Tanks a Lot Posted August 13, 2001 Share Posted August 13, 2001 I'm adding the finishing touches to my large building mod. It replaces all 6 large buildings including the church. I should be done soon. Here's a preview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximus Posted August 13, 2001 Share Posted August 13, 2001 <baseball hitting bat> "It's way back, it could be, it is a homerun!" Tank, man those are truely superb. Love the second to the last pic. Love the vine-age too. Makes for that good Normandy feel. Not sure about the church. Looks too light to me. However if it does look right with all the buldings together, go for it. Just looks strange by itself in the pic. Still not sure about your roof textures though. I use them, however I'm thinking about reinstalling Panzertruppens.

Tanks a Lot Posted August 13, 2001 Author Share Posted August 13, 2001 Thanks guys. I should be sending them out in a day or two. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Maximus: <baseball hitting bat> "It's way back, it could be, it is a homerun!"

What don't you like about the roof textures? I lightened them twice since my small buildings first came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Commissar Posted August 13, 2001 Share Posted August 13, 2001 Im afraid that the building textures presented by Panzertruppen, who stood valiantly on my computer screen from their first release so long ago, withstanding all the assaults against it by usurpers like Magua's Normandy, have finally reached the end of its long and glorious service. This is truly magnificent. To quote that infamous prima donna, "I love it...so help me God I love it so!" However, your buildings seem to stick up from the ground more then Panzertruppen's (most other building textures showed the same trait, except no others were as good as yours), which explains the long life of Panzertruppen's work. I simply hate that "box on a soccer field" look all buildings in CM have unless they are on paved ground. Here's hoping CM2 sees BTS fix or do sumfink about the issue.

Hanns Posted August 14, 2001 Share Posted August 14, 2001 I'll definitely be downloading these buildings when you're done. The only thing I dislike is the white flag. It's cool on that building but the problem is on a large scale map with many buildings you end up with 20% or so of them with white flags. Looks a little stange to me is all. Are the roof tiles simulating slate? Looks very nice. Hanns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Panzer Posted August 14, 2001 Share Posted August 14, 2001 ...if I may be so bold - some food for thought... ...formally speaking, the white flag, although wonderful in its conception, loses its potential due to a fitful lack of dynamism and perspective, as a result, it looks rather silly in comparison to the remainder of the building – seemingly an afterthought at best (please, note hanns’s sound point regarding the specious number which would appear). also, do you plan to add any weathering effects to the shutters/window frames? at this point, they read as overly clean/stylized, which I am assuming you would like to minimize as much as the models will allow... ...aside from that bit of carping, the soot above the broken window, as well as the nazi poster are fantastic nuances, both welcome and well executed. what’s more, I especially admire the way you have been rendering impact/scorch marks from the early going (your small building textures set a new standard in regard to repainting structures)... ...will you be issuing winter versions at some point? your work shows a good deal of promise. not only that, it is refreshing to see somebody attempt to squeeze as much vitality as possible from the 2D surfaces, even if some of the endeavors are less than convincing. I will be sure to keep my eye out for the completed versions... [ 08-13-2001: Message edited by: Peter Panzer ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see what I can do about the shutters and window frames. I'm planning on re-doing my small buildings next. They were too dark and I would like to make some other changes. If I haven't gone crazy and climbed up my own church tower carrying a sniper rifle, I would like to do winter versions after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcm1947 Posted August 14, 2001 Share Posted August 14, 2001 Nice work Tanks a Lot. Yes I will enjoy the game a little more with these building. Really a nice improvement for the game thanks to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russellmz Posted August 14, 2001 Share Posted August 14, 2001 i got it mostly figured out: one or two heavy building will be replaced, leaving me with magua's originals and tanks'. the medium sized building may be added depending on how it looks with the others, de-throning one of panzertrup's. the church is now tussling with magua's normandy church(i may even cut and paste and make a hybrid to get the best of what i like in each, but unlikely).
