"Your feeling of helplessness is your best friend, savage!". Just got Brain Freeze playing in my head.

 

[WhiteFang]

YES!! It's finally here. Been fun watching this grow over these past few weeks. Glad to see it finally released,this is great.

 

[Daffa]

Now, to give the system matches this

 

[Wasabee]

Yuri is master! Hail to the great Yuri!

Awesome! I've been waiting for this and the animations looks sick!

 

[Misha]

Ah, this has turned out really well, and kudos on adding in all the animations.. although i kinda don't remember those black rods ever changing color oO still, it is nice.
Wonder what's next; flying saucer? Boomer submarine? Magnetron? Ore Miner? Yuri Prime?

Now, to give the system matches this

let's just tweak the mastermind system that was made for my tank. provided it still works in reforged

@WhiteFang, @apcrabnightlive, @darkravenbest Thanks a lot! Yuri will be proud!

@Daffa Let's go! Can't wait for it!

Thanks a lot, chief! Uhm, the rods turning golden is based off an unused animation in the YR game files, and I've also seen it in use in Mental Omega 3.3 lol.

I have quite a few plans for what's next... Battle Bunker, War Miner, Tank Bunker and maybe the GDI Component Tower in Tiberian Sun. Maybe I should create a list in pastebin for all those plans lol. I also have plans to make all the Tech buildings, standard arsenal buildings and even campaign buildings like Yuri Statue and Mayan Pyramid lol

Now that you said it, maybe I should upload an edition with the goldening animations removed?

@Daffa, @Misha Sounds great! Hmmm, though maybe we can also fix the Mastermind system along the way. (The Mastermind keeps overloading even when it no longer controls more than 3 units once overloaded. And maybe we can replace the Arcane Tower missile indicator with custom lightning effects which would work better I believe?)

 

[Misha]

@Nepumin no, every single anim is a bonus on itself, and a good model does have a good amount of extra stuff. the days of worrying about filesize have passed. also it is definitely neat of you to include what was cut content. aka the golden rods anim

 

[Vinz]

Nice job. Maybe add more death FX.
Looking forward to what's next.

The Myth has spoken! Thank you!

That sounds like a good idea

 

[Johnsen]

Awesome looking! It's cool to see such a feature-rich asset

 

[bear_369]

Great job! It looks authentic to the original

 

[Cherrymage]

Great job! It looks authentic to the original

Thanks Blanc!

Yes and I feel very accomplished for that. Went to great lengths to make sure the birth animation matches closely to the original, and I even included the ruined animation varieties too!

Though it took me a long while to make it lol
And of course hours of screaming in frustration as I iron out all the bugs I notice lol

 

[_lycan]

This is pretty sick ngl

 

[Kyrbi0]

This is pretty incredible; the attention to detail is impeccable.

I also have to give mega-props to your extensively detailed & comprehensive Description/Credits write-up; this is the stuff other modelers should aspire to.

@Misha let me know if you end up fixing/improving the Mastermind trigger system, since I'm using that for my Trolls as well (and the Psychic Tower version might fit better anyway)

This. Even the description is high quality,it's very aesthetic and neatly organized.

 

[Henry_AC]

Whenever I see something related to Red Alert 2...

I automatically: Kirov reporting!

 

[Jaccouille]

Looks dope, what did you use blender for? The basic meshes?

Thanks!

Yes, but also texture wrapping and the bones

I don't do triggers and spellcrafting, Kyrbi0. We'll need some other brainiac with plenty of free time to make sense of and improve the mastermind system and its code.

I know you don't; IIRC it was Tank_Commander who wrote the code for it.

However I figured that no matter who did it, you would end up knowing about it, so pinging you made sense. : )

Creation of the humanoids.
Power to overwhelm and destroy.
The product of a torturned brain.

 

[ILH]

Interesting modern structure.
Works in-game. Approved!

 

[The_Silent]

"Be one with Yuri!"

Great work, looks authentic to the one in Red Alert 2

 

[MasterHaosis]

I liked this psychic tower! Yuri will be proud!

 

[Nicolas_Z_013]

Impressive work! I'm also a CNC fan and create a lot of work to simulate red alert in war3!

 

[Cherrymage]

@Nicolas_Z_013 awesome, hope to see some of your work in the future

that said, i was originally planning to make more models, but life has been rather tiring lately lol. who knows if i'll return and make a battle bunker model for example

I actually have a Red Alert 1 map but did not translate it to English yet. Hopefully, I may start a map of Yuri's revenge someday.

 

[Syczewski]

Cool. Have you considered making more buildings from RA2?

 

[Cherrymage]

Cool. Have you considered making more buildings from RA2?

Yes

I had plans to make the Tank Bunker and the Battle Bunker next.

However, I struggled a lot in making the damaged/ruined Battle Bunker variant, and put everything on hold since then.

But life sometimes get in the way sadly
