New Beacon

[Ghetto]

Well while playing legends Meatloaf noticed the beacon looked like the disk in the disk launcher and asked JoMo and he said it was image placement. So me and Meatloaf both threw in our 2 cents and came up with a simple little beacon that looks cool but still needs to be skinned. :D

Note that is only a rough draft and doesnt look too great not skinned or in Milkshape. :F

I may end up redoing the beacon it isnt all that great atm. Rough draft. :huh:

tbh, it looks like how i feel

[Automatic Schmuck]

looks pretty good, just needs a nice skin :)

[Ghetto]

Here is a little skinned version. Not the greatest beacon in the world I plan to make a few more gonna try and get some little feet on in or somthing. :blink:

NOTE: Quality of image is bad. Would look better ingame.

[Ghetto]

No shit dumb ass.

[Meatloaf]

ok... jsut because its not the bets thing in the world give us a break.

[Ghetto]

Really. It would be nice if the whole world had 3D studio max. But it isnt gonna happen.

[absent]

ill send u 3dsmax5.bin and .cue

[Ghetto]

Thats not gonna do anything. ;) I didnt plan on this actually making it into the game. Just somthing for fun actually. :P

I've got a beacon model exported, not sure why its not ingame, though it still needs skinned... I'm not sure I like it all that well either, so if anyone wants to do a better design (3d or 2d sketch) we'll put it in if we like it :)

[Automatic Schmuck]

don't listen to absent, he's just a troll from tw who's been banned for god knows how long. he used to be funny, he just seems bitter now though :/

[Tainted-Sky]

my version
keep in mind, that it will be much smaller in the game
i also have a really neat pen sketch i did of how i picture it looking...just gotta scan it somewhere

[Tainted-Sky]

well...scratch that version...milkshape crashed and didnt save

[Tainted-Sky]

I recovered and made it better!

Much better. Keep it as flat as you can get it. T2 beacon is almost perfect, so this one is really good.

[Tainted-Sky]

thanks, yeah, flat is good

[Automatic Schmuck]

i think the beacon should be visible up close so the enemy can blow it up if they stumble upon it, but hard to see from a distance to make them actually effective. those models are looking pretty good to me :)

[Mr_Unlucky]

not to say those beacons aren't nice, but ..that's a lot of pologons for a BEACON...sheesh...

who cares what beacons look like?

:blink:

[Tainted-Sky]

actually they are pretty low poly,
thats just a render, i have made it smaller, and im still workign on it

[Tainted-Sky]

[Shad0w]

Pfft, Absent gets way too much leeway on these boards :(

Every town needs its retard, I suppose.

[MrSniper]

we all know absent is really Santa Clause deep down inside, so we let him be on here in order to get all the goodies we want at Christmas.

to be on topic: Tainted send me the freaking skin maps so I can do that beacon justice.

[Tainted-Sky]

/me = first time modeller and skinner, so BYTE ME! :P

Here's an updated shot

[absent]

it was a fine model
too bad you fucked it up w/ that ugly azz skin
dang idiot

[Tequn-Rijar]

Wouldn't it be nice, if a beacon will pulsate in the marked color - like here: red?

Maybe every 5th second a light-pulse. This will enforce the people working with beacons, that they have to place it on a well chosen spot, not just in a dark corner of a room or in the shadow of a tree?

And apropos atmosphere - it would just look gorgeous!

[Ghetto]

Nice work tainted. Alot better than I did. ;) Needs a better skin though.

[Tainted-Sky]

/me = not a skinner
Thats me first job...Snipers working on a new one
