Levels unit previews

[Level]

zulu9812 did you watch the entire animation for the Crawler?

Iv'e been trying figure how to have a better attack for the Hovercopter.

For some reason, animated gifs won't play for me - I just get the picture.

Level I realy like your units; How do you get such great explosion effects, do you have a kind of pregenerated explosion effect or do you make them yourself. They look like realy complicated shapes and the transition is very smooth.
I think what is needed for civ III is a futuristic era- though most players wouldn't reach it (or would do so before 1500AD).
A number of units would be usefull even for the modern era.
Iv'e been thinking about an electric advaced tank- for those people without oil. It would come later than the advanced tank but would have similar stats- perhaps a lower movement rate.

Level,

I really like your unit previews, including the hover copter. The crawler is looking great, too. I wouldn't change anything on it. Looking forward to the release!

zulu9812, if you want to see them you might be able to save them then open on your computer.
The gun on the back rises up to attack and I have a Laser under the head.

Smoking mirror, 3D Studo Max has Combustion objects and you can set them to expolsion it works good but I think it changes to smoke to fast, so I have been trying diferint things.

Here is some thing made amost compleatly out of Fire not sure if I will make it for Civ3 though.

Hi there Level,

I was just wondering, would you possibly be going to make more mech type units? Specifically some various types of battletech mechs? I'm after units like this for a Battletech type mod I'm making but I have no skill with graphics, unfortunately, so it'll take me 6 months just to try to make one unit. I know, I'm probably being overly optimistic, but it can't hurt to ask, eh?

Thanks,
Colt.

I hate you

Great units! Just a question, you have animated Crawler in MAX?
If so, have you made the bones for him?

Level is going to be gone for a couple of years. We exchanged some P.M.'s right before he left.

BTW, his units are completed, and in the unit graphics forums.
