Gen alpha Chinese buildings

Mig Eater · Posted: Tue Dec 14, 2010 1:53 am Post subject: Gen alpha Chinese buildings

These are the Chinese Buildings from the alpha version of Generals, they don't have any buildups & the Conyard is the only one with a damage frame.

I also had too chop off a section of the Warfac (the repair bay) for it to fit the 5x3 foundation needed for RA2, it doesn't have an opening for air units but I made the necessary anims for ground units to exit.

Lastly the green Chinese logos where changed to red for remap.

I'd love to see these buildings in the Mental Omega mod.

I'll probably just do the mammoth tank & the stealth jet, the others are pretty much the same.

Mig I am afraid these buildings haven't keep the ancient China style and original Generals do,However I like your buildings and your amazing skill .

I appreciate the sudden interest in converting Generals models to RA2. Why hasn't this been done in such quantity before? (Besides privately, I mean, like in the unfinished Red Generals mod.)

I can think of some uses for these, though I wish someone would convert the final versions of the Chinese buildings. I tried myself a while ago, until I realized I couldn't do a proper render in Gmax and needed 3dsmax...which I can't acquire legally and choose not to go the other route.

These Alpha Chinese Buildings always reminded me more of a "Mongolian Barbarian Horde"-style than Chinese.

These aren't Chinese. They're the Khan faction that China became.

Khan is still very chinese. There references to units like "ninja" and "mongol". It looks like nod might have had some presence, as this early scorpion tank (nvscorpion) totally looks like a tick tank, and the weapons factory shwon below has freakin obelisks

They're based after the Mongol hordes of Gengiz Khan. "Mongol" is very un-Chinese. The Chinese look is EA not knowing the difference between Asian cultures.

The only thing I did I did in photoshop what resize & recolour them, the rest was in 3DS Max.

WOW I gotta know how you render cause yours looks 1000000000 better than my system. Then again, I don't actually UV map my textures, so that may have something to do with it.

Indeed the UV mapping is very important in 3dsmax, as well as scaling and additional maps.

Good work on the buildings you have there MIG.

Nikademis Von Hisson · Posted: Fri Dec 17, 2010 1:59 am Post subject: mapping

I found in my experience with 3D max and uvw mapping is that some pieces looked different when textureing .So I made a building, copied it and chopped it up. EX: the walls are mapped at one setting and the roof another
