People who represent themselves with animals isn't too far from people who think they're animals

As someone with a dumb story thats somewhat similar its possible he was ignorant. For me, I knew that it was persistent warfare but I didn't know how long a single war could last and how complicated the mechanics were. I would need to put a lot of time & energy into it that I just simply didn't have available at the time.

Despite all this, the hour that I played was absolutely wonderful! I chose Colonials, spawned in, had no idea what I was doing. So I grabbed a rifle & asked if some people were willing to help me out & sure enough someone was willing to assist me. He was apparently supposed to take a supply truck north twords the front lines so he had me tag along.

We drove to some town and delivered the supplies then a squad came by gathering people for a counter attack to repel some kind of push the Wardens were doing. We joined up with them & headed deeper into the town where I would be in my first (and only) fire fight! I was however killed in battle by an off screen enemy without even firing my rifle once....

And that was it. My little experience with the game. I graduated this summer & will be getting my own place soon enough. Once I get myself a good PC I'm 100% going to play this game long term.

Just texture them as warehouses

drowsy garnet

Is it meant to be nimated at the end? If yes, go for first person you'll have less stuff to animate

it took me 2 days to sort out the issues in the mod builder, im so happy it finally works

round moth
#

if only coh 2 was as moddable as coh1 was

#

so u could replace tank models and soldier models

daring ferry
#

i mean we can always try to get the closest models as possible

round moth
#

then again u could just go to coh1 and do it, that game does many things better than coh2 at the end of the day

daring ferry
#

i don't own coh1 x)

round moth
#

shameful

#

coh2 isnt a perfect sequel, get coh1 when u can

daring ferry

i really like coh2 (partly because of the graphics) x)

round moth

it barely improves graphics wise game to game

#

lol

halcyon lantern

CoH2 is great but fuck me, when's the 64 bit finally coming?

round moth
#

coh2 is good, not great though

#

doctrines > generals, coh1 map design > coh2 map design, coh1 menu > coh2 menu

daring ferry
halcyon lantern
#

Are you actually modding in the factions or just the emblems?

round moth
#

u cant mod in custom models into coh2 as said above

#

(mod coh1 instead)

daring ferry
#

its just a decal pack

#

so it only changes the emblems

halcyon lantern
#

I play CoH2 with mods as well, but I mean like a "faction" mod, basically renaming and changing stats of vehicles to those from foxhole

daring ferry
#

yeah i was thinking about that also

round moth
#

why tho

halcyon lantern
#

Collies would just have riflemen uniforms while wardens uhh... rear echelons?

#

Dunno who else wears coats.

daring ferry
#

or sturmpios in winter

#

and summer blue partisans

round moth
#

I mean to me that really seems like wasted effort but could just be me ig

daring ferry
#

i don't have the talent to make custom models anyway

halcyon lantern
#

Eh, it depends how hard modding is. If Someone just wants to do it for fun then go for it.

#

That'd require some basic knowledge of CoH2 modding tho

daring ferry
#

the modding editor is pretty easy to use as long as you don't fuck up the folder tree or the IDs

#

for balance packs you literally pick stuff from a library once you have made the basic file structure, the mod editor does a lot for you

halcyon lantern

Hair was kinda lazy this time. The shading I mean, kinda sloppy in some spots.

neat niche
#

In all honesty pretty good art

#

Just that hotdog

halcyon lantern
#

hey I eat that type of simplistic hot dog irl

dire plinth
#

Not really, it looks okay to me. And I have a big struggle with hair since I am forced to paint every lock of hair, mostly because my artstyle is pretty much painting over painting (I apply a lot of principles from oil or acrilic painting)

neat niche
halcyon lantern
#

Yeah I like your style a lot, though it looks to be really time-consuming.

