Tiberian Dawn mod for C&C: Tiberium Wars

You can see our concept for the Obelisk here. Moddb.com It will be a TD-esque, but a play off of the Egyptian inspiration, as well as a mix of the high-tech material seen on the Temple.

As far as the light tank, we chose to base it off of the M2 Bradley IFV (Gulf-War era), which was not only referred to in the FMVs, but also documentation. We will use real-life military hardware as a basis for our designs where possible.

The Renegade X team is remaking/re-imagining Renegade (quite well, I must say). We are not; therefore, do not expect ANY Renegade designs to be used here.

As mentioned earlier, we aren't aiming to recreate the Hand of Nod 1 to 1. It cannot be "false" because we were not trying to make it exactly like the ingame sprite, which was basically a hand on a box - no detail and nothing interesting. It is still the main-aspect of the structure. This, you would have understood, if you would have taken the time to read where we are coming from.

Ever heard of something called creative licensing?

Do you have any suggestions to make it not "suck"? We made conscious decisions about it's look. We aren't copying CnC95 1:1 in every circumstance.

The size was one of those decisions, which was a compromise between the ingame and FMV versions. The reason being was that it's very squattly, spread-out look would cause it to take up an insane amount of space and would be very troublesome for the player to place in his/her base, especially given CnC3's non-grid build system. If you look ingame in CnC 95, the temple was only the size of the APP - not realistic, but certainly easy to find room for in the base.

Materials-wise, we decided to limit that techy-detail, because again to save space. The more detail we added in the model, the more we would have to shrink our UV maps or add additional texture maps, which - again - is not very optimized.

Yes, there are differences, but just because there are doesn't mean it "sucks". It would be wise to open your mind a bit and consider some of the logistics and creative individualization that we should be allowed to pursue.

A more spread out and better legs(colums at the sides) would make it look cooler aswell as a better front.

Why cant it be like there but in a miniature form as in C&C3?
you can see that in C&C3,the temple is too small and that even a single guy cant pass through the "Door".It does not even have a door.

Why? Because we want to bring the world closer to realism. That is one of the founding goals of the mod, and is something will will not compromise on. We may not be able to achieve true-size and proportion due to several factors inherent in SAGE but we will darn sure try to be close.

We want something will would conceivably hold everything the Temple would (see my answer to the Hand of Nod question above) and be a truly epic structure in size and scale, but not to the point where it becomes troublesome for the player. An accurate, but scaled-down version of the temple just does not convey that same sense of epicness. In fact, it makes it look ridiculous or something out of RA3.

Also, take into consideration our eventual goal of forming a "living battlefield" in which you would be able to see parts of the internals of the Temple during several destruction phases(interior columns or corpses of Nod Officers). While this direction is currently on the far back-burner, we still want our designs to be able to fit, which is another reason for the modifications.

Does this answer your concerns?
