Damn, I love those crystals. A mod to spawn actual Tiberium on planets would be amazing.

Here it is, finally got the survival-friendly version uploaded. Part of the delay though was because I got a bit uh... busy, lol. Hope you like it and the others :)

Any tips/advice for setting up a good surrounding theme like this? While I'm used to building small grid vehicles and such, I struggle with the presentation side of things, lol.

Awesome Tiberium crystals btw

I'll be waiting

Understood, and it definitely came out very well too, which is why I was inspired to actually try one for survival use. I'm currently still in the process of figuring out the Hunter tank unit myself, so I will want to finish that first before I make a Predator attempt. I decided to try that one a little different from its C&C4 counterpart by turning it into a personnel transport though. Maybe I'll post the Orca effort as well when I get the tank figured out :)

@Cmdr. DoomForge™ Well look, despite the fact that the tank I built from light armor, it is not that very light. if you throw out the blocks of artificial mass and strengthen the main projections, then yes it will become "stronger". and yet the reserve of traction it is not very high because of the small number of wheels. I understand that all this is solvable, but I was primarily interested in working with the form and most importantly with the mod on the tracks )
If you can build what you're talking about, be sure to post it in the comments, I'd love to see what comes out ;3

@PenPen Thank you . despite the fact that I spent about 6 hours on it (for me it is not enough, many other grids I build for 10-15 hours), I tried and resorted to some unusual designs and techniques .

The more I think about it, the more I feel like challenging myself to make my own, lol. I know its possible to have a combat viable build that is also survival-friendly, though might take the liberty of adding an anti-personnel turret as an upgrade.

Best replica of a C&C unit I've seen so far in this game without using 1 gorbillion mods

they're just blocks of lightweight, small-grid armor

I forgot to ask before, but I was curious: what texture skin is that being used for the corner markings where the tank is parked on that pad platform? They seem a little too close together to actually just be armor panels.

thats sick!

Freaking love this thing. Wish I could build tanks like this.

@Molten Carnage, real tracks are covered, yes, but they aren't covered for the reasons you imply. In tank combat, you shoot center of mass and if the target is hit, it dies. That's it. There is no "aim for the tracks" nonsense. Any mobility-kill scored against a tank will be done by infantry or mines, both of which will attack the track where it contacts the road.

I saw the sloped front tracks and immediately thought "GUNHED"

Looks cool, and I get that the treads are only cosmetic, but real tanks have their treads covered for a reason. If the treads were to have collision boxes, these top side exposed treads would be akin to a giant neon sign saying "shoot here"

predator rolling out !

predator crew ready to roll

@CamTCC
I've wanted to build a raptor for a very long time, but I was stopped by the fact that I couldn't adequately visualize the tracks without using a hundred subgrids.
I couldn't believe that a mod was released that allows you to create an interactive trucks and I couldn't get excited to see how it worked.
I realize that GDI tanks should have very wide tracks, but the predator, for example, it does not interfere much.
But with the mammoth already yes, I am still in the process of solving this problem, but I am afraid that I will either not get the desired effect, or in the track belt will be too much gap.
In any case, the next grid in the queue is a Orca, and its appearance is more than satisfied with me, it turned out quite "copy", except maybe a couple of moments, but damn it, I made her movable wings, which are not useless !

@JohnJ44
The crystals themselves were assembled from blocks of light armor, painted in lime green, plus a texture of dyeable neon. well, all the crystals, among other things, stand on a base of magnetic plates that would not run away)
Further, voxel brush with texture Alien green grass I drew "veins" on the voxel. this texture is very well suited, as it has a "fat shine" and one small visual bug, and if you put the sun in a certain position, this texture begins to stand out very strongly against the background of other voxels.
and the glow effect was made with a spotlight with green color and different settings of the range of the spotlight, which I placed under the voxels as close to the crystals as possible.
The "glow" effect can be increased by setting the weather to "light fog".

How did you get the Tiberium effect?

Ah, my old friend the Predator-class MBT. Didn't know how much I missed this design... despite the total lack of track coverings the thing has in the first place, it's an awesome MBT. Sweet work. Sweet work indeed...

Very good! Hope to see more!

thank you, comrades ж3

Amazing!

This looks epic

dope asf

make all C&C units lol

топчик

Seems I didn't have an updated lone screenshot for it, lol. Mine uses 2 mods in it right now for the O2 tanks and thrusters but that's it. Here's how the Orca attempt went:

ouccchh nice work

@Cmdr. DoomForge™
I have plans to try to build a Mammoth tank and an Orca )

I decided to build it with the gauss gun, because it's angular, and because of that it's easier.
I don't like the look of the assault cannon with plates on all sides.

Not bad, definitely captures the overall design of it nicely. Hadn't tried making one myself, but I did attempt an Orca and Paladin along with a rotor-less version for the Hammerhead.

Btw funny you can actually make both before and after upgrade with assault and railgun respectively.

The tiberium on the background really sells it man. This is just perfect!

вкусно

it's a replica of a unit from C&C3.

Definitely deserves to be the tank from some kind of sci-fi. Keep it up, mate)

это вкусна
