Guest Tom Posted June 26, 2001 Share Posted June 26, 2001 Gentlemen , just a small preview of a new grass mod I am currently working on: View level 1 View level 3 View level 4 Note: due to the jpeg compression , the pics are very dark, but I hope you can see enough. My main intention is to create something that looks more like fields or meadows than simple grass ( take a look at the textures on the tiles to see what I mean ) I also want to have clear defined elevation lines since I play many games from view level 3. Your input is welcome ( and if there is a public interest I will publish this " S " grass mod in a few days ). Cheers Tom P.S.: Setup: Trees - Magua , Tree bases - DD ( edited ) , Sky - Magua , Buildings - Panzertruppen , StuG - Fernando ( edited ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Johnson-- Posted June 26, 2001 Share Posted June 26, 2001 Looks pretty nice, I'll for sure test it out. But can I get a hold of that Stug? Looks tight, or in German, Ser Gut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tom Posted June 26, 2001 Share Posted June 26, 2001 Mr. Johnson , it´s Fernandos Stug and you can get it from CMHQ. The only thing I did was to run the bmp´s through a " monotize " filter plug-in in Paint Shop Pro. You can achieve the same effect by simply lowering the overall saturation level of the bmp´s in your paint program.

MikeyD Posted June 26, 2001 Share Posted June 26, 2001 In order to do some 'before and after' screenshots for a friend's website I recently downloaded a fresh copy of the original (first batch) CM v.1 onto my computer. If you've been playing with 3rd party terrain textures for awhile it'd be worth it to do the same just to appreciate how far the look of the game has progressed. Amazing And if you're still playing with un-modded terrain RUN to your favorite mod site for new grass! The difference in game realism will be striking.

Viceroy Posted June 26, 2001 Share Posted June 26, 2001 Tom, that is just the kind of grass I've been looking for. I can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Commissar Posted June 26, 2001 Share Posted June 26, 2001 Yes, I like this grass quite a bit! Although it does have that "mowed football field" look, Im willing to forego a little realism in return for easily seeing depressions and hills on the ground from a higher view. Please do publish it, Tom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PawBroon Posted June 26, 2001 Share Posted June 26, 2001 It looks very good Tom. And as you can tell there are some takers for that tone downed Stug too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tom Posted June 27, 2001 Share Posted June 27, 2001 Hi Marcel , No need to publish the toned down versions , since the original mods are already there ! ( The whole " repainting " by using the mentioned filter is a matter of 2 minutes for each vehicle ). I guess I should write an article about the use of colour saturation filters for the CMHQ :eek: ( " How to mod the mods " )but I think you are MUCH more talented for this kinds of things ( Hint ! Hint ! ) Concerning the grass: there will be three new types of grass mods on my site 1.) The " S " grass as shown above 2.) A subdued grass very similar to the Desertfox gras , but with a more subtile ( " softer " ) texturing 3.) A " experimental " 16 colours only gras for low end PC´s. Dunno if someone really needs this kind of stuff , but since it´s done and there´s enough webspace .. why not ? The whole stuff should be up on Friday ( maybe earlier ) together with several other new mods ( Marcus please listen to my prayers !!! ) Cheers Tom P.S.: To all: Thanks for your friendly comments. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by PawBroon: It looks very good Tom.

lcm1947 Posted June 27, 2001 Share Posted June 27, 2001 I looked at the pictures before reading your comments and thought to myself - looks like fields. Excellent idea and I think it'll work just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
