New Tiberium Types in TSTW! Must see!

The DvD · Last edited by The DvD on Wed Oct 15, 2003 1:42 pm; edited 1 time in total

TSTW will have a nice amount of new tiberium types that will appear in TSTW maps but also in standard TS maps (if everything goes as planned).

Anyway, let the screens speak for themselves...

Description:

On this pic you can see two Tiberium Cruentus plants. This type of tiberium has no harvestable forms, just large plants like shown here.

Description:

This is a big Tiberium Aboreus plant.
Tiberium Aboreus is a new Tiberium Type that you'll find only in TSTW and (i think) TSR. However in different forms.

looks good though some I think need a better transition from ground to plant/crystal.

Yeah i've already added shadows to most but not to the last one, as it seems to emit light..

Wow, these are really impressive. Are they based on the concept art I found?
Its nice to see something good coming from it Smile

All I can say is.. I want it, and I want it now! Sad

Cooooooooooooooollll!!!!!!! Surprised

Thats an ART! Shocked

I really hope thos will be in the new version of Retro. Actually the blue riparius could be the new red or blue Tiberium maker. Really Great! 11/10 Very Happy

The orange flowers (the ones that were blue normally look funny. Laughing

I would just like to say, the Green Large Tiberium Riparius Crystal, the colouring doesn't fit in with the rest of the green tiberium.. it appears a little too pale, so perhaps if you can darken it, and make it a stronger shade of green? Then again, even that may not look right Laughing

The DvD · Posted: Fri Oct 17, 2003 4:16 pm Post subject:

Yes Muldrake, i know, but... it's a problem with TS itself really. The pallette the game uses to draw these plants, doesn't have that many shades of green..so i need to light it up with some lightposts on the map. It works well, i've achieved better results now than what you can see on the first pic.

Here's an example of the green crystal which not only has been edited to make it connect better to the ground, but also with added special lighing.

colours are better, but you need some shadows also...

Looks better, but I still think it needs better transition from ground to plant, it looks like it's just sitting there on top of the ground.

Transition it should look like it came out of the ground.

i agree, you should find a way to make it looks " from the ground"

and i agree with joe too Smile

, should be a little darker, just a little, not much

The DvD · Posted: Wed Oct 22, 2003 7:16 pm Post subject:

hmm yeah, the problem is, it should be on the green tiberium terrain, and the texture of that green tiberium terrain is different all the time so it's hard to make a fitting transition for it.

why isn' there harvestable forms of Tiberium Cruentus, can't you make it harvestable?

No, however Aboreus is harvestable . Cruentus are just plants/cristals..

You can make cruentus destoyable and make the debris spawn your new tiberium type.

Problem though. the Cruentus,needs to be a building(not a terrain object,like Fauna)

Why don't the Tiberian Fiends on the pic dig themselves in?
You should make the Civilian house Green btw, so the fiends and visceroids look green. Then they would look way better IMO.
