[[New Faction Proposal] ] PLAN Marines

[Aquiller]

Forget the flamethrower, not worth the effort.
I really like this idea of PLAN Marines, but I also agree with Rhino - it doesnt really need to be a new faction.

some WIP's of ZBD2000 Chassis:





Nothing much to see but it's actually almost done

Yeah, I realize there's some un-smoothing grouped surfaces and what not. I need some rest

[HughJass]

..aren't flame throwers against the geneva convention?

IF its against the Geneva convention, the Napalm should be against it too.

[Solid Knight]

Do you think China would really care if it was?

[PRC_Heavy_Z]

Do you think ANY country really cares? Anyways, please stop the discussion regarding the flamethrower. If you want to talk about it, make your own thread.

EDIT

ATTENTION ALL TEAM MEMBERS:

I need you to PM me with ANY progress on you've made on your current assigned task (.max files, .dds / .PSD etc). I need them as soon as possible to submit to the red tags and get officially approved.

How's the uniforms going?

[Tomato-Rifle]

The type 82 Grenade

[Z-trooper]

Current state: ~1K tris.
Finished state: ~4-7K tris without clutter
Texture estimated to 2048^2 custom pallet, diffuse, bump (with spec).

HZ, do you still want the .max even at this stage? :/

[PRC_Heavy_Z]

If you can get me the .max file that'd be best. This is not a final evaluation, just to show we are making progress and probably also to receive some tips and advice.

Looking good by the way

good start Z thou the hull etc is a little low poly.

Make sure you talk to me on xfire or msn soon, the sooner the better really.

[/quote]

it looks pretty good, but looks pretty damn high poly, whats the poly count?

[PRC_Heavy_Z]

Poly count for the grenade is currently 3922 more than 2x recommended. No worries, we'll get it optimized.

BTW, this is the grenade the PLA Should be using.

[Rhino]

yep, I would say you should aim for 3k polys MAX for the 1p model, then 3p optimize it LOADs so that its something like 500 or 1k polys.

by this I mean taking off all the ridges etc, in 3p no one will notice and you can have a separate 3p texture that is small rez thou providing your 1p texture has all the shadows of the ridges etc you shouldn't need to do that.

[Rhino]

Tyep 071, like it says in the bottom right

[Stryker Machine]

Sounds great, but is it Realsitic ? As PR was created for more realism, im not sure if this is very realsitic, but you have my moral support guys, good luck !
