Nice pictures that may be used in Ta3D

This is better than OTA's movie.
What about TA3D's Campaign movies?

And worse in future days, I have a 20 hours train in 12.28, and will have some free time after that... But really so much thing to do for TA . OTA mod, bugs fix, TA3D's crash test, and games

It does not matter. We can use vertex reduction

Awesome! 5 Ultra-HD PeeWee's with Strong Vertex reduction which looks like a block! *sarcasm*

I have an Idea.. Might Culling + Level of Detail would make those Ultra-HD Units be able to set on the Game?

Because As far as i know the farer they get , They will be less detailed And it get only rendered what the Player 'Sees'

so it wouldn't cause huge FPS hit when the Ultra-HD Models get used

correct me please if i am wrong

[zuzuf]

But it would increase memory foot print which is already not that small. We probably don't need HD models in game because geometrical data is far from compact if you only want to add details to the model's surface. Using bump maps and/or displacement maps is much more memory efficient (using distance mapping - cf http://http.developer.nvidia.com/GPUGem ... ter08.html - you could achieve the same level of details with less memory and a much higher frame rate but this requires a shader capable video card).

In progress....

"Bob: Hey john what is this?"

"John: Balls of Steels?"

"Smith: No its a chopped of Core Commander head."

[Balthazar]

Buhehehe

[Balthazar]

Dunno, maybe can be used in Ta3d

[zuzuf]

it could make a transition image between two missions in a home made campaign

Why not Looks very professional to me.

[zuzuf]

Nice, I think I am going to pack them into a GAF to replace original campaign logos

[DOT]

OH PLEASE TELL ME THE TREES ARE REAL RENDER!!
is it REAL?


or something drawn? :S but it looks quadro awesome!

Waow, this raytraced commander is nice

Video of units that are ready.

[zuzuf]

That's quite impressive ! Those models have a really high level of details but they keep OTA general look and feel (it's still machines with a basic topology) which would make it possible to convert them to low poly models with some bump/distance mapping

(see http://http.developer.nvidia.com/GPUGem ... _ch18.html if you don't know what that kind of effect can do ).

[Balthazar]

What for? Ta3D already do have more detailed units that it have to, so there is no need in more detailed models.
But pathfinding and units interaction are steel need improvement.

[zuzuf]

We don't have HD models for all units . Most arm units are still lacking, most core buildings too. The free data set is far from being complete. Also having details would be great for First Person view .

[Balthazar]

Gameplay would be great for first person view, as well as for perspective view. There are still many bugs left and pathfinding and AI lacking perfection

[DOT]

Wow this Core Commander looks like a huge super funny plastic made from toyhouse annihilation :mrgreen:

[milipili]

Wow ! This should be very expensive to build

[xpoy]

every time I see this, must said greeting..
but what's new ??
