OWA Posted June 6, 2007 Report Posted June 6, 2007 Hey guys and welcome to the latest Apocalypse Rising Blog! Due to the exam season and APB Beta nearing release, we have been unable to produce as much as we would have liked to over last month. We'll try and make a significant push forward in the coming months though. Stay tuned. Now comes the renders <h3>Soviet Radar Infernals/Inferior </h3> Our new model artist Poggel (or Aramour on msn) has made us some internals for the Soviet Radar. Check out the images below. (Click the images for bigger ones ) Do you see the radio apparatus on the table? That is going to be used to call in the Spyplane which will fly over the enemy base allowing you to see what they are up to. The spyplane also disables the shroud from the Gap Generator momentarily allowing the Soviets to spot the incoming rushes. In the basement there will be Terror Drone Remote Consoles which you can use to control the terror drones across the battlefield whilst you remain safely inside the base. <h3>The New V3 is being Unwrapped!</h3> Ric has been furiously unwrapping the V3 Rocket Launcher model that Spice made a while back. Here is progress so far. <h3>The First Apocalypse Rising Wallpaper!</h3> I was thinking about what we hadn't done on the mod then it occured to me..... wallpapers! So I made one up using Svensmockavich's Prism Tank being attacked by Ric's Terror Drone. I may do a load more wallpapers like this with more units in, perhaps on request for the future? We'll have to see. (Click the logo to see the wallpaper) So far it is only in 1024 x 768. I'll update this later with more sizes if people request it. <h3>Competition Update!</h3> The competition is into it's third week and we have 12 entries so far! TagDaze with "Fall back to base!" Jupiter with "This is Dr Eintein" Iscream4pork with "Tanya in the Field" Westy543 with "I'm Gone!" TagDaze again with "Cillit Sniper" Iscream4pork again with "The Humorous Spy" chaos1219 with "Awaiting Orders" Godlord with "Mind Control" Iscream4pork again with "Want Flak with that?"

Guest Zader Posted June 6, 2007 Report Posted June 6, 2007 love ze blog! i shall controle the terror drones with my fingers of doom!
Guest EVA-251 Posted June 7, 2007 Report Posted June 7, 2007 Another fine blog! Radar Dome looks nice, and that V3 looks great as well. Was the V3's rocket bigger than the truck it was mounted on though? I have not played vanilla YR or RA2 in a while.

Guest cuddling Posted June 7, 2007 Report Posted June 7, 2007 Good luck for your exams One Winged Angel
Ric Posted June 7, 2007 Report Posted June 7, 2007 Full credit to Spice for the V3, I'm just unwrapping it so it can be textured. Nice work on the internals Poggel, coming along nicely Ric
Guest -SF-Ivan the Terrible Posted June 7, 2007 Report Posted June 7, 2007 Very nice radar, the set up of that basement makes it look modern, which in my opinion is a good thing because it sticks to RA2 which is modern too. Will the equipment on the table be breakable when shot at? Just a suggestion, the radio on the table (the one form the pictures.) Ingame it could be making wave sounds has the game goes on and then when someone shoots at it with a bullet, the radio could transform those wave sounds into a series of breaking sound waves, like when your tuning and cant find a canal on a radio, and then when shot at it again just no more sound and the thing falls apart. Perhaps too complex or too much work for such little object.
cfehunter Posted June 7, 2007 Report Posted June 7, 2007 we could certainly make the sound stop, the tuning sound shouldnt be hard either.
Guest Nod Soldier(BmLlK) Posted June 7, 2007 Report Posted June 7, 2007 Awesome Radar Interior! Also this Racing Skin of the V3 is pretty nice!
Guest =NX=VinGummi2 Posted June 7, 2007 Report Posted June 7, 2007 Awesome Radar Interior! Also this Racing Skin of the V3 is pretty nice! ehmm... I am pretty sure that is no skin, as he said he was in progress of unwrapping it, and as far as I have understood you need to unwrap before you can skin... and you call yourself a mod leader?
OWA Posted June 7, 2007 Author Report Posted June 7, 2007 ehmm... I am pretty sure that is no skin, as he said he was in progress of unwrapping it, and as far as I have understood you need to unwrap before you can skin... and you call yourself a mod leader? The checker map is a type of skin. It shows you how even the unwrap is.
Guest u6795 Posted June 7, 2007 Report Posted June 7, 2007 And I'm also somewhat sure Nod Soldier was joking. I like. Good stuff, AR team!
Ric Posted June 7, 2007 Report Posted June 7, 2007 The checker map is a type of skin. It shows you how even the unwrap is. Exactly. If the squares are even then it means there is no stretching so the texture will not be stretched when put on the model. It also means that the unwrap is to scale so you don't have bits that have more detail than others. Ric
Guest Freak Posted June 7, 2007 Report Posted June 7, 2007 Is there still the magical stretching hydraulics problem?
OWA Posted June 7, 2007 Author Report Posted June 7, 2007 Is there still the magical stretching hydraulics problem? We havn't got it ingame yet....
