RA2 YR Mastermind Tank

Here's (after a loong wait :p) A Mastermind Tank model, from "Red Alert 2 - Yuri's Revenge" game. Made and animated from scratch.

Great help and credit go to General Frank for animating the tracks and overall texture anim help, and to Thrikodius, for adding the particles and a few more things

Textures were made by 67chrome :)

Give credit to Misha and 67chrome if you use.

RA2 YR Mastermind Tank (Model)

A very good representation of the Red Alert 2 model. Excellent texture, smooth animation and an acceptable size round up this wonderful model. Works in-game and performs well.

THats AWESOME!!!!
Man! Epic!! just in the picture i already give 5/5 to that one! and rep point too!
:D
this is one of the models that if i look too much my eye will be bleeding! :)
:grin:
take this proudly 5/5 and rep points :thumbs_up:

Edit:

and i dint understand why that wasnt approved yet... :S
 
Mesh - 5/5 - Wow, pretty fricken' nice. Love them little details, like the wires on top and the little doodads on it. Makes for a nice sophisticated piece of machinery compared to some other tank models which are just 'cubes'.
Anims - 3/5 - Seeing as it is a tank, it could've used some more steam and sparks every now and then. The only time I saw some mechanical particles was in Stand Hit, which, looked like the tank reacted to a creepy old guy groping its ass. There's no attack anim, but I'm assuming that it is supposed to be like that.
Texture - 4/5 - Oh god, it's 67chrome. The only thing I have against it is that I think it could've looked more grimey, battle-worn and a real fighting machine, not some digital-age brand new vacuum cleaner.
Use - 4/5 - Well, it can come in handy with alot of modern warfare maps as some kind of support vehicle, but the texture should be compressed and resized to 256x256.

Overall - 16/20 - [4/5] - Mesh is fantastic, anims are average, texture is superb, and it is very useful. I give you a good old 4/5. The only suggestions I have is to fix up some anims (maybe even removing stand hit) and perhaps optionally giving the texture a more gritty look. Btw, if you'd like I can make an icon for this model, and I can send it to you for you to upload.

Looks pretty good. Good job about the Model & Texturing.
It just could use some more nade animations. Even if its mind control, you could make a light beam comming out from it or whatever.

blue pulses, or grav waves coming from the object being lifted? That could be added seperately. :/ And would show that they were being lifted by the mind.
 
Actually I'd like some extra animations with some glow or whatever... that would look cool, I mean, you could use it for some kind of channel or whatever spell...

I am staying true to how the unit performed and looked in the original game. and that is that o_O putting a decay and dissipate was just a war3-requirement :/
 
ahahahahaha laughed so hard when i saw this... meny hours spent massing yuri clones at the cloneing vats. the yuris come marching two by two horaaa...horaaa

first thing that came to mind when i saw this ancient relic of a game unit:

''lets make some Friends..." "We are on diplomatic mission" in that deep droning pedophile voice

awsome tank-we need phycic towers now and initiates! support structures and infintry for this tank!

this things awsom even without lights and what not, tho, there was animations for it in game...if i recall correctly if it ''absorbed'' too meny minds at once after reaching the cap of 3 the thing started to die... perhaps some kind of ''rocking back n forth'' dieing animations? and what kinds of attachment points dos it have for fire and what not?

ahh yes already has that >.<

still a 8.5/9 out of 10 its pretty well built. cool lookin too, like the colors.

Has that :> "stand hit" anim, which must be triggered by triggers in war3
and what kinds of attachment points dos it have for fire and what not?
mainly a few fires on the coolers

,,Enter the think tank!" ,,I am the MasterMind" ,,Mastermind on the move" ,,We are on diplomatic mission" ,,This will be painless" ,,Always looking for new ideas"

Guys, Command and conquer is my area, I am modding this thing even today, I have plenty of mods for Yuris revenge and Generals.

masterMind is actually tank with artificial brain at top of it, and it can multiple mind control units. After capturing thee units, it is ,,full" when capture fourth unit and above, it starts to damage itself, because mastermind's brain will overload, and unit will explode after some time. Of course, unless it gt again to three mind controlled units at max.
In many mods, including my own, MasterMind can safe control up to 4 units, and it cannot overload anymore.
be noticed, when you destroy mastermind, mind controlled units will be free again.
In WC3, I wonder how mind control can be done anyway, something like charm I suppose.
Anyway, I can give to anyone who wants sounds from masterMind.

Da
great
:cgrin:
rep for this!
