i really like what you've done with the place. i really enjoy seeing color in games. do you have bump maps turned on because everything looks really bright and shiny.

How does the "gas" effect work? It looks like one of those that has to be called by a separate file, that is then called by the odf in use.(?) At any rate I couldn't get "gas" to work as given.

There is another entry after it in the odf called [gas], it's just a normal smoke type particle.
The dstcolor (destination color)bit makes bz2 render the particle using the color of whatever is being rendered behind it, eg the sky, ground or a tank, it can look a bit weird, but if done carefully it can produce the impression of not really having its own color.

If this project were a female I would date her.

You would date any female.

Any any female? Or just the human ones?

I've tried to work on the colors a bit - more consistent orange shade on isdf and a richer yellow on scion stuff, plus find more places to use the colors. On the screenshots, bumpmaps, specular-highlights, and all lights are usually turned on for testing purposes. Also just having more polys in the models help with the color/lighting effects to bring them out more.

She's pretty, but she can be a real pain to take out for a date.

not to mention the constant nagging; e.g., "Why haven't you finished skinning me yet? You skinned the Sentry, but you haven't skinned meeeeeeeee yet...."

And now I'm on testing, refining, and cleaning.

Still aiming for a release in Sept.

dude, do you do creates models professionally or are you just this freaking good?

BTW, The original ivbomb model had a deploy animation. Can you re-jigger yours to have something similar?

Also the back door of your APC should open

there's a request in to add that bomber animation routine, too

Speak for yourself, VSR and BZC already have working animations on bombers and APCs

i speak for stock.
