List of units required

[targon]

OK, thanks. I hope that units will be used in the game, rather than trashed, at least for now.

Under way.

I come up with something more when I'm back, but here's a few.

Land and air

Anti-aircraft missiles
Anti-tank missiles
Armed personnel carrier
Scout
Light tank
Heavy tank
Bomber (stealth or something abit more developed)
Fighter (same as above)
Artillery (doesn't sound too futuristic, but will most likely be available in the future too)
Transport helicopter (transportation of unit stacks)
Transport airplane (same as above)

Naval

Transport (transportation of unit stacks)
Submarine (could be several different if you have any good ideas; nuclear powered and light?)
AEGIS cruiser (or something improved)
Battleship (sounds old fashioned, but these are valuable )

That's about it for now.

P.S. I didn't copy these units from civ. I'm more of an eager Panzer General player.

Under way.

why didnt you say all you need is a name.....i could come up with names too.....but nooooooo.....i had to write an intire discription......blah

[targon]

DBTS, you units are simply the 1st in my queue. It's completely due to your descriptons. Calm down.

Garrison infantry, work in progress

Here is a really wierd rendering of the infantry model. Texturing is ~%50% done, needs some "features" like platoon signs and various small details. For curious, this character pose is usualy selected as so-called "rest position", as you could easily access any part of the model; later, this approach leads to so-called "posing" via "bones", "scelegons", "weight maps" and other arcane stuff. For realtime rendering, bone/skin animation may be an overkill, so we may fall back to simple "part pivot" animation.

Here is its mesh:

...And texture, if someone is interested

[targon]

OK, now this guy is a bit improved, but I think there isn't direct necessity to waste apolyton server once more.
DBTS! Coming soon: recon flyer. Film at 11

[targon]

Oops, somewhat offtopic, but I have some prior expertice in animation. Not a big, though. So, if we (a) will have nobody to use in this way && (b) this is really required (starnge for downloadable game) && (c) StPDT will beg me really hard, I'll try to animate something. Again, we should better apply someone else, but I'm Graphics Manager now and need to do a lot of dirty work anyway

[targon]

BTW, the guy above weights something around 490 triangles. Could anyone from the coder team say how big or low it is according to their estimates?

[Kurilka]

I'm not an expert, but it seems to be a little bit to much. It's quite simple unit but it's 490 tr. And maybe we wil have thousands of units on 1 map...

[DeathByTheSword]

yeah.....i got a unit.....btw....because they are urban soldiers green may not be there color......and yeah next unit is underconstruction

[targon]

OK, Ok. You said "urban". Then, they must be gray/black or so, right? It isn't especialy easy to change their color scheme, but it isn't hard either.
Thanks for feedback.

Recon flyer, v.1

Here is some sample renderings of the recon flyer, as I imagine it. Of course, "flyer" term isn't much descreptive (that is it, helicopter, jet plane or something other?), so don't blame on me.