#

meanwhile mine is kinda slowly evolving from just doodling lineart, my next goal is more dynamic poses though, Bubba did them and I should finally start making more as well. Not that I can't, but I just never get around to it due to The Lazies

dire plinth
#

It is very consuming, but I compensate through shortcuts (using shortcuts on keyboard, having helpful self-made brushes, working on a clean canvas and workspace in Photoshop, thinking only about the big picture and leaving unrendered or low rendered details where the camera is losing focus, etc.)

halcyon lantern
#

Huuh, good idea.

dire plinth
#

And to be honest, it is less consuming once you get used to it, you just start color picking and cutting edges, it isn't really rocket science, you can do it, too. With the correct brush for the correct job, you can achieve anything. (Boring brushes achieve boring results)

halcyon lantern
#

Right, meanwhile I just G-pen my way through the lineart and then use the fill tool and a watercolour brush for colours.

dire plinth
#

Brushes aren't everything and they are never gonan make a difference, unless you use them in the correct way. Like, I made myself a hair brush out of parallel lines. I also use it fod grass, and here is the result:

#

I say you should use both G and maru. You using clip studio? (Aka ex-manga studio)

halcyon lantern
#

Yeah

#

What's Maru?

dire plinth
#

Another type of tip

halcyon lantern
#

Is it in pens or brushes?

dire plinth
#

Pens

#

Uhh, a type of nib, actually.

#

And I think clip does have it.

halcyon lantern
#

Hell I'm not sure it's within the default ones, unless it's named differently

dire plinth
#

Well, funny, cause in MS 4 you had it, in 5, too

halcyon lantern
#

is it more like the caligraphy pen? With changing width depending on the angle?

dire plinth
#

Yeah, most of pens in manga studio had it, idk if clip studio has them, too.

halcyon lantern
#

(out of pens, not markers nor pencils)

dire plinth
#

I see that's why.

#

Maru is a very thin nib. You use it mostly for distant details, but it is a very lovely contrast between it and Saji (the common, most used one, basically the one you'd use the most)

halcyon lantern
#

Well you can downscale each, but I assume there's more to it

dire plinth
#

Indeed, it is about the amount of pressure, the threshold, mostly about how they look depending on the angle and the amount of pressure you put while using the same brush, or in this case, pen scale.

halcyon lantern
#

What is it mainly useful for?

#

Hair?

dire plinth
#

Everything, but if you ask me, I would use it for small fine details, let's say hair, the circles you maks in the eye, maybe the mouth, idk, you name it. It's about line contrast.

halcyon lantern
#

Huh, so it's a bit better at handling long, thin lines?
Cause the G-pen has this thing of making the middle a tad thick depending on the pressure applied.

dire plinth
#

Exactly.

halcyon lantern
#

Maybe I can find some free one on the Clip Studio thingo

dire plinth
#

Might not look like it, but my first contact with arts was through inking. This is like the last thing I did lineart only. All others since then were painted.

#

I miss this thing, I wish to come back into comic books, manga, etc.

halcyon lantern
#

Woah

dire plinth
#

But am bad at cel shading. Really bad. I still end up painting.

halcyon lantern
#

Eh, I haven't gotten that good at cell shading either, but that's due to me being in this weird limbo between wanting nice, smooth shading and stylistic simplicity.

dire plinth
#

Though, you'd only win if you'd do cell shading and then smoothing it out a bit with some smooth realistic shading. But it won't work without contrast. Like in comic book, you sometimes see smooth shading, but when it is used, it is shaded using blue instead of idk, brown or dark red, for skin, for example.

#

Without that contrast, it would look dull.

halcyon lantern
#

I generally use some sort of simplified realistic shading, where when there's some round surface, it recieves smooth shading, but if there's something casting a shadow ontop of something else, that is done sharp.

dire plinth
#

Got an example?

halcyon lantern
#

Uhh, I had this one I did in a hurry for a friend's birthday, so it was done using the blur tool. I don't often colourise until very recently.

dire plinth
#

Ah, but hey, what you do is exactly the bery basic principle of shading.

halcyon lantern
dire plinth
#

Yeah, that is correct, but see, it isn't shading that looks dull, but the colours.

#

Though the shading you did was correct, too

halcyon lantern
#

Glad to hear that

#

Though yes, this picture is like many of mine done in a big white box.

