Actually, he's exactly right. Look at the reference pic - the posts continue under the bridge, as they're the supports.

Also, the texture on top should be the concentric rings of cut logs.

Hardly ridiculous.

The idea of his post was to nitpick...it's a mimic of the first picture, it has no relevance to the game itself (as far as I know) unlike the actual truck.

That's why his post was ridiculous.


whoa.

No. I was not trying to start shit I was simply stating my thoughts on the scene. If I wanted to start shit I would have pulled out the same bullshit lines given back and forth for the past months. Unlike others around here I have moved on, I have no need to bicker over such petty things. If they dont want to fix the bridge, then they done have to. It surely will not effect gameplay at all.

The bridge is ingame? If it is then I completely mistook your post. Confused

Lol, anyway, how about making the top of the wooden supports look sawn off, instead of having bark cover it. And some wear and tear on the road, like dark areas where tyres have constantly driven over. Also, I think the supports could be spread out a bit more, this would be more accurate to the reference, and would also reduce the number of polygons by some amount.

Just looking at the reference picture, the hood appears to be longer lengthwise stretching away from the cabin. In the model, it is shorter and wider.

It's the number 11, on the rear of the shell and on the sides of the crane.

The posts are spaced fine, if they go smaller, they're too narrow for ships to pass. Too wide, and it looks fake. The posts are not covered in bark, it's simply wood with seams and indentation in it - just like the render scene.

Well, you seem to have twice as many posts in your render than in the reference picture.

Which posts? The bridge supports, or the actual posts? The bridge is of undetermined length which means I can add as many or as little of the posts as I want. The bridge scene never showed all of the posts, and it only showed one support beneath it.

I duplicated it as best I could from only a single image. You find me more of it and I'll add different things to it, otherwise it's not being modified anymore.

holly crap, picky people lol. I don't know why it has to look indentical to his render picture, hell if he didn't even supply it, not many people would even be able to compare it between the other, therefor there wouldn't be so many people picking at things that surely wont change.

I think there has to be some originality in every model, or map i see, otherwise it just doesn't appeal to me, so adding things that aren't in the picture, is a good bonus, for me.

I don't think those posts are really to spaced together either, because those pictures aren't from ground level.


Wah, the wood isen't the exact same color as on the reference, were all going to die.

Each of the posts in your reference picture continue down through the bridge and into the water.

The bridge supports just protrude above the bridge level. You have the protruding portions above the bridge, but with no supports underneath.

most of it looks like plastic, more details than a plain grey and green texture would be better. Just scale some parts and it will be ok.

Retardin, it doesn't look like plastic. Just because he uses that insult on your textures, doesn't mean that you get to say it about the RenAlert team. The truth is, your textures DO look like plastic.

I overall liked it and say that it doesn't need a change unless you want it to be almost exactly like the picture. And in the case of making it look exactly like it, the model is unproportional. The wheels should be bigger, the hood should slant down, and the front should be smaller.


Yo, No_balls430, you really shouldn't insult Renardin just for the hell of it (or cause you're an ACK fanboy or whatever).
It is a known fact that ACK constantly makes (or made in the past, since I'm not talking specifically about this model) plastic like textures. I've never seen ACK saying it about Reborn (though he probably has said so... whether as an original thought or copying someone else's words, I can't say), but I have made the same criticism to ACK on previous models (like the Jeep), after which he fixed the textures.

So get a clue, and don't insult people for no reason.

ACK, he's right.
These are not just poles, they are the supports portruding on top of the bridge, and the render from the movie actually shows that (two supports, not just one). At the lower left corner of the picture where you clearly see one support, there's also, if you move a bit to the right, a solid object that continues past the brick line - another support right under the next pole.

And since we're already on the subject, it does seem as if the MCV would fit between two poles/supports. Although, granted, it doesn't matter since, as you say, you can put as many as you want there, arbitrarily - as long as you understand that they are not just poles, but supports that go above the bridge as well.

The way you worded your sentence, implies that making him shut up was a good thing, therefore making EA a good thing.

Clearly, Sir Phoenixx, that was a spoof of HIS own insult. Because of his own insult.

I just give an opinion not a bashing. Before making such statements, just read Renalert Medium Tank thread here...

Oh wait I will quote myself :

Renardin6

nice model, very good texture.


So now, you know you are wrong. And I didn't insulted you for your mistake. Chill out dude.

Even if the poles go down into the water, I'm not making them that way - simply because I want ships to be able to pass underneath of it, otherwise the bridge is simply a hinderance to naval combat and doesn't allow more tactical strategies to be played out.

I think it would be a nice idea to make the supports go in the water, but to also make the bridge destroyable, and create the animation in such a way that boats and sumbarines will be able to pass through once the bridge has been destroyed.
