slightly darker edge to it. Kind of a judgement call, but that's something you could try. Another recommendation is to adjust the background setting. It's a good idea to include some houses (especially those which you've tweaked), but for now, the Jagdpanther's profile seems to "blend" with some of those houses right behind it. That would make sense from a combat point of view to "blend in", of course, but it MIGHT distract a little bit from the overall vehicle image if you seek to bring focus on the Jagdpanther. Perhaps some trees/hills/sky behind the vehicle might help focus its profile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimJack Posted April 19, 2000 Share Posted April 19, 2000 Excellent work CoolColJ! Your JagdPanther is now on my desktop! Will be downloading the tweaks and mods for the demo tonight to try them out. Will let you know.

CoolColJ Posted April 20, 2000 Author Share Posted April 20, 2000 Thanks for the feedbacke guys - SPook the points your brought up are good - I didn't think about any of those points I've just been reveling at the joy of rendering Its a one fo those feel good feelings watching something come alive in front of your eyes I'll get back to some more of that feel good stuff ccj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spook Posted April 20, 2000 Share Posted April 20, 2000 Revel on, man. I certainly look forward to your work as it progresses. And from seeing your earlier treatment of infantry (the appearance of which is CRITICAL for me for my immersion into CM), it's a certainty to me that your own infantry renditions are going over the BTS ones.

CoolColJ Posted April 22, 2000 Author Share Posted April 22, 2000 Well its certainly is the funkiest looking The JagdTiger was too big and heavy, the Jagdpanzer looks weird. The US stuff is under armoured, but the Soviet stuff is pretty decent That's my analysis ccj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getthat_wreckoff_theroad Posted April 24, 2000 Share Posted April 24, 2000 CoolColJ what have you decided to do with TweakedT v.2 - are you gonna release them ? They look STUNNING (v.1 was cool but not too radical - I dont think they were supposed to be). I was wondering how your modified church looked in the game - I noticed it had a kind of tower at the end - does this look a bit odd at certain angles seeing as this is a flat texture ??? SPR sound was great by the way - esp. sound of infantry. Some good screams in there. Any plans to modify sound even further ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolColJ Posted April 24, 2000 Author Share Posted April 24, 2000 Tweaked textures v2.0 will be released after the Gold demo comes, and after I see what else I need to do with the new texture system. I might skip v2.0 and go direct to PhotoReal Textures v1.0 for the gold version The Church looks fine, it works really well. In fact even at acute angles, it still maintains a nice 3d look. Re the sound. Yeah I'm going to do a new mod for the sound. I've learn't a lot since then, and in retrospect I would have done the sound rather differently. I have some new techniques to do even clearer crispier and punchier sound, while getting all the sounds to have a consistent sound character and ambience. But its a lot of work either way Don't expect anything soon after I get the final game Wait till my honeymoon period with the game is over first I'm still dreaming at this stage But I must say Lightwave makes some really nice skys ccj [This message has been edited by CoolColJ (edited 04-23-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
