Tiger I

nautil · Mar 30, 2006

Airplanes are good, of course, but for a change i decided to try myself at tank modeling. My first attempt was Panther, that to my great frustration was already in the game. But this time it is absolutely new unit - the monstrous Tiger I.
To my big surprise i managed to attach panzer animation to my model , everything went smooth, all is working, including rotating turret while idle, pumping cannon and death animation with turret having been displaced.
I plan to add an extra skin, probably green or sand camouflage.
Next, probably will be ferdinand elefant.
Enjoy !

P.S. How to add new units guide

once again nice one mano

~C

ps- when you do the blackhawk, can you include an extra skin with the red cross marking on the side? i'm think of a medical copter

Very nice, I like your armor as much as your aircraft!

eoo2 · Mar 30, 2006

Nice one, Nautil-

"Make treads, not propellors"...

(I know this is a lot to ask) Have you considered offering a good standard gray skin for this one?

boneys26 · Mar 31, 2006

yeah nice one between you and smitty you owned the air :goodjob:

now it looks like your gunna own the armor on the ground too nice work keep em comming nautil. I got a pic of the challanger tank for ya think it'll be a good unit to have. Theres also some other ground units on this site too might keep you and smitty busy for a bit

if you guys want me to do a zip with all your units in including the xml for them just pm me I'll start work on it today (will have alot of catching up to do tho

Smitty can you not use the modern armor animation for your tanks? just like the planes

Looks very good, but could you please do units that haven't been made? No offence meant, but at this point it would be better if as many different units were done before re-making the already done ones.

May I interest you in British tanks?

I'm sorry, i didn't know that such tank was already done. Well then, i will make more rare units.

Rare, Like the Elephant (German armor)
or
Rare, Like the Amphibious Sherman (US armor)

Or really rare, like the minesweepers or bridgelayers?

i think this one looks quite unusual, Alsmost finished it , just need to arrange textures and attach animation.

God damm that looks mean don't wanna see that sat outside one of my cities

oh i got some pics of a tank i can't remember for the life of me what one it is but to me it looks like the challanger 1

Warmaker · Apr 1, 2006

For that pic, it's the SdKfz 251/1 halftrack equipped with humongous 32cm Flame Rockets (6 total). Really nasty...

That's an American M1A1 Abrams MBT. Civ4's Modern Armor model uses that as a base.

Thank you mate for offer, it would be really nice if you make such mod, with all these new units.

Na you put all the hard work in making the new units and as one of your fans its my way to say thanks keep it up and now its looking even better with the ground units too :goodjob:

eoo2 · Apr 1, 2006

Thanks for the gray skin, Nautil... just what I was hoping for!

I partially disagree with Paasy, though- duplicate units are, well, *duplicates* UNLESS you feel you can improve upon previous models.

A healthy competition between modders of "identical" units may cause redundancy, but then you're making these primarily for your own satisfaction, right?

So go right ahead! Maybe modders could collaborate to produce units of better quality than individuals alone.

Personally- I like *both* of the Tigers currently available, as they have slightly different appearances.

All this is of course intended to ENCOURAGE you and your colleagues in the modding department... everyone is doing brilliant work, and critics such as myself are having a great time observing your progress!

Oh, and a quick request. How about the German Gustav/Dora railbased artillery used at Sevastopol?

I've been looking for 3D plans, but can't find them right now. The wikipedia article is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dora_%28artillery%29

I wonder if the XML could limit these to moving along rails. How cool would that be?

Anyway, this would be a sufficiently "rare" unit... (and probably expensive as hell to build, requiring ironworks or specialized factories, etc.)

.

you can't do that in the xml it would have to be done with the SDK when it comes

boneys26 · Apr 2, 2006

ok the mod is almost done ( Nautil's air units mod) could you do the buttons for it? or if someone reading this could do the buttons for all of your airplanes as were stuck with just the 4 buttons that come with the game
