Isn't the words typed 'subdivisions' ?

Oh, and I can model a bit. In Wings3D. Made a bunch of models ( GTD Warmonger, terran artillery destroyer, GTC Warmonger ( Fenris MK2, new model, different back story, so same name:p ), soviet tesla coil from RA2, and etc. ) but I can't texture even if my life depended on it 

[IceyJones]

the mesh is for galemp and firecrack in order to texture it

but warning @ galemp/firecrack.....its a speed-mesh

PS: oh....havn´t seen the revised texture of firecrack.....
i will give it a try...

[IceyJones]

damage model for a fenris after a fighter attack. thought it would be nice to make a swarm missile attack which destroys the hull-plates and then we can see the burning result inside....



edit:
added a decal map...

[ShadowGorrath]

YOU GOT DESTROYED! Who's gonna make the cutscene now ? 

Actually it looks very good. Too bad it can't be in-game like this ( I mean a cruiser hull plates getting destroyed from fighter/other attacks ).

The lines are too straight in some places.

That's supposed to be where whole plates were blown off, but still, a bit too straight.

Icey, you are an artist.

[FreeSpaceFreak]

There should be some sparks squirting out of it IMHO, like in the game.

I realise this isn't finished, but nevertheless, I think the damage looks a bit flat - like it was painted on.

Maybe it just looks better moving, but perhaps the damaged areas could be modeled in to look deeper than the rest of the hull, with some bits of twisted metal around the edges.

But even as it is, it sure looks pretty. Are there going to be cool firey effects?

Yer dad is kinda funny..

[IceyJones]

i always model only what i need...as i never show this as closeup, i dont need as much details as i need in the cutted fenris scene....
but here with the original scene lighting....

and remember....rockets hit the ship...there will be smoke and fire and debris all around....and it will be a fast scene...so it will be sufficient imho....

[Snail]

How about some of those burn marks on the exposed bits?

[ShadowGorrath]

Icey? You're alive ?! I thought you died when your cruiser got hit. Hmm. . . But still, we lost Titan.

The gods of nubish-ness, spammer-ish, laziness, and the evil-clone versions of the spirits of Iceyjones, trashman, -steve-O-, and all the other people who make awesome ships, resurected my shattered body.

what part of th cutscene is that for?

[colecampbell666]

That's amazing. And a lot better. I suppose the other one was WIP.

[Mobius]

Is there a way to make that effect work ingame, possibly with scripting? A "damage" texture generates and overrides the part of the regular texture that's been hit...

With decals, I guess it would be partially possible (ie. if more than say 6 decals are on 1 poly, the entire poly is replaced by the damaged texture)

[IceyJones]

i think the problem would be, that the subdevision of the meshes of the capital ships are not uniform.
there are huge polys and very small ones....i devided the whole mesh several times in order to do that
here....

[Cobra]

Damage decals have already been attempted before, but the result didn't look very good.

[ShadowGorrath]

They were? How did they look like? Any screenies?
