[REL] Tau Skimmer - Released!: 3 Camo's + Working Lights!

RedOctoberRCT3 · 12-23-2009, 11:54 PM

A new CTR. And I am proud to say I am making it from scratch! I dont have a definite release date, with today being Christmas Eve and all that, but I should have it sometime soon!

I have tried to make it a realistic themed coster with proper wheels. However, the rear of this Skimmer tilts up at the back, and I was calling apon the community to give me ideas how to attach the rear of the skimmer to the track without ruining it!

I have attempted to keep it as low poly as possible, however no matter waht I do the count remains on 1000. I feel the curves are necessary and I am proud to have kept it that low, despite how curved the actual thing is. Several curved components may be deleted (i.e. the thingy on the front) depending on the overall poly count.

Thankyou guys! Its now the 1st Jan 2010 and I am ready for importing. I hope to detail it more and if you guys can stomach polys I might even add a gun under its nose!

Thanks for the comments

fredward · 01-01-2010, 06:58 AM

ahh i remember warhammer.... happy memories, brilliant so far! keep it up!

Weber · 01-01-2010, 01:01 PM

That looks really nice, although I'm not familiar with a Tau Skimmer.

LoneWolf7 · 01-01-2010, 01:07 PM

A big reason why you have a poly count of 1000+ is because your not using textures, you are using lines and circles to create textures. It is also a good idea to lower the amount of segments in a curve. The model looks nice, but with a little bit more work, it could be much better

RedOctoberRCT3 · 01-01-2010, 10:18 PM

@ LoneWolf7

The segments are as low as 3 in some curves. I have made sure ALL segments are below 10. I am looking for textures, but they are a little hard to comeby! I am currently searching the Dawn of War thingys for textures as it is the only PC game for Warhammer.

@Weber

Thanks, the Tau skimmer is basically a minature for a tabletop battlegame (Ultimate nerdy stuff)

Now comes with 2 camo's! T'au and Sa'cea

I am also working on a third, Au'Taal which is basically red and grey. I am also having trouble with my light, it just doesn't want to work. I have it set as simplelightbulb but it doesn't work. Can anyone help me?

namme · 01-02-2010, 12:35 PM

wow.. cant wait

Bassmachine2010 · 01-02-2010, 12:41 PM

lookin good noone has done a militart/table game CTR before

I assume this is just a basic light? In other words just a white one? Use this,

simplelightstart01_r0g0b0_radius3

That's basic white light, if you want to make it recolorable there's another code for that.

superlegostarwa · 01-02-2010, 04:51 PM

Ooh that's nice

Changer098 · 01-02-2010, 05:42 PM

That must of took some time!

RedOctoberRCT3 · 01-02-2010, 11:29 PM

Lights now work! And I have uploaded ready for release! Download from my website found here

Please enjoy with compliments of Red!

PS: Oh all those textures are made by me in paint

namme · 01-03-2010, 05:40 AM

^^red... why dont u add a effect in the car like its comming smoke in the front or something.. that would be very very cool....

awsome downloding

Thatonekid · 01-03-2010, 08:57 AM

may i suggest creating a camo texture and not splitting the faces? Because that will shoot the poly count way up...

RedOctoberRCT3 · 01-03-2010, 07:48 PM

@Thatonkid

The camo is a texture

I just had a bit of a scribble on paint and theres your camo!

@namme

I wouldn't mind adding a smoke particle effect somehwere but I have no clue whatsoever! If I ever find out, I will certainly attach it to my next themed CTR

Weber · 01-03-2010, 10:20 PM

Well I think it looks pretty awesome! I just love the ctr creator, soooo many possibilities!

RedOctoberRCT3 · 01-03-2010, 10:34 PM

Awww, Shucks,

anyway the CTR creator in my opinion, Takes a little getting used to though, I hate those error messages in german!

Xendax · 01-09-2010, 10:17 AM

Does it only come on the corkscrew track?

RedOctoberRCT3 · 02-09-2010, 05:54 AM

No it doesn't, but if it needs some tweaking just let me know. I thought it would look best on the corkscrew track!

where do I download. I like it. THis will go great with my city custom scenery set. war plane flying through my city

Old-Spice · 02-09-2010, 03:37 PM

You should try and find some textures that are cammo, vs making your own. No offence, but they do not look very nice. Paint is a basic of all basic program.

or here: Go to fabric, then choose camo textures

I know they are not that pretty. It was a last ditched effort because I searched for hours (literally) looking for a decent texture. Eventually I made my own which turned out okay anyway.

IWillDestroYou · 03-08-2010, 10:37 PM

actually I already download them. I dont know if I did something wrong but they dont show up in my game

RedOctoberRCT3 · 03-09-2010, 02:54 AM

Hmmm, the icon is CTR, and is called Tau Piranha. Make sure you have installed it properly??

azanderz · 03-09-2010, 08:10 AM

When you made this what did you think it should be used for ? Because i think it is too big to be an actual coaster car

Not to be rude or anything im just curious of what your idea was for the use of this car

RedOctoberRCT3 · 03-11-2010, 05:29 AM

Its a long story, I was trialling my modelling skills and abilities to see what I could come up with. Whilst it is not perfect, it was something that appealed to me at the time becuase of a certain park I was creating. Yes, all of my CTR's are big, but they are supposed to be realistic in size to the peep. Whilst I have made several darkrides with it, I still think the overall quality and motives for my CTR's need some tweaking.

gavt1976 · 03-11-2010, 05:37 AM

I think that this does look awesome, but i think that if you are good at this i think that you should try doing CFR's rides because you are amazing doing CS & CTR's.
