Subject: 3D Models Hi Guys, Sorry, I've been very quiet recently! I thought I could post in the coding forum, but I'll out this here instead so apologies if it's the wrong area. Don't get me wrong, I like the graphics of MAXR, but what do you guys think about adding 3D models (pre-rendered or even real-time) being added? So questions I would have would be: 1. Would this annoy anyone (that has contributed artwork for example)? 2. Are there people with skills in 3D Max, etc. that could use models? 3. Is there capacity within the team to actually do it? I only ask because I noticed that this 3D Model Pack was available: https://www.turbosquid.com/...3ds/666504 It's just an example, but it has many of the units in there and if someone was to license this on behalf of the project, does anyone think that it could entice new players to the game? Would existing players like to see modern 3D units prowling the battlefield? It's probably me just having crazy thoughts as always, but I would be interested to see what you guys think? |

Subject: Re: 3D Models I think if you can adapt them to make them a little "futuristic" then it's good. In my dream, clans may have a different units model, or maybe when an unit is upgrader over 1000 gold it could has a different graphic. And more variety into buildings! yayyy I'm not in the team neither made 3D graphics but... 1. no problem; players can already play with original MAX design. We could have an option ingame to use the design we desire. But, if you also mean to transform the game into a 3D game... Hmmm... maybe an isometric system would be okay but... oh, wait, it's $1500 |

Subject: Re: 3D Models >> or maybe when an unit is upgraded over 1000 gold it could has a different graphic. That is an awesome idea! I love it. My thinking was using the models to render 3D vehicles into 2D objects, but keep the overhead view. It wont have any impact on gameplay, but might make the game appeal to new players and / or just give players another set of skins to use if they want to. The only issue that I can see is that the graphics for the landscapes might need to be upgraded as there would potentially be a clash with very detailed / accurate vehicles and a reasonably basic 2D landscape. I'm not suggesting it would be true 3D; that would be very difficult and basically M.A.X. 2. However, I'm sure there could be options. The cost is not an issue if there's the ability to pay for it, which might be possible if the Devs think there is any potential to using these models in MAXR. I guess we'll just have to see. |

Subject: Re: 3D Models It does not work this way. It's not good thing to replace only half of unit graphics. It looks really weird when 3d tank stands next to 2d building. Either we find complete set of models, that is suitable for MAX, or leave it as is. Consistency is good stuff. Maybe it is better to find an artist for the same money (or even more) to make models exactly for MAX. And it should be a complete set of models, with every unit included, not the partial one. |

Subject: Re: 3D Models Quote by WittZi: That's mostly me and no I'd not be annoyed. I made this with my poor skills because no one else was around.
Quote by WittZi: We do have all the unit files as 3D models. It's mostly about proper rendering.
Quote by WittZi: Hell no. Keshm started to make new very great looking renders but disappeared before finishing all. He also never pushed anything to the repo so no render actually made it into the game. This happens often sadly. He probably lost interest or sth. Not complaining here since he wasn't payed or sth

Subject: Re: 3D Models Hey Draydak! Nice stuff! Can you describe (or show in a video?! ) at what point you are with your game? Looks pretty nice so far. Glad the models get into some use Cheers! |