#

...that doesn't cast reflecting light

#

I'm aware of how bright surfaces usually reflect the light back onto the object, but I generally don't go for backgrounds currently, but I do keep it in mind for the future.

dire plinth
#

Hey, I can give this one as a good example. My art teacher helped me a lot. He told me: always make the colours roam on the painting. I think it is pretty obvious I have like 3-4 colours in total in here.

#

Though, he taught me contrast with this one.

halcyon lantern
#

I see

dire plinth
#

The fact you can shade this well, it doesn't matter if the backgroudn is white, it is more about the connection between the shadow and light. Also, in your case, the blue gloves should have been more saturated. While the coat looks really okay with that sort of gray. As a general rule, all dark surfaces will look much more saturated in colour on shadows, while the light coloured surfaces will look less saturated.

halcyon lantern
#

Hmm...

dire plinth
#

On top of that, shading with colours adds to the chromatic, let's call it, variation, or depth of the drawing.

#

But shading with black is never ever considered a mistake. You can use black just as well.

#

But it is always about the way you render it and the contrast.

halcyon lantern
#

I already try to use separate shadow layers for different hues/colours, but the thing with darkness and saturation I haven't heard I think.

daring ferry
#

Why do you have to overcomplicate things, reject art, embrace schematics

halcyon lantern
#

so that's a first, thanks for letting me know

dire plinth
#

Mhm, try to explore it on paintings, even anime paintings do that pretty often, I saw it in heroes comic books, too.

halcyon lantern
#

Yeah, I'd have to try drawing something as a dedicated test of colour composition. I'll try to come up with some idea for it.

dire plinth
#

Sowwy, low quality (:

halcyon lantern
#

no probs, I can see the important bits, like her neck casting different shadows than her left shoulder, probably due to being surrounded by dark hair and such.

dire plinth
#

Look at the blue and the red on their clothes, then check the most saturated colour on the skin.

#

Skin is pale, most saturated colour is just dark, and also pale. Though for a darker colour, it is more saturated, more vibrant in shadow.

halcyon lantern
#

Yeah I can see.

#

I'll have to give it some testing.

#

I think the bag could have used more saturation on the shadow.

dire plinth
#

Ah, perfect, so, fro mthe middle line, the more you go under it, the more you go after the more saturated dark red. The more you go above with the main colour, the more you go to the white (so you start losing the saturation of the colour)

#

In thsi case, with that red, lights should have been a bit above the middle line, shadows a bit bellow.

halcyon lantern
#

ah

dire plinth
#

The closer you are to white on the colour picker, the more you start using the darker but less saturated values, to the left side of the picker, the closer you are to black, the more you start using the more saturated, more red colours, to the right.

halcyon lantern
#

Aaah, I think I got it

#

Wait wait...

dire plinth
#

Yep

halcyon lantern
#

...but when it is here...? Wait are you talking exclusively about the shadows right now?

dire plinth
#

Yes.

#

When it is there, you go down, but closer to gray.

halcyon lantern
#

Oooh wait... so the shadow loses saturation from the basic colour?

dire plinth
#

Yeah!

halcyon lantern
#

...what about things in the exact middle line? do they go straight down?

dire plinth
#

If the base colour is lighter, it is losing the saturation in shadow, if the base colour is darker, vice versa.

drowsy garnet
#

.. ewww colors

dire plinth
#

You can do lights with the above and shading with colours below.

#

If it's in the middle.

halcyon lantern
dire plinth
#

Nah, first one is too gray, give it a bit more colour, buf it is okay.

halcyon lantern
#

oh so not too much

violet plank
#

shadowing also changes depending on the art style you use :P first one fits for a more gray art style, maybe for a game on Mars or something

dire plinth
#

Yeah, don't go crazy, especially on lighter colours.

halcyon lantern
#

but still reduced from the standard colour

dire plinth
#

That is a bit better.

halcyon lantern
#

So I presume the lighter the colour, the less of a difference the shadow should have...?

