List of units required

Looks very much like a E2C Hawkeye.
Nonetheless its good.

This is completely independent idea, started from squashed sphere used as forward bulb. OK, thanks.
Coming soon:
- Infantry, urban camo.
- Survey teams.

[Jeremy Buloch]

Ok Make the Recon Plane a little more visible. Showing windows and brighter colors. It is hard to see. Also the radome is not very spherical. Try to make it more rounded.

- Just some things to think about and change.

OK, I really messed something up with its lighting. Radome may be done a bit more rounded, but it needn't to be any "spherical", as today radio systems employ phased lattice rather than rotating "dish". It must be aerodynamical, slim and not too large... but you're right, it could be less pointy at the front/back.

BTW, if our coder team will use some 3D features more advanced than as in OpenGL 1.0 this forward blister may actualy reflect surrounding objects via cubic environmental mapping.

cool! very cool!

Maybe a blimp would be better as a mobile sensor platform, as it can stay in the air for months at a time, keeping itself powered with solarpanels on top of the baloon, with a radar dome underneath,
baloon 20-30 meters lenth, 10 meters diameter,
a 5meter radar dome underneath and some antenna's and things like that underneath.
PS. I'll start a thread with some alien units and other concepts

Yes Bad wording I'm sorry.
It needs to be more rounded is what I meant but you know what I mean.

Thanks Mark.

Geology survery team, complete(?)

Here are sample renderings of the geoteam crawler. BTW, these renderings show real outlook of this stuff in the game, as its texture has even shadows "baked" in.

Garrison infantry, urban camo

I've fixed both color scheme and distribution so now it looks more like real camo:

[Jeremy Buloch]

Very, Very, Very, nice! Exemplary work. I love the geoteam crawler.
The Unit Looks a bit Stiff. But hes being designed So I suppose thats why.

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...

Thanks for feedback, but modern 3D cards already exceeded 1 Billion triangles per second limit, and it was not particulary recently. nVidia recommends ~100 pixels for triangle: less, and you'll be limited by transformation engine; more and you'll be cutted down by fill rate (and thus may add geometry for free).
But at first, let's you coders make something, test on dozen machines and then think. Anyway, I'll try to simplify these meshes a bit and gawk how bad they be then.

wow i like the geosurvey team!

[Rasbelin]

Phew, what a nice geosurvey team!

[Gateway103]

Excellent geosurvey crawlers, I'll take 10. Do you ship oversea? ^_^
