You're so weird, man. I like it.

Don't listen to him! I'm mafia! Lynch me!

Although the gameplay looks pretty awful from this video, I'm excited because it means that we now have some more art references for RA2 units, which is great!

I'd like to point out that there are subtle differences between an arid environment and a semi-arid environment. The intend with this particular scene is to border towards semi-arid, mainly to support plants and a few spots of green to break the otherwise monotone of a hot and dry true arid environment (or also known as a desert). I was forced to take a break yesterday but I hope to continue working on this. I did encounter an oversight with one of the assets - the larger rock pile - in where I incidentally applied alpha blend in regions where plane UVW causes stretching, so I'm going to have to pull that out, update it, and re-populate it in the scene, a manual process. You might wonder, what's the big deal about a bad alpha blend? Well, know that I am utilizing hand-painted application through vertex painting, so all assets look like these when viewed individually in 3DS: I no longer work with box UVW (unless the target mesh is literally a box-type object!) due to the seams it creates. The grey cliffs that are part of the main terrain for example use a separate UV channel on the main cliff mesh and the two adjacent transition meshes to create a smooth texture flow with no edges. Pushwall uses similar methods in some APB levels. Edit: Solved this already by just re-painting the merged mesh collection within the main scene, herpaderp.
