check the splash page bro

feel like an idiot and a **** yet?
I'll sit here nice and quiet and wait for your public apology

The big difference there John is those people are making their own custom assets

message sent, GL

I'll be sure to let Renardin know about it :P
It's the Nod Infantry from C&C Reborn.

I personally don't care if it's used just for the screenshot. Although the model is viewable from their site, it's completely disrespectful to use someones work and not give credit to the artist or group.

BUT, if Renardin or the actual artist gave you it to use, I retract all my negativity. Regardless, I'll be sure to send him this way

haha...don't **** off havoc!

What do you mean? You don't see it in this render or you don't think the turret fits? If the first one, the turret is on the bottom of the craft so you can't see it in this render. If the second, I think it works for it and it will eventually look like a clean match after it's textured.

good question Wacky :)
my fullest intent is for them to handle in a realistic way (if you move the mouse up or down, the nose will also go up or down), however, I still do want to keep jump and crouch as an altitude changer.

In order for this to happen though, I do need a programmer. So if anyone knows any, pleeease send them my way :)

No it will not be cell shaded, sorry Lucifer :(

These models are untextured. They are simply rendered in Max with different colored faces. The reason it has that black border around it is just to make it so it doesn't blend in with the background

he's got a beetle for a symbol?

I'll see about changing that

ah yea, perfect idea

couldn't find what you were talking about Fox

What do you mean?

UT3
Honestly, Havoc89 was bugging me to mod this particular engine/game instead since Day 1 of creation of Tiberian Eclipse. After careful consideration and letting Havoc show me a few things and open my eyes...I just can't believe I didn't go with this one to begin with. The tools and editor are to such a professional degree and level that it just blew my mind. Although most things need to be coded to get in game and I have no coding knowledge what-so-ever, it was so much easier and more fun to mod. This editor is actual fun to learn and play with, and after seeing the other mods that are around and being developed, there is just so much that can be done with it.

So that, HL-Rul3z is why we aren't sticking with Crysis (no offense intended with this message! :) ). UT3 is just better in all degrees and levels, and we will develop a better gamestyle than could have been achieved on either of the other two.

Yea, unfortunately Wolf we have been wishy washy with engines. If I haven't already explained in our websites post (not sure if I did) there are several reasons for it.
BF2142
It was our original idea to mod this game because, I felt, it offered the best ideal combat gameplay-wise. However, the game is very awkward to mod. In order to use the editor, you have to buy both 2142 and bf2. It's a bit annoying to tell people "Yea you have to buy both games," basically wasting money on one game just for the editor. Ontop of that, the editor takes forever to load and if an error occurs, you have to reload it. And the most important reason: Besides changing models, values, and gametypes, the game offers no other modability.

Crysis
This game seemed to be a great opportunity and we were very excited. It was fun to mod for a short time, but there were some complications with getting things to work correctly, and it was just very confusing for some. With Crytek basically abandoning their product, some errors that came with the game would never be fixed. It's kind of hard to keep with a game that the producers of it aren't even handling it anymore. It was and still is a great game in my opinion, but people are leaving the crysis community (or rather have left) at a rapid pace and moved on.

the reason we aren't working with other CnC mods for UT3 (and I'm only aware of one other one, Renegade-X), is because it's a different era than Tiberian Sun. Plus, Renegade-X is trying to replicate the Renegade style combat, while TE will go for more of a realistic power struggle type setting (capturable nodes on map that assist those who own it; objectives to destroy before base assault can begin; etc.,...).

Thanks for the positive feedback everyone :)

Once again we REALLY need some help on this project. Although our staff page hasn't been updated, we are down to about 3-4 people, 2 of which work on actual content and getting things in game. We need all the help we can get.

it was actually a battle scene between Nod and GDI (with Nod dieing)

yes it will

Hey everyone.
I know this comment is going to come off discouraging and probably draw negative attention to us, but I'd at least like to be straight up to you all and clue you guys in. As you have noticed, there hasn't been much activity, yeh? Currently with my school and work load, I don't even have enough time to work on my classes at UCF, let alone work on the mod. Sounds bad? No. I've currently got some loans coming to cover hopefully only a year off of work. My 2 weeks notice is in at SunTrust, and once the end of the month gets here I'll be picking up where I left off. Chris - my coder and co-leader - also doesn't have enough time and I'm not sure when he will be back. However, one of our 3D artists who disappeared is back again, and another artist is also wanting to pick pace back up. Although we are desperatly hurting for a coder, progress will still pick back up and we'll move on from there. There is no release coming within this month or next, however, expect one before New Years. Please, don't see this as a dieing mod. I need this mod in my portfolio more than you all want to play it, and I will not see it die. My dedication to this progress is severe and you will see new, and hopefully exciting stuff in the future. If anyone knows any modders (especially coders) or wants to get the word out for us, it would be appreciated and possibly rewarded by referral. Thanks everyone for your support and please stick with us :)

unfortunately due to vacations and a hard work load with the staff, the release is going to be a bit longer. I gravely appologize but we are working behind the scenes.

Appreciated BlckWyerve...Trust me, if you like what you've seen so far, you'll be in for a treat for the next news post...
Let's just say that five new vehicles will be included in our next update. Keep checking back over the next week :)

Read the comments on the harpy

We will definitely take that into consideration Godwin. On the final version of the Harpy we will probably make larger panels that aren't so much based on the faces of the mesh

Also, I have some good news for most of you :P. After taking into consideration the design of the Harpy, the comments you all have made, and the fact that we no longer on BF2142, the Harpy will be re-designed with a rotor as opposed to a VTOL engine system :)

I'm actually experimenting the designs of the Obelisk, and just wanted to show the work so far. I'm pretty sure I'm actually going to go with a hybrid of the CNC3 and TS version of the Obelisk. I do apprecaite your concern as wanting this to look like the TS one though.
As far as the logo, whats the difference between the CNC3 and TS logo? that background texture applied to the red on the TS logo? Although it is the CNC3 style logo, I actually hand painted both the GDI and NOD logo's in photoshop

They are, the last I heard

I'm not sure if that would be such a good idea
I've talked to Renardin on different occasions and I've actually worked on Reborn (some of my models are still being used, though I'm not even sure if credit is still listed or not). Me and Renardin work a lot differently. Even if we decided to co-lead, or him come under me or me under him, there would a severe clash in design and leadership. I'm going for a completely different feel and aspect of Tiberian Sun than Renardin is. Not only that, but I'm going for a more creative style on the artists part than he is (I'm allowing freedom to edit and change up designs in units, whereas he is going for an exactness to Reborn)

Read our news post on either the ModDB or out website and you will get that answer

erm
during the time of that render and the screenshots in game, the GDI soldier texture hadn't even started. I'm currently working on the texture now. The texture you see in game was just a 3 toned color texture applied to the model so it wouldn't show up as the uncle sam image in game
