This vehicle needed an a new model. You will now see some smoke coming from the bottom part of the hover mrls.

You might notice that the colors are darker than the original model. It is done on purpose like on many models. The lights on Reborn maps combined with those vehicles will give some pleasure to your eyes...

Somehow, I really doubt that.

If I make it like on the render ( lighter ), it will look bad in game. I say that because I tested it... Darker would be even better.

It looks very nice. I Love the new model , Did permagrin do that?

The only thing I can really Say I don't like is the lack of texture detail. Like screw's and bolt and such. Similar to what dante says... Magic does'nt hold it together. Razz

I don't like how it looks just like a Micro Machine toy that has little plastic missiles ready to fire...

That still looks like plastic, and the areas that don't look like concrete. What you tried to make into mud looks like plastic embedded into concrete...

That doesnt look like plastic at all. Plastic is shiney and smooth.

Not really, plastic can also be very dull. I should know, I happen to have a collection of Micro Machines and none of them reflect light well, if at all.

The rest of that model looks like concrete if it doesn't look like plastic. The missiles even look like cinderblocks.

The rocket launchers should be wider, the missiles shouldn't stick out, the tips should be recessed slightly. And, the ends of the tubes on the back would look better modeled in, they look way too painted on. (This wouldn't add that much more polygons, and if you're going to have the front of the missiles/tubes modeled out, it would make sense to model the rear of them out since those are seen a lot more and are quite noticeable.)

Also, the rear end of the body looks way too thin, the top shouldn't go down that much.

Edit by YSL: Off-topic; simply difference in opinions.

I personally think the MRLS looks really good, but Sir_Phoenixx is right, the rear of the missile tubes looks a little weird, although I think it looks fine with the missiles sticking out a bit from the launching tubes.

Keep up the good work.

Metal isn't covered with rock shaped noise, like that MRLS is. Hence why I called it concrete.

Confused

That doesn,t look much like a Hover MRLS. It doesn't have a TS feel to it.

The model looks wronge in some places. The exosts on the top isn't beveled correctly, the cylinders on the bottem should be longer, the chassis looks small lenght wise.

Texture wise...

The base texture looks very dull. The cammo should be more contrasted. There should be red lights behind the "8" at the back of the chassis. GDI logo should be bigger. GDI logo on right side is inverted. The vents at the rear bottem should be the same colour as the gdi colour, and not grey. The missile racks should be darker. Texture on some edges and corners dont look very good (UNWRAP Problem). Last but not least, like Aircraftkiller said, it looks like concrete.

Fixing those errors should make it look a lot better.

Tther than that it looks ok.

Here is a picture of the Hover MRLS from TS.

It looks good to me. Doesn't look very plasticy. I do notice however several problems with texture resolution. It looks like a larger part of the texture was devoted to the sides than the top of the front. It looks of a much lower resolution than the sides. Same problem on the base of the cupola, the gra part. The texture looks so very low res there that it reminds me of Sim copter. Very Happy Anyhow those are the only minor problems I see, over all great job all those who worked on it.

Overall I think it's good. There are a few aspects of the model/skin that could be better, most of which Sir Phoenixx has already pointed out.

Something that I would add of my own is that the warning stripes on the side of the vehicle don't look worn away enough. The colours are too bright, like they've been newly painted. It would look better if the paint was more faded and scratched.

Also, I don't see how the bodywork looks like plastic. Maybe it looks like it's been made in a 2d graphics program, but that isn't surprising really. Only the best professional games look anything like real life.

Edit by YSL: Off-topic, in response to above.

If you actually noticed what I was talking about, concrete and metal can seem similar with a few properties one of which is NOT concrete chunks. Metal does not look like that unless someone took an axe, or a sledgehammer to it. And I doubt a sledgehammer will really damage a Hover MLRS like that in Tiberian Sun's time period.

Model is great, maybe the texture looks a little little bit like concrete, but the thing that concern me is why do the missiles have nipples on them?

Please refrain from trying to rationalize another person's reasoning for criticism. Opinions are opinions for a reason.

Doing so only serves to derail the thread and has very little to do with the topic at hand. I really feel that this thread can be salvaged, so I'm going to move all off-topic posts to the silo--I'm sick of seeing all Reborn related threads get the lock and chain.

And I quote Havoc 89's post--his opinions reflect mine a great deal. Personally, I always compare these things to the render, and that's the basis for my opinion.

Thx isn't a word. Thanks is.

You wouldn't get comments about it being plastic or concrete if you took the time to improve yourself and follow the suggestions people give you.

If you comment on how it looks with my adjustments and possibly how to improve it, i would appreciate it a bunch.
