GDI TD Voxels (TS/RA2)

Why do you people want giant MCVs? Also, sanedisruption is not a voxel idiot. He knows ztyping well how to voxel. You know, there's a posting date.

Man these have been getting a lot of attention lately.

Also, thanks deformat, appreciate it.

The voxels were made to be within 1 (one) cell size within TS or YR. If a voxel exceeds those boundaries then there's awful clipping errors that occur when a voxel moves past another unit.

If you don't mind this clipping error (most people do) then feel free to change the voxel bounds for yourself.

To be honest, the MCV voxel is appropriately sized.

That is great. IMO, if the MCV was bigger... perfection.

Just because, the MCV in my mind is like the biggest ztyping truck in the world, 'cause it deploys into a pretty big building.

The MCV is giant. The FMVs show it.

The FMVs show a bunch of crazy stuff.

The MCV is fine.

Ugh wasn't there only that one FMV showing the MCV deploy? Which BTW had no real reference points as it was the only vehicle in the clip. The only way to tell scale was compared to a butterfly on a bush which was actually pretty massive compared to the wheel, so judging by that the MCV is probably pretty small. Even the finished Construction Yard wasn't that big compared to the two men walking in.

FMV's also show Obelisk of light to be smaller than con yard
(yet it should be bigger)
and 2x (if not 3x) smaller than Mammoth MK 2

can't know who to trust

lol ingame scale is wrong for viewing purpose. The FMV show how it would really look like.

I think if your really looking for any real touch of realism with a MCV, you need to remove the MCV from the game. Vehicles don't really transform into solid brick and mortar structures, but C&C makes it believable with the buildup animation.

This kind of goes for scaling too. It just needs to be fairly large to believable, which it is, and it isn't bigger to prevent clipping from being an issue. So basically, in a choice between a larger MCV and no clipping issues, Sane chose no clipping issues.

While some may say otherwise, I'd argue that the clipping would ruin the MCV more that the slightly smaller size does.

scale of a single celll is roughly 9ft by 9 ft. so the buildings in game are off scale. as long as it fits 1 cell wide we over look these things

EDIT: 9ft by 9ft by 3 1/2ft (L by W by H)

Speaking of scale, you can't place THIS ingame without proper scaling. Scale is just useful for game purpose, without it they would be hard to control.

I don't have problem with the MCV's size.It's perfect for the game(TS,RA2). BTW,SaneDisruption,I checked your TD Harvester voxel with the Voxel Viewer,and it's perfect.You did a nice job.

Thanks, I appreciate that. These voxels unfortunately don't hold up to today's standards for being in the spotlight forum, or for being decent voxels at all for that matter. I'm no ErastusMercy or Shin.Peter.Pan, but I'm glad you guys continue to find uses for these voxels.

For being in the spotlight forum,or not,we'll always find some good uses for such so amazing voxels.To tell you the truth,I'm using at least 3 of your TD voxel pack(Humvee,Mammoth Tank and MLRS) on TS,and I'm planning to add the Abrams Tank soon.Especially for the Humvee,I made a mix of 2 vehicle codes(Ranger Jeep from RA1,and the attack buggy from TS).I also made a cameo for the Humvee with an SHP Builder(using a TD Humvee cameo I found on the Internet). I guess I wrote too much.
