That's because it doesn't suck. He randomly chose "foam" thinking about how you call Renardin's work "tonka toys."

I must say the second photograph of the thing looks a bit foamy, but I like the model fine. On the WW render one of the things is being hit by a Tesla Coil, which they couldn't in Red Alert. However, in RenAlert sometimes the helicopters fly very low over the ground, which looks silly when there's a Tesla Coil next to them. Will the Tesla Coils in RenAlert be able to hit helicopters, if they fly low enough?

You may as well ask "If I drive my tank up this ridge, will the SAM Site shoot me?" (uhh.... Ridge War?)
Actually, it's not such a bad question

Wow, you found a toy Longbow, too bad besides that it has no fucking resemblance to ours what so ever.
You guys amaze me, "foam," lol. What's next? "OMG ur radar jammer luks like scissors!!"
|
Yeah, amazing. I can't remember anyone saying something like that before. Come off it, you guys deserve some of the criticism you've been getting for the way you reply to anything Renardin posts about Reborn. There's no attempt to be constructive and absolutely no respect for the fact that quite a lot of work will have gone into whatever the Reborn guys have made. All that you're getting is a taste of your own medicine and guess what... you don't like it. That should tell you something about treating others the way you wish to be treated yourself.
On a side note, it seems to me that one of the requirements for joining the RenAlert team these days is to start acting like a complete asshole on the forums.
|
So if we go around telling people our honest beliefs, we should expect them to whine and complain and lie just to get back at someone for what they said earlier? "Oh no, don't tell the truth, they'll just do the exact opposite with you!!" :rolleyes:
Retardin's work looks like plastic, I continually tell him why it does and how to fix it and like usual, they never do anything about it. I take the criticism I heard before and used it to make this, which took about 12 hours of work over three days creating a very lifelike vehicle imitation.
The Longbow in reality even has a sort of toyish appearance to it. Why? It's painted in dull olive drab, standard military paint schemes. It holds down the glare of the steel components and makes it a little less easy to spot in the sky, or in a forest clearing while it uses trees for cover.
Mine is meant to emulate this, along with a quick paint over some dirty burned areas from the engine exhaust.

The texture would be ok if you were using an game engine with advanced lighting capabilities. You could just paint a monotone colour and the engine would do all the shading. But Renegade's engine can't do that.

It took way more time than you think it did, but at least my basic metal wasn't made with a bunch of filters, not to mention that I didn't even have access to the UVW map of the Original Ranger. I have to agree tho, it needs a lot more work.
I suck cock and love it... absolutely love it. And I just got banned for being too immature to be allowed to post here.

The model is good, but the main body of the skin is sort of substandard. It's acceptable by Renegade standards, but most of the Ren Alert vehicles look much better than this. I hate to fall into the category of the people who say "It looks like foam" or "It looks like plastic," but it doesn't look like steel. The attention to detail is nice, but overall the skin doesn't give off a very convincing look.

Instead of concrerating on tiny bits, you should work on the base which actually makes it look real.
You can't stick bricks on a tiny nail. You need a better base to place the bricks on.
Another example: You construct a F-18 Hornet and put all kinds of gizmos to it , but you forgot the most important thing: the engine which actually makes it work.
