We're back! CMT Returns!

[Masterz1337]

This is a more of an OS question than CMT one, but would it be possible to expand the detail object collection tag to allow actual models instead of just sprites? (ie actual decent looking grass and ferns)

I wanted this too, but theres no reason to put the work in when you can just do scenery. Also..

A preview of their first pass in-game. Pardon the lack of a rig; shaders are WIP so any suggestions there would be appreciated as long as it's reasonable. They're also missing their helmets and armor coloration permutations (which are coming soon).

Quills aren't blue enough

Quills aren't blue enough

IMO they aren't Long enough. Maybe that's what seems weird about them.

I'd also suggest toning the grime on the armor down a bit; as far as styles, it's not really matching the rest of it all, unless that IS the general style of it all.

Is it just me, or do their heads look too big?

I actually have to agree, I think they would look much better if they were extended out a bit.. and maybe a few more going down the back of the neck. Head size is probably just a perspective thing..

We'll see what we can do. We try to keep things proportional with the H1 models, so we don't get any collision or animation fuckups like you see in HA10. The jackal is the enemy that changed the most from H1->H2 art wise, as the H1 Jackal was never very good looking to begin with.

[t3h m00kz]

Oh I completely understand wanting to keep it as close to the original as possible and keep things as compatible with the original stuff as possible. though changing the quills around at the very least shouldn't really affect much.

[Masterz1337]

Quills won't be a problem, I meant to quote the post about the head. I'll let Dano know your opinions on the quills.

As long as the color of the armor ends up being a bit more vibrant than this, then I will be happy. At the moment its generally drab as far as coloring is concerned.
I did notice that proportion wise, the neck does seem to be a bit too short, but that may not apply to the h1 jackal.

Yes, however, scenery takes up alot more time + effort and also wouldn't have the same "slowly fading out" function that doc does.
