Blog 47! news

Heya guys and girls, welcome to this week's AR Blog. As usual, we have some cool stuff to show you :) This week's Blog is an all Soviet special!

Terror Drone

I made a few modifications to the terror drone to get the model you see below. The dome is slightly transparent to reveal the inner workings of the drone. I think it looks kinda like a Metroid now, lets see what you think.

I just had to put it with the Apocalypse Tank for coolness factor.

Soviet Ore Refinery

Merovingian has nearly completed modelling the interior to the Soviet Ore Refinery. This is going to be a nice structure to walk around because a lot of detail has been put into the features.

This structure probably won't have an MCT but a total of three building weakpoints which all have to be destroyed for building destruction. (Two furnaces and a key pipe section).

Here are some images of the new conveyer belt with a safety net for catching the ore and funneling it down to the furnaces.

Flak Trooper Reporting

I showed you the conscript last week bu with a few edits we can transform him into a Flak Trooper. Flak Trooper's need the visibility to sight the oncoming air units so they don't use a helmet. However, they are equipped with an eyeglass target system for making those precise shots to strike down Allied air units.

Look familiar?

Team Messages

The release of APB Beta was a huge success! There are a few nasty bugs, but that doesn't stop the new version of APB being a lot of fun :)

I've offered to help the Reborn team get their stuff up together. I'm currently doing the string table, so if you see a weapon name that you like, be sure to thank me :) I also recently got a Bluescreen on my computer, but Eggman891 helped me climb back fro it and I didn't lose anything. Big thanks to him for the advice.

APB's texture artist, mjfabian, has come to our aid and has started texturing the Soviet Flak Track. Be sure to stay tuned in for updates on that.

dtrngd has started working on a new infantry-only map, RA2_Rocky_Pass.mix. Expect to see some WIP shots of that in the coming weeks.

Soviet_Deso is texturing the Allied Chrono Miner and the Allied Grizzly Tank. Expect to see some work from him soon! At the rate things are getting done now, we should have a fully textured set of vehicles for the first release fairly soonish :)

AR is standalone, if you didn't know.

Tankmaster is making us up a new website. Expect to see that in action soon.

Home Time

That brings our blog to a close for this week. See you next week for more of this.
