Mr. Johnson-- Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 great, now just release the game already so we can get our modders to work on all those tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 I'm sure that makes Dan feel good about his work. At least let us play with the stock textures for a week or so before the modders come along and work their magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Dorosh Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 I can see no possible "improvements" over those models - just variations on a theme, in the areas of marking or weathering. Well done; congrats to the modellers and to Kwazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwazydog Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 Heya Guys...glad you like how things are shaping up! Thomm, will do...Im sure I had a perfectly good reason at the time but looking back I dont know why I did that, hehe. Considering Im working about 18 hour days at the moment I guess I did that one late Pvt Ryan, dont worry, you have to develop a thick skin in this industry, hehe. Besides, I can only do want I can within the time limts we have. I (hopefully with a little help shortly) have to texture something like 300 models, so Im sure there will some that willg et a fresh coat of paint. I am hoping to keep all up to the quality level you see here though, time permitting Dan EDIT : Thomm, actually its already fixed in the version on my system. I must have thought the same at sometime [ May 29, 2002, 07:53 PM: Message edited by: KwazyDog ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M Hofbauer Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 beautiful, both the models and their adaptation for CMBB. now for unneccessary nitpick: is it just me or do those tracks on the original models look just a wee bit too loose? I don't have any pics for comparison here, but the T-26 tracks on the upper return seem quite a bit loose, especially towards the rear. Such a mistake seems odd considering what a top-notch job the modeller did otherwise, for example check the highly commendable way he polishes the teeth of the tracks to shiny bare metal due to the wear of these areas.

Cull Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 BOING!! Really impressed with the quality and improvement over initial CM models. Heart-wrenchingly nice! [ May 29, 2002, 11:32 PM: Message edited by: Jack Arilliac ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Johnson-- Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 Oh come on, do I have to put everywhere. I've told Kwazy that I loved his work before. Infact the best compliment I could give him is I've kept some of his mods on my CMBO for a very long time, and include some of his models on CMBO mod CDs I make for friends.

In a way, you are right - the tracks are too loose. But that sometimes happened with this sort of sprocket/return roller track setup, especially if the crew didn't have time for normal maintainance. The tracks loosened up, which greatly increased the odds of throwing a track, especially in high speed manuvers. I've seen pictures of tanks with sagging tracks, although the T-26 is perhaps more exagerated than most. No way to tell if the model is based on a real pic or not. Tightening up the tracks, and/or removing some links was not difficult, only a lot of hard work and rather time consuming. If the unit was conducting intense operations, such work would have to be postponed, and could result in the effect you see displayed on the model. Hope that helps answer the question.

Runyan99 Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 Hey, is that a coaxial MG on the in-game T-26? It looks like you can see it from the right profile pic. After all these years of missing machineguns in CMBO, that is a nice improvement. Also notice the wire handle included on the side of the SturmIII.

Hexagons are still being used for gun barrels and other round objects. Other methods of generating a circular object and mapping a texture to it are probably too much of a performance hit for a number of video cards.Huh? Are the barrels not round in CM? I never noticed.. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
