Red Alert Structures

[Feld]

For which Engine - FPS Creator (I think)
Current Polycount - 816 for flame tower - 1316 for tesla coil
Max Polycount - 2000 for each
Texture Size - dunno
Description of background information on piece - One of my pals from my old school asked me to do some Red Alert models for him, cause he is making a FPS game. Only problem is that he needs them in .3ds, and i use Maya.
Where are you looking to receive criticism - Mesh

No Problemo. Looks fine. Tesla coil could save some tris in the bowls I think.

Thanks a lot.

Look good so far.

They bring back bad memorys of that fucking mission where you had to get the spy past them. lol

Does anyone have a good ref of an AA Gun?
Cause I've never played the game, and my friend only gave me this ref, which I can't really figure out...

Half of those are Red Alert and half are Red Alert 2, they're from a mod where someone decided to throw as much of other C&C games into Generals as possible. The AA gun is fairly inaccurate too.

If you had the game you could pull all the .shp files and the FMVs, but it's a huge amount of material for someone to send you.

Perhaps have a look at this and this.

They're from a mod I made a while ago, some of them certainly aren't perfect but it's a damn sight better than that C&C Allstars mod and all of mine are Red Alert - you'll want to click view original to get the bigger size.

You could also have a look at A Path Beyond, which is a free FPS game based on C&C Renegade but set in Red Alert rather than Tiberian Dawn.

Are you doing a few specific models or does he want you to do the lot?
It might be worth showing him APB so he can see what he wants to do has already been done.

I'm only doing the AA Gun, the Tesla Coil, and the Flame Tower.
Those were the three models he asked me to do.

There's an FMV with the AA Gun and the Tesla Coil so here are some shots from those alongwith the ingame sprite.
Unfortunately there aren't any FMVs featuring the Flame Tower in so I can only get the sprite for that.



(The yellowy brown is the remap, which changes to the colour the player has chosen)

The Tesla Coil in the ref you were given is based on the Red Alert 2 version, which looks like this in the actual game:

The AA Gun and Flame Tower didn't reappear in Red Alert 2 and there haven't been any official 3d models of any of them released thus far (though a different Tesla Coil design features in the upcoming Red Alert 3).

Thanks a lot.
I found a ref of the flametower, but it's also from the allstars mod. It's what I worked after though.

The Flametower is a pretty decent recreation, there's plenty of room for interpretation anyway with only that little sprite to go on.
Maybe add some small pipes to yours linking the tanks on top to the head section for some extra detail?
