Shrine Of Nod
Subject description: Advanced Research and Technology Center
Shrine Of Nod
Strength: Medium
Armour: Medium
Cost: 2000
Power: -100
Shrines of Nod house the Black Hand's cohort in any major Nod theatre of operations. They allow access to the more complex technologies reclaimed after the fall, such as directed energy, stealth, and EMP weapons. Shrines also allow the use of captured CABAL Cores, Mutant bases, and other tactical structures to their full capacity.
Additional to their role as research facilites and holding areas for artifacts, Shrines function as defensive installations. The EMP cannon is quicker to cool than GDI's orbital counterpart, but the reduced range means that is reasonably common to find Shrines at forward positions. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
not really i didn't had another concept lying around but the picture you have there seems to be the powerplant EA used for TW ?
None than less i did it unintentionally but somewhere really are similar designs from other games/cnc concepts, i'm sure, but iwas more thinking of Dark Reign _________________ Hydraw Art on Facebook QUICK_EDIT

Not only did EA use it, they used the very model WW crafted. QUICK_EDIT
yo, blubb, nice concepts, although rendering/shading appears fuzzy. Anyways you got good stuff though, should consider posting stuff on Conceptart.org _________________ Delirium.. QUICK_EDIT
yea but 1 i got still to learn a few things and 2. those concepts are just scribbles just to see how and why and stuff thanks _________________ Hydraw Art on Facebook QUICK_EDIT

Epic ball of secrecy.
That's what I can see. =P
xD

So what exactly does this do? Just a tech center? Or does it hold super weapon plugins? Or what? _________________ The meaning to life is to be able to be an addict to 5 million games at once...

The Shrine of Nod is a building only allowed access to by high commanders. Shrine’s contain special information required to build the advanced units of Nod and also give the ability to use any captured buildings / facilities to their fullest potential.

Building looks cool - some perspective issues make it a little hard to get the dimensions in some points though. _________________ audiopulse sagt:

Yeah, though it'll be getting a bit of an overhaul on the top to make room for the EMP cannon, or at least that's the working theory. Last edited by Orac on Wed Oct 03, 2012 2:18 am; edited 2 times in total QUICK_EDIT
Um, yes, they will have EMP cannons. That's why I posted "it'll be getting a bit of an overhaul on the top to make room for the EMP cannon". In the next few days we'll probably be trying out Nod with Shrines as EMP cannons.
This is for one big reason:
Buildings which act only as prereqs for other stuff are boring. With an EMP cannon, the Shrine will have an intrinsic use. QUICK_EDIT
wich gives me the idea, why not base the nod naval yard off this concept with a few adjustments? it would work great _________________ Hydraw Art on Facebook QUICK_EDIT
If the Shrine is the EMP Cannon, doesn't that eliminate offensive EMP cannon usage (putting an MCV outside someone's base, building an EMP and blasting their base with it)? QUICK_EDIT
Kane would be proud. looks nice how big is this building meant to be. _________________ Link to a document to see what mods i have and/or working on or working with

Please read the posts from the conversation so far. While this design is not being scrapped (it will be combined with a couple of blubb's other concepts for the Nod naval yard), it is being replaced as the Shrine of Nod by something very much like this: (Obviously WIP)
Fantastic.
If TO doesn't wants it, it would fit perfect into TI as well
Though i would suggest making the turret a tiny bit smaller, or make the ring on which it turns a bit wider. It somehow has a quite fragile look right now.
Some more tech doodads on the tip of the turret which fire the em-pulse could be nice too. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings
i think it's perfect, i mean, the top is an EM pulse cannon, TS's was also that big, i like it how it is, doesn't need any change. _________________ Hydraw Art on Facebook QUICK_EDIT
Oh right, now i see it too. strange
Might look better if there was at least some kind of animation like lightnings or a particle stream going from the building to the flowing turret. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings
Because I posted the image only to clear up the block-headed inability to read the topic which was being exhibited by Dubzac, by showing a more up-to-date rendering of the intended model. The only decent render I had was one of the ones I made while discussing the idea of adding EMP to the shrine with Morpher. The turret does not float in the more complete version, where the cannon has additional detail and has been anchored to the building's top.
But I didn't have a nice render of that, so I posted what I had to work with, and mentioned that it was squarely WIP. And I made sure it was one of the ones with the blue background to further make sure that nobody would get confused and think it was finalised. The intent was to get any further ideas from the community before commiting it to mainline. QUICK_EDIT
Well yeah, but the way turret seems to wobble as it rotates gave me the impression it was supposed to float. Maybe that's just me. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
So the EMP has fire animations too?
So let me get this right, it's a "shrine" and EMP Cannon, or is that just the name? the name "Shrine" is usually associated with a tech center. So my guess is its a bit of both?

Yeah it's both an EMP Cannon and a Tech Center, a pretty challenging concept to understand but if I recall there were a few cryptic clues hidden throughout this thread to point those searching for the truth to the path of enlightenment.

Think of it more as the EMP cannon is now also a tech center, and is 2x3.

Nah it does seem to "float" about, I guess because the turret isn't quite perfectly centred. Looks nice though.
The turret rotation is correct. It's the irregular shape (rear bigger than front) and the tilted position which make it look like it's wobbling.
Anyway, an extremely nice idea to make the tech center also the emp cannon. Then no one will sell the tech center again while keeping the new construction options. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings
