Planetside Dev Tracker

The shield shader will be applied once it’s in the game engine. This shiny material is just for my own benefit when modeling it in blender. In game and film dev we don’t always have the same shaders in our modeling software as will be used when the asset is done.

Will do.

Which shiny bars? The windows? The windows are shielded yes.

There is a spawn room in the tower with a vertical shaft to the roof antenna for fast defense from an elevated position as well as a spiral staircase down to the roof deck from the spawn room and a grab lift to the deck from the 2nd floor.

All the 3D artists at rogue planet use it.

Hey guys, just thought I'd share a Work in Progress shot before I head out for the weekend. I don't wanna over-do it and you get sick of me, but I think it's looking pretty cool.

Just a note though, this lighting is in blender and not in-game which tends to be less dramatic/high contrast for game play reasons. Have a great weekend!

There is a fat pillar just inside the door to function as a line of sight blocker and to split attackers as well as provide more of a choke to keep vehicles out. Same with the garage. Support struts inside will act as a porous wall to prevent vehicles from getting in but let players pass.

The vehicle ramp does start inside the building. It’s unseen in this shot but the ramp starts at the edge of the vehicle pad itself and the dark sides are more guide rails when exiting. The ramp extends down for a while to the skirt and is at a gentle grade.

Preinstalled currently.

I asked that too but it just recreates the same issue of needing to support a large depth difference on all sides of the structure foundation. And it wouldn't really solve it, since then one side would have a massive wall from the block face where the other side is close to the surface.

Keeping the footprint of the building tight, and building in access ramps to each doorway is really the ideal solution.

Ya want:

1. Smaller footprint to require less unobstructed area.
2. Tall skirt to support vastly different terrain height from all sides.
3. Ramps to all doors perpendicular with doorway stairs to offer access at extreme height differences without expanding the footprint.

All stairs are secretly ramps... you see any IK on those feet?

That's up to design. We all pitched ideas, but there's allot of factors to take into account that "sound cool in my head" but when I discuss it with a real designer -- who understands the meta and game wide impact of every cool idea I have -- I am humbled by how complex and interdependent it all is.

There are control points at the base of contonstrction elements which define the low-high range of terrain that is acceptable for placement. With the long skirt below the foundation line, it should be very forgiving. And we're adding ramps like this to ensure if the terrain at the front is higher than the back there's still easy access.

I'm doing everything I can to keep the footprint small at the foundation, hence the overhanging design which was suggested by Wrel to offer more play space without demanding larger flat areas.

Hi, actually this isn't anything from the containment site, but the look does feel less boxy and cleaner like we saw in the site with more rounded elements. Whether the older props get a fresh coat of paint is mostly dependent how long getting the new stuff in will take and if we have time left to go back and touch up older models. But I'm game for it.

It was mentioned that the door ramp might be too short for uneven terrain. Wrel had similar feedback and so we added a split ramp to keep the footprint tight and avoid oddly extending the stairs. Hope this addresses your concerns.

The base pivot is really above the first or second step but I added a split ramp that follows the round exterior to help people get on with uneven terrain without extending the footprint too much. So noted, and addressed.

It will indeed.

Something like that should be possible, but I'll need to take a look.
