Hey guys, Avalon here. If youve been checking my GitHub, (its up in the other things menu in the nav bar), youve probably seen a lot of activity on it recently. Theres a pretty good reason for this. All of my skins and remodels now have HD textures. Ultimately this may mean very little to you, and thats ok, but it was a needed step in bringing my remodels up to proper standards. Additionally several of the remodels sport new vehicle registration numbers: 'Fireball' is 07BA26 (a real Centurion Mk. 3) 'Dragon' is 00SP36 (this is the real VRN of the 105mm L7 armed Charioteer) 'Viper' is 07BA67 (this is the Conway that currently resides at Bovington Tank Museum). 'Thunderbolt' and 'Dreadnought' retain their original VRNs. In addition, as I said in my previous post, Dreadnought has been updated to support the 9.21 Paint system: Yes... that is a Yellow, Blue and Green Centurion Action X. The eagle eyed of you may notice that there are some portions of the hull that arent covered in paint. The reason for this is that the vehicles that those parts came from dont support the system themselves, so they cant be supported by me either. As they are updated, and remodels using parts like that (and lets face it a great many of mine do) will be updated. If you notices any issues with the textures after this update please let me know and I'll see what I can do about fixing it. As for further updates, Ive put the Type 59 'Legend' on hold. I was unhappy with how it was turning out, and dont really have good ideas for it right now. This means that the on deck remodel is now the FV221 Caernarvon Mk. 2 'Bullpup'. With luck (and me not being lazy), this one may be out for Christmas. After that I have plans for a special Conqueror remodel as well as a Historical Restoration, for those of you who would rather their Conqueror look like the real thing. After that, I may revisit the 'Legend' or move on to the FV4005 or Chieftain Mk. 6 (which will likely come with an option to replace the CAX with, just so it can be used and enjoyed). In the off chance I dont get 'Bullpup' out before Christmas, I'll just leave you with this very festive Centurion Mk. 3: Merry Christmas guys!
~ Avalon304 So its the eve of 9.21. A new customization system looms on the horizon. Im here to tell you just what the effect it will have on my skins and remodels.
At the beginning, I will not be supporting the new paint system that the system brings. This means none of my remodels will get to be coloured pink or blue or whatever other colour you want. Camouflage will still continue to work, as it has before (with the exception of any chassis camo which cease to function due to how the new customization system functions), but any of the additional paint colours wont work until I go through and update EVERY model. With that being said, my remodels need updating anyway. They all use SD textures still (mostly as a result of my modeling workflow). So as I go through and update them with HD textures I'll also update them to support the new paint system, which will let you pain your tanks whatever colours the game lets you. The time line for this update process is not fixed and will happen as I decide to do it, so please dont ask for an ETA because the answer will be "When its done". Permaskin removals are unaffected by this new system as you still arent able to customize those tanks. As new permaskinned tanks are released, I'll continue to release skin removals for them. My other Misc. Skins should also be unaffected, as they dont change actual models. (The exceptions are the ISU-152-2 and the M48A1 Restoration as the models dont have the necessary files to support to new system, the Historical Caernarvon Restoration, which will be updated as part of the other process and the 3 Chinese server tanks.). Other than that, I have a Type 59 remodel in the work, to bring its visual model up to part with botht he T-34-3 and WZ-120 HD models as te Type is an older model with less interesting stuff on it. After that I maybe do a Caernarvon remodel (which will incorporate my Historical restoration) and then after that I dunno. Thats all for now guys. Take care and see you on the battlefield. ~ Avalon304 |
