Description
Khaotic Comrade has given us new textures to play with for the Imperial Guard race. He likes feedback on them, this is also eye candy.
Once again thank you, man!
Holy Awesomeness
Any news regarding female guardswomen models in 1.73?
She will be ingame because there are no illegal issues that goes along with it, the UA mod team had a talk with major people on Relicnews about it and all is okay, plus we're being let off the hook because it is just one model. :)
Cant believe it!
Love you all, No ****
While the quality of the rusty, cracked and aged textures is awesome i don't know if it fits well with the fact that these are newly constructed buildings (it would be odd for a recently constructed base with parts coming from the skies to be rusty/cracked).
Either way is a really good work.
the imperial guard are known to reuse what they can. although thats not terribly common. Maybe its a mobile unit simply meant to be traveling and reusing what they already got.
The 11th and 13th companies in my Fanmade IG Regiment are mobile Companies So I think that is perfect in lore as a subdivision of a Heavy Infantry or a Mechanized Infantry
The goal I tried to make was not to make them aged and cracked but rather more Gothic style, I have been working on these concepts for months and I had to fill quite a large order in such a small amount of time to work on them (They were requested for the next release). Hopefully over summer once I finish the semester I can revisit the concepts and edit them, I am still experimenting. Constructive criticism is always appreciated! :)
In my part Ive liked it
Will it have a better Team color Support?
I have yet to figure out how to make textures team colourable yet, which is why I only messed with the Imperial structures, as the team color feature on them was insignificant in comparison to other factions like the Space Marines or Tau, who's structures are practically reliant on the team color feature (Only the metal features are colored on Guard structures). I figured with the Guard's structures the forces of mankind wouldn't be as concerned about cosmetics on their bunkers while preparing for an offensive or defense.I do, however, understand the significance of the team color feature among the community, and will see if I can fix it over the summer. As I mentioned before I was unable to make the time to give perfect textures, they are basically just beta textures atm; but Lord_Doofus found them to be worthy enough as they are, understanding fully that I am incapable of the team color feature as of right now.
I understand
Once the texture is finalized doing the team colour for the buildings (in this case) would be alot easier, specially if you did some of the texturing work on different layers and have an image file with all the different layers stored. When you have the time to do that, if you want you can contact me to get some details on that kind of work.
For a gothic feel i would advise you to try and make some decorations, specially on the walls, like those you can see on gothic buildings. A google search could provide you with awesome ideas on that area.
Like i said the quality of the textures is already good but it lacks a bit on the imposing feel gothic buildings usually have.
Write what you want to know. I now have more free time, I will try to help =)
Hmm, one could say that these buildings were initially deployed elsewhere and have been relocated, so i can't say i really mind it.
A similar rusty/paintdamaged look that did bother me was from Supreme Commander 2, i mean they're building units right on the spot and then come out of the factory with paint damage??
this looks really nice and how is the progress with the mod?
THIS IS GREAT!
The weathered textures looks fantastic, they entrench a sense of war.
DAT texture!
Incredible, I really love more the IG!!!
Great job man! It's a pity I was not able to participate in this)
