New Republic Base Shield image - Rise of the Mandalorians mod for Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption
The Empire has fallen and a New Republic is born out of the conflict. But in the ashes of civil war, yet another life stirs...
New model and shaders for the Base Shield Generators, starting with the one for the New Republic. Each faction will have unique models for all buildings (no recycled shieldgen, power plant, comms center, etc). They will all be *similar* so as to make them easy to identify while playing but will be styled in the manner that's typical to their faction within the mod.
The shield bubble itself is three meshes to give it a better shield effect like seen in TPM. These include a base texture, a normal map/distortion texture to give that wavy "energy" effect and a layer that uses my new fake-fresnel shader to make it glow around the edges.
And Jeroenimo, if you comment on the poly count...
So, if someone else were to comment on the poly count...?
Have you seen Dirty Harry?
Can't say that I have, but I'm sensing a disturbance in the Force. Might be best not to comment on the poly count...
Seriously though, great looking model.
"You might ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky? Well? Do ya punk?!"
Thats where that iconic quote comes from. Right before clint Eastwood puts a .45 round through the guy's chest. Lol
Dirty Harry's gun fires .44 not .45
Its actually a pretty nice looking model. The fuse of both functions is pretty neat
Thanks! Actually took inspiration from the base shields in Star Wars Commander. Prolly the most grindy mobile star wars game in history...but some good art styles.
Some units in Star Wars Commander are pretty neat looking, like the Elite AT-TE For the rebels that hopefully I can try to make some time. I hope also to see some more obscure units, like the Correlian Air Cruiser you've made from Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds. Its nice to see some mods shed some light on the old game vehicles, like AOTR, Dark Grazi's models, so on and forth
Agreed. Love when modders add the little, forgotten units that haven't been in another mod before.
By any chance, do you have any plans to create the old TIE Cruiser for giggles? I've noticed it hasn't been made for EAW before. I've tried making it but I can't even get the wings to properly represent what they look like from reference photos sadly.
Not for the mod, no. I will probably make it as a modder's resource later though, just for fun.
That would actually be pretty cool to have, hope it happens!
This shield effect looks amazing!
Unf! You really know how to activate my particle barrier.
Love those NR infantry units btw!
oooeh thats hot
Too many mods neglect base buildings. This isn't too fancy, but it still adds a lot of personality to the mod I think. And the new shield effect is just sexy.
Thanks! Yeah, most don't do them at all, probably because they are a lot more work than one would think. You need the building, specific animations, damage states and a static death clone. Plus, my mod is going to have weather variants so ones on snow worlds will be covered in snow and those on desert worlds with sand. Lots of work...
Holy good ****, that sounds insane!
Thanks all!
