Kitcheners corner
« on: November 16, 2009, 08:09:20 am »
Greetings,

I wish to make a WWII Mod for SFCIII, this is purely for personal use and will be quite simple. How many non trek models do you gents know of that would fit into my mod?

Thanky you all in advance.

Forgot to mention that this can be as funky as you like. I would like this to be WWII with a twist. So normal tech and silly tech like german lazer blimps etc.. 

Think Red Alert 3 and you may see where im coming from.

Thanks. (why do we have to put in security questions on every post, thats just bloody stupid!!)

There were some airships floating around a while back (check sfc3files.com) but otherwise? i don't think so.

as in airship blimp types?  that would work, I can make my own ships but before I started I just wanted to see what was already out there, including maps that would make it look like the sky and stuff.

Im also unsure on the weapons and how that works etc, but im looking forward to all of your experianced input to prod me in the right direction.

Also, we have some meshes that could be adapted, like candle's fighter (once he releases it).  ;)

This looks like a good skybox tutorial. Terragen makes some great scenery!

I was doing a lot of things. . . I have been dealing with Interstellar Gizmo for the past year, in addition to baby food, she eats up a lot of time.

All of those fantastic space back grounds that I had are gone, poof! Sorry.

Cozbo the creator of Unity and TOS mods was thinking of doing a WWII naval mod but the fact that you can't make the turrets turn stopped him from thinking it a enjoyable project.

That and ship stacking make it hardly worth the effort. You have to go with sky or space, or under water.

Thank's everyone. Lots of good information coming up in this thread. Interstellar Machine those newer models look fantastic it inspires me to do some things.

Hey, if i want to make a transparent object should it be a planar object? if so will it show when flipped? such as an antenna sticking from a building? or should it be a really flat poly with the texture applied to both sides then "alpha'd" like in the tut by IM.?

Its ok Interstellar Machine i worked it out..

Here is a preview of the allied HQ for my mod. very early image here.

Allies in this mod are US (+CANADA) & UK 

X Axis (enemy) Soviets, China (Korea) and Germany

I want to build the bases in less than 1000 polies with 1024 maps, transparencies and reversed polies used in full to their adv  :smitten:

After this base is complete, I will start the enemy base and then the map.. I would appreciate your help with everything. designs, ideas and criticism is welcome  :angel:

Might need more runway room - but still pretty awesome.

Quite right, and adjusted, I want to add transparencies to the air control windows and detail the interior..  so i will add a planar image on a cross section to show the interior at at total of 4 polys, is it better to alpha channel the windows or reverse poly them? on the sfc engine?

SFCIII will only render one side of a polygon, so, if you are doing an antenea array, you will have to have polygons on both sides.

Love the air base!

Actually - keep it as it was before - but don't make that a hanger, make it some sort of command building. If you wanted a dedicated hanger and landing strip, i would do something like this:
