I was saving this for an update, but it seems every time that we have an opportunity to get on a roll with making models and release a big update, something goes wrong.

Anyway, this is the Nod Obelisk of Light. Modeled and textured by Gregory Mirles.

Never mind that your reference material isn't being followed completely. Here's why that looks bad:

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yk0A8Z73KHU/ThNH5F67yZI/AAAAAAAAABU/iUIF2yZ5U_w/s1600/udkBuilding02.png

Compare that building in UDK with yours. Tell me what's different in terms of texture quality, detail, fine detail, geometry quality, etc. Then tell me what's wrong with your model. I think you'll figure it out in a few seconds, and hopefully you'll press your guy to spend more than a few minutes developing it.

Well the building has no doors or security lamps in the reference material, but I do agree the proportions are off, I noticed it as soon as I posted it. As for grime or dirt, I was hoping for more of a "bright and shiny future" look to it. I'll definitely have him tweak the model some more. Excellent points as always, thanks for the advice and the building picture, maybe it will give him a good idea.

Around how many polies would you say a LAW should have?

Doesn't really matter as long as you give it LOD to allow its detail to drop down if needed.

Quick question. Is there a door on both sides of the Communications Center, or just at the front?

Because it's a nice way to pass the time? Because it's something I feel like doing? Because I believe that people would enjoy playing it?

Anyway, I'd like an answer to my question if at all possible...

In Renegade there is, but I doubt you'd be able to see if there was on in CnC95, lol.

That's the problem, I can't see it.

It looks like there could be a door on the other side, but it could also just be a wall.

So I'm trying to gather a consensus.

Well like I said in Renegade, there's definitely two entrances. It wouldn't be very smart to build a structure with one entrance, anyway.

Well that's true, but I'm trying to think of how the interior would look with two doors instead of just one.

I can't think of how a MCT could be placed without it being too easy to attack.

EDIT: Should there be two levels to the Communications Center? I can see something like that being in the Advanced Communications Center, but it seems a little too much for the normal one.

So I want to find someone who can import our models into the UDK and decide if the poly counts are acceptable. I also need someone who knows how large the texture maps should be.

I'm not entirely sure what specific job title I'm asking for, can you guys help me out?

So, with the Advanced Guard Tower, should we make it look like the in-game version, or the WW render version?
