I've been keeping an eye on this mod for quite awhile, being a big fan of the old C&C series. I have to say I'm extrememly impressed with their progress so far. They have produced some of the most beautiful models I've ever seen in BF.

They have recenetly moved the mod to the Bf: Vietnam engine (and rightly so ) and I eagerly await their first realease, hopfully sometime soon.

Clicky for larger images.

That's a really cool idea. I like those units.

Though I'd say a C&C: Generals mod might get a bit more attention from the young uns.

And driving an overlord would be amazing.

Looking good, cant wait to jump into them orca's

hmm that would be quite a cool mod meshing two of my favourite games

Yeah it might be ok; Ive been watching this mod since day one of announcement, and the one thing they've lacked since then is skinners. Most of the models (and they've done ALL the TS units now) are nicely modelled, but don't have any skins., so lovely grey models

I think the well is seriously running dry for BF mod teams and people to work for them at this stage. Still though, lovely models as you said. Wonder if they will adapt any aspects of the "Empires" mod, which has base building and resource collecting (in BF!) cos that would be damn cool

Wot would you need to become a "skinner"? Wot toolz(3D Max/Photoshop/wot?) and most importantly, are there any basic tutorials on the subject?

Photoshop Or Paint Shop Pro is what most people use; and you generally need a good artisitic background (and experience!). Skinners are the guys who put the dents and dirt and camouflage on all those lovely tanks and planes, taking those gray models (look at the temple of nod above) and putting a skin over the model to make it look .. well... "real" (look at the wolverine).
The only tutorials are ... draw. There really are no a-z's or get-good-quicks for that sorta thing, just start with stuff like making stone/metal textures and work from there. and "Photoshop metal texture tutorial" in google yields a wealth of basic tutorials.
Most skinners have experience with "unwrapping" models, but you wouldn't need to know that straight away. start small with surface textures, as that's 99% of the skinner's work.

ya know I played TS back in the day, not online though but I loved that game,. Everyone harped on about how bad it was but I thought it was the most underrated game(and the bestest ) of the C&C series..sheer brilliance in a box, this looks fantastic!