#

Hmm, there's one thing that doesn't add up though! That being skin, most artists I've seen had the shadow of the skin be a bit more saturated than the standard tone, not less! I'mma provide an example.

dire plinth
#

@violet plank indeed, but styles are pretexts, the way you visualize, yet you shouldn't ignore the fundamentals. All I am saying is related to physics. It is related to the amount of light an object absorbs which gives us information on the colour, too. Reason why the picker above has 2 sliders: brightness and saturation.

halcyon lantern
#

So here's two skinballs, one the system provided by you, and on the right - more-or-less the one I use.
That being - skin shadow being more saturated and more reddish (orangey tbp) than the standard one

dire plinth
#

Ah, problem here is that skin can't really be this bright.

halcyon lantern
#

Huh.

dire plinth
#

The skin colour you used is too bright.

#

In the example.

#

Do the same with a bit of a darker tone

#

And go towards orange a bit more

halcyon lantern
#

Hmm

dire plinth
#

I mean, it does look right according to what I said, but it is too bright to look good using the base principle. That's why thd one on the irght looks better. Though, it looks like there is a very bright light casted on the skin which creates a very saturated shadow (to create contrast, that isn't a principle, it is just a way of making things look cool which isn't wrong at all)

halcyon lantern
#

I can provide some artists that I really enjoy the shading of, that I'd likely aspire to in the future.

dire plinth
#

Wait, you changed the hue, too for thd one on the right?

halcyon lantern
#

Nope

#

It's the same hue as the one on the left

#

I can change it tho

dire plinth
#

Ow, but it did.

halcyon lantern
#

for the worse? ...or better? I'm genuinely asking

dire plinth
#

For the better.

halcyon lantern
#

Yeah I think I've noticed that in the past, that changing shadows to be more orangey makes the skin look more alive

dire plinth
#

Dimension. Next thing you can play with after you apply what I siad is to play with the hue.

#

But thati s on the big picture, with base, light and shadow.

halcyon lantern
#

Though I'm still puzzled by the skin-tone luminosity thing, most artists I gain inspiration from use very bright and pale skin, while the shiny parts are even paler.

dire plinth
#

Here comes the thing: fundamentals are always related fo realism.

halcyon lantern
#

Yeah I assume so. My sis also motivates me to learn realism first.

dire plinth
#

In this one, the artist used a lot of browns, skin colour, warm colours, so, to make things vibrant, he used a very saturated shadow on skin.

#

Buf that is because he understand the fundamental and he used other principles.

#

So many other lighter coloured parts on the character, so he took the freedom to consider her skin tone a darker colour. In relationship to the big picture, her skin is pretty dark. So that shadow makes sense. But if you want to go for a fantasy look, you start adding saturation in all shadows.

#

Comic books, again, they play with hues and dark colours for shadows and lights. Lots and lots of contrasts, too.

#

What I gave you was a fundamental. Once you understand it, you understand how it works, so you know how to play with it in different ways. Like I said here, the skin is a light colour taken separately. But look at her feet, that leather looks pretty bright, too, so if you take them together, her skin is much darker than her clothes, in relationship to the leather on her boots which is the darkest colour.

halcyon lantern
#

Hmm.

But look at that! Her shadow is forming an illusion. The border between shadow and base colour has been darkened with a more orange colour, while the real shadow on the skin is also less saturated.

This person does know how to play with colour the way they want. Just saw how there is a variation of colours in the eyes.

Sort of purple, brown, yellow, blue, a sorf kind of pink

Dont you play Foxhole? You should know something about pain.

CoH2 is just like foxhole but this time the units actually listen to you

i'd say foxhole is more like MOW

i've played MoW2 and i just.. dont fucking like it

i have played MOW, MOWAS2, and CTA

i hate how you have to make very precise orders or else units will do something stupid

Me neither, it's fun against AI but against players I despise MoW.

halcyon lantern

wha? You don't get your AT gun one-shot by some 75mm artillery gun or mortar?

daring ferry
rigid plaza

just play against AI or someone below like 300 games

#

AT guns are easy to kill

halcyon lantern
#

Horrifically easy, to be exact

#

they just get mauled in one shot

rigid plaza
#

just get speedy brrt vehicle like the puma and go around the side to kill any tank

#

at guns just sneak a guy with a bazooka/ mortar

halcyon lantern
#

oh, also, MoW physics, when your armoured car hits a small stone it will immediately flip upside down.

