what's with the "this way up"

Should that APC be upside-down?

[hmmwv 0]

it´s a joke shown in the Colonial Marines Technical Manual

[nephilim 0]

its a live saving measure

if the apc should face a dread it hops on its dorsal side

and pretends to be dead

LMAO neph  

question is can you script it?

[EricJ 761]

Kinda reminds me of the glasses in Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy.  If you see something that's threatening you, they immediately cut off all vision, so therefore if you don't see it, it's not there...  

Minor update, changed the file format from PAA to PAC, and well, I think it looks better:

And in looking at the source image for the "This Way Up", I added some rust, highlights:

[EricJ 761]

Yeah, I'm still working:

I toned the white down a bit, wasn't sitting well with me.

And fixed the tires, the line wasn't showing up unless you got right up on it, which of course isn't good...

[Geocider 0]

Maybe some metal in edges and stuff? And dirt! Loads of dirt! Dirt is allways good!

[EricJ 761]

Yeah, I have to work on the insides of the wheel wells, and will get to the scratched edges too ;)

[Bobcatt666 0]

so its mapped so you know where things sit or not?

[EricJ 761]

Tried some metal wear, though I don't like it too much.

@Bobcatt666:

What? If you're asking if it's completely mapped, no it's not. I got a real life (as small as it may be) and have to work, so there's gonna be some delay in getting things sorted out. That's why I post shots when I get something accomplished, to let people know I'm still working on it.

Eric you and neph are doing an amazing job. the way you update us on your progress does allow us non addon making people how much work goes into making an addon ready for release..

[EricJ 761]

Well.... too bad the missile defense idea can't work...

But I think I'm gonna leave the weathering alone for a bit, I just can't get a good feel for it, but here's what I've done so far:

[morgwin 1]

when will the addons,mod be releashed oh great job so far really great keep it up

[EricJ 761]

Suffice to say when they'll be released is when they will be released, there's no other way to put it.

But did some detail work, got the exhaust, door hinge, and prelim mud/dirt inside the wheelwells:

Also if you guys are looking for good pics of the colony buildings to model models for the maps deco for a colony and such you should look at this guys site.

I have cut and glued together all the model on his site I have a nice little colony I am working on with lights and such waiting for him to make the colony wall to complete my colony :P
