Updated Recognizer!
I tweaked the graphics on this to perfection.
all the edge highlights are the same width now.
It's ready to be a kill-zone now!!!
(with slower rotation & faster chase-movement than the killzone has now)
or it could face slowly towards its direction of travel (dictated by: nearest bike gets its attention)

thanks!
I tried a test on this tron recognizer while adjusting the texture, the front&back "breast plate" center trapezoid, u will notice is 1/2 the color of the bike color you choose & 1/2 black.
I did this by using a mapping style called xyz-to-uvw
that mapping style causes texture to get "tiled" an EXTREME amout of times.. like 1 full 256x256 texture map per um "pixel in worldspace" on the breastplate. or 1000 texturmap tiles per polygon.
so's anyways, I did that to see if it would slow the engine down, and it didnt,.. and it looked kinda cool like I wanted it to, so I left it,..
I zoomed WAY in on the breastplate of the recogniser inside a-tron, but I couldnt see the individual tiles.. it may be it blends them so much they blurr into each other.. i've used that mapping teqnique b4 in a different game & u could zoom in & see it in game. blah blah blah and it didnt slow down the other game either..
blah
so anyway..... we can do half-tones on bikes like glows 2 different shades of the color you pick on the polygons you want it to..
blah

theres been talk about it.. ^root down wrote:wow...if you could have that thing flyign around instead of the red killzone boundaries, i'd love you guys
I think it would add alot to the game, nostalga & ambiance wize.
plus, movie quality tanks will be TOO MANY POLYGONS!
this recognizer has only 284 triangles
I might model this soon, would anyone else like to drive it?
or this!!

this is the final version I promise!
I felt like getting it UBER-PERFECT
In case it becomes a game asset in 2.8 or 9.3 or whatever
(yes, that is Jeff Bridges driving the damned thing)
enjoy

Blender Models...
I am attempting to learn how to use Blender 3d. I've become VERY interested into making skins for this game... Now I want to tackle 3d modeling. Where, if possible, can I find a Blender version of the original movie pack cycle.ase file??? I just want to tinker with the model a bit. I think it would help me better understand how it works. AND to have an actual model to tinker with. Thanx in advance.
