Blog 169 (18/01/10), Just tightening up the graphics. Options

Hey guys, welcome to this slightly-later-than-usual blog. I've held it back in anticipation for awesome stuff.

Soviet Walls Destruction Animations

You think the APB guys are the only people who can do wall destructions? Think again!

Occult13 has had a little help from cuddling to produce these soviet wall destruction animations in 3ds max's Reactor engine! Allies on a good vehicle rush will hopefully see lots of this animation when the walls are destroyed.

Thanks to Deadpikle for the uploads

Note: The weird squares on top of the wall section will be getting a barbed wire texture, as pictured in the renders below.

FN Minimi Para Textured

Guy with a wrench is applying the finishing touches to the FN Minimi Para, the weapon that most conscripts will learn to fear. The Gi's Heavy Machine Gun is only usable when deployed, this provides them with a firepower bonus when stationary, but it leaves them a little more vulnerable because they are stationary.

This weapon is likely to be used in defence rather than attack, but then again, using the bigger weapon will get you a firepower bonus against bigger targets, such as structures.

Dakka dakka dakka!

The GI Can Carry Loads!

Here is a nice screenshot of the GI's new sandbag wall. Now we're getting new content into game fairly quickly and things are coming together pretty well. I need to get a shift on with those infantry. rest assured though, I am working on it.

The GI is always called out when Britain floods.

Great job with the texturing. I can't wait to wield it while driving sandbags.

Also, I love the wall destruction animation. Especially how the black top of the corner piece does a whirl as it falls.

Something I just thought off. Will the GI be able to deploy ONLY outside a building? It would seem unfair if they could deply inside a building to destroy it.

Immobile people = Dead meat =/

The sandbags when the GI is crouched will make him Almost impossible to kill unless you have radius of effect weapons.

Wouldn't the Flack trooper throw the little flack balls over the wall? Or use a Kirov

Kirov inside buildings FTW!

It can go into the WF at least :P

Why not to use M249 SAW? Better ROF...
