Welcome to this week's blog. I'm really rather shattered at the moment from all the intense coursework deadlines. (I redid my entire graphics coursework within the space of 24 hours, 11 A3 pages so far). So yeah. But we have some cool stuff for you to see nonetheless.
Model Updates
Thought our Apocalypse Tank was good? Think again. I'm currently upgrading the model so that it will truly be the icon that it is meant to be.
Click for a nice image of the current Apocalypse Tank.
So here is a work in progress shot of the re-equipped Apocalypse Tank so far.
I have also been preparing some new resources to harvest. That's right! New Ore! This will be used in both AR and APB with textures to come from Venompawz :) They are just like cheesy peas at the moment though.
Finally, to go with the ore we have the Ore Extractor. This model has been endited and finished off by me. Chevy787 is currently unwrapping it. Check it out.
Animations
You may know that we are planning landing zones for harrieres so that they will automatically deploy the landing gear when they get close to an Air Force Command HQ. This will trigger an animation (there is a video of the legendary boxplane around somewhere).
dtrngd was taking a look at how these kinda of animations can be triggered for almost anything and has produced two nice experimental videos which hint at some of the future possibilities.
Team Notices
Breaking News! The Soviets are back��‚��€�this time on American soil. And their mysterious mind-control technology is turning Americans into mindless automatons faster than a season of back-to-back Jerry Springer. Take up arms for the Red, White and Blue........ or just the Red. Whatever your allegiance, Command & Conquer: Red alert 2: Apocalypse Rising pushes the frontier of FPS/TPS/RTS hybrid gaming. In other news......
Coursework is handed in, for now......
cfehunter is back on XP, so he'll be getting back to work as his compatibility issues have gone.
We have a new staff member! Give a big warm welcome to DannyCon, who has joined Bluehell Productions to make models and textures. His help will be greatly appretiated and will help to propell both projects forward and an ever increasing rate. Also, to top it off, he is british! Another one of use on the team can't be bad! He has begun by making a start on the Allied Harrier, expect some news on that soon :)
BogdanV returned to us briefly with a staggeringly awesome new feature that he had managed to accomplish in the game. We aren't going to show you just yet though. It is really quite special.
Dutch Sunshine, an avid AR & APB fan, has translated APB into Dutch for us. This means that dutch fans will expect a version in their native language. In the fufutre, AR will also be translated into dutch, so watch this space.
OWA's Community Support Shed
No one approached me about mods this week. So I can put what ever I want here.
Red alert: A Path Beyond is curently showcased on the official EA C&C site (proof). Check it out at commandandconquer.com
Next up is a cool, real life RA2 Tesla Coil..... but stylised :c00l: Check it out at tesladownunder.com
Finally, assassin over at C&C Source put up an awesome, official storyboard depicting two tesla troopers playing poker. Check it out here.
Closure
We are closed, sorry. Please return next week for more stuff.
