SMAC Alien Obelisk

[asioasioasio]

Here's obelisk for SMAC
(but you can use it for other mods like magical obelisk etc) - around 100 triangles, 128x128 texture.

Unfortunatelly i wasn't able to geth both glowing and alpha channel - so the glow cames come from texture (no glowing in the darkness)

I look forward to sight obelisk in game I can see alpha centauri when shut an eye

Terrific work asio. Something to find in the wreckage or random resource.

good job. looks just like the original!

What else can I say?

 

[snipperrabbit!!]

Perhaps, there is a trick to put glow with transparency. I will put idea in Build & Cityset thread.

 

[woodelf]

Can't glows be added like the promotion blue glow?

 

[GeoModder]

You know, in the Rise of Rome scenario (Warlords) there's this obelisk that emits a glow (6 different colors IIRC). Perhaps you guys could learn something from studying these .nif files?

Is there art stuff to unpak with Warlords? I have yet to look at any of those nifs.

 

[snipperrabbit!!]

Hmmm ! I think it's fully accessible.

EDIT : it is in Warlords/Assets/Art/Structure/Obelisk_Marker folder.
Good night, Woodelf !

I've encounter two problems - depending wich shading method i use:

1. When i choose civ4 shader - i cannot set the transparencey - so shadows are black everywhere and doesn't melt on the ground. - I don't know why it's happening but it's connected to the team collors and i don't know how to change this. For sure firaxis use it also for transparency. And glow with civ shader are very good.

2. Using standard shader - the glow shines but all the stones becomes darkbrown/black - it's way to dark

But going to bed yesterday i think that i'll make shadow and obelisk as two separate objects - shadow will have standard shader and obelisk with civ4 shader.
Another idea i've get (and i make both ideas i think) it's to give icbm animations so the top circle would flash
