Dacubz145's Unit Thread

@orion, doubt it, most of my units come from google sketchup, so it would probably be way to high polycount, and no anmation

@j fair enough, since sa8 and m109 do look a bit weird, i wouldnt say blurry, but it is hard to distinguish between were one part of it endsand one starts. But the problem isnt as bas in actual civ. i do disagree about centurion though, personally think it looks good

 

[stolenrays]

It really just depends on how you skin IMO. If you change the color hues to skin or just paint over top of a skin you may get bluriness. I Use a desaturated base of the skin, then paint my new skin on a new layer and then use the multiply feature to create the texture/shading.

The only animation needed would be the wings and the rear end stinger. Perhaps you could start with the scorpion graphic, as an example. If it were possible to turn the tail upside down and make it shorter, then it might be a good starting point for the Hornet's stinger. Your thoughts?

 

[dacubz145]

Like I said it would have no animation, I can not animation so does not matter how little, I just can't do it, sorry.

Anti-Air Halftrack Desrt Skin

Here is an animated version of the (M45) AA half-track in your mod. I have been working on it for my own mod. It uses the modern armor animation. I haven't tested it in game for scale, etc. So tell me if it works.

 

[dacubz145]

Hmm I thought it was animated already? If you check out the dl link it comes with modern armor kfm and everything, but I havent tried in out in my mod, due to a problem in my civ game, I cant actually play games

I will take a look at it though

When I tested the original version out all that happens is that the front wheels start to do strange things such as yo-yo.

 

[dacubz145]

Well I just fixed civ after it not working for several weeks, so I will check it out tonight

 

[OrionVeteran]

I don't know if this could be used or converted, but its a 3D animation of the hornet.

Like I said man, I can't do animations

@ Stolenrays, I checked out halftrack and original one looked fine to me, actually worked pretty nice, front wheels did not do anything that I can see, maybe its been improved since you've tried it. Unless there is a problem with original one, it is 30 kb smaller so I will keep original

DaCubz would you please make a F-18 with Canadian Markings
example

 

[dacubz145]

Stolenrays and I are creating a mod here and he requested taht I do that already, I was going to do it in several days, but now that two people are looking for it I will attempt it tonight

 

[dacubz145]

dacubz145 do you have a picture or a screenshot of the Global Hawk with the texture file applied as the Database download shows it without it's texture.

Sorry that texture is not with it, I am new at making units and i was messingn around with adding that texture but I couldnt get it, the picture is without the texture, I plan on adding a texture when I figure out how

That is an eerie coincidence, lol.

@dacubz145

Any Luck on theses? I would really like to add a war wagon soon but don't have the graphics for it. Same goes for the Head Hunter.

 

[dacubz145]

Not really, Im really best with modern vehicles, since they are the most likely to be on google warehouse, plus only one ive done for you, theres already a better version out there

Im just not good at people/animal units

 

[SamSniped]

I might have a request for you, if you are good at boats. The USS Constitutuion, also known as "Old Ironsides."

EDIT: Also, maybe a halftrack? I was thinking of using the halftrack for an upgrade from calvary leading up to the M113 APC, but the only halftrack for Civ4 I found was one with an anti-air turret, and I want a MG mounted towards the front. The halftrack could look like this, but minus the Cross on the side and a machine gun mounted in front of that first guy standing up.

 

[dacubz145]

I havent tried ships since they usually require more then a skin and from google warehouse the

That exact unit has already been made, not sure where it is on the site but you can find it in my mod it is named Sd. Kfz 251, just remove the cross via any easy art tool just like paint

F-18 Canadian skin, requested by stolen rays and Cole98. Just added canadian air force symbols as well as made the metal look a bit more realistic