rigid plaza
#

infact bazookas are so OP just get a bazooka if they have any armor at all

#

bazookas can pen the front of any tank other then super super heavies like king tigers

#

and even then just hit the side and you pen

#

most of the time physics work well, just know what your vehicle can run over

is Studio GIMP free?

well GIMP is free and open source

GIMP itself is free

and there is always krita for drawing or more basic photo editing

I want to make my own textures 😛

maybe, i'll try to remove it and see how it looks

waaaaaaaat

drowsy garnet
#

@halcyon lantern holy crap that looks legit

daring ferry
#

Oh wow that is some good lighting

drowsy garnet
#

Wait did you paste it in?

halcyon lantern
#

So first I have to spend like a minute trying to get the angle of the LT right in GIMP (perspective and shit)
Then I check if the hue of the map and surrounding fits
Then I paste that shit in and remove things that might overlapp (UI and trees)
Then I make icons (the longest part actually.)

drowsy garnet
#

XDD

daring ferry
#

You even got the tank icon, great stuff

halcyon lantern
#

oh yeah I also added a shadow

#

alligned to other shadows on the map obviously

daring ferry
#

That level of efficiency can't exist here!

#

He's too dangerous to be left alive!

halcyon lantern
#

These blue ones are just there cause I forgot unselected units have blue icons and not white. GIMP sucks in this regard. Can't just assign a colour to the one below, have to create an entire folder of colour, saturation, value for it.

daring ferry
#

It might have been changed in a newer version

halcyon lantern
#

Maybe? This is 2.8

#

I should probably just use CSP

daring ferry
#

There is 2.10 and maybe more now

halcyon lantern
#

thing is I use GIMP mainly for the multiple paint brushes

#

CSP has ones for drawing, but not so much for texturing

daring ferry
#

You know what? This is not overkill enough

#

Time for the BT turret

halcyon lantern
#

yighs, wouldn't fit on the hull even

near folio
#

Dude why does that AC top down look so nice

wind night
#

Because it's a really nice detailed model that you don't get to see very well from the angle you're at.

halcyon lantern
bright jay
#

Oh god

daring ferry
#

This looks oddly familiar

wind night
#

Something about that looks vaguely wrong but I'm not sure what it is

near folio
#

Damnit dyno

wind night
#

Like, from the normal angle the little ridges on the back of the AC doesn't really show at all.

near folio
#

It's the meshing of the hull to the turret

wind night
#

Oooh, yeah, you're right

near folio
#

The ring goes slightly around the hull

halcyon lantern
#

Yup, it's sliiightly oversized

wind night
#

And the angle / size the turret looks like it bulges out from the hull

halcyon lantern
#

Lemme see if I can find it

wind night
#

it's just kind of... odd

halcyon lantern
daring ferry
#

Oh great

#

Node repairing time

wind night
#

heh

#

always fun right

#

riiiiight?

halcyon lantern
#

Eh I gotta enable maps on this, it's just flat textures, wait a sec

wind night
#

That might also be what's making it look weird

daring ferry
#

Got it! It feels very KV2-ish

wind night
#

The pieces of the tank look perfectly smooth

near folio
#

That actually doesn't look too bad from the side

#

It's just the turret ring again

halcyon lantern
#

the barrel suddenly becomes black

#

Due to metallics

near folio
#

Yeah, it's mostly the color though honestly.

wind night
#

huh, the camo patterns are different

#

or they're much less defined on the bottom texture

halcyon lantern
#

if I disable the metallics on the turret suddenly it's pretty chill

#

And yeah but that's a lesser issue.

bright jay
#

#

ooh

cerulean anvil

Yeah, but that’s too much punch imo, the AT rifle is pretty powerful on its own

And copying the ATAC is prolly your best and most reasonable bet anyway

carmine jolt
#

LUV with ATAC turret

halcyon lantern
#

you'd first need an LUV with a hard roof

cerulean anvil
#

So two ATRs seem reasonable to me.

ashen drum
#

Yes they are, but that vulnerability tends to be outpaced by mobility and cost

cerulean anvil
#

I wanted to make an Icarus equivalent for the Wardens without saying Spitifre but ATR and not too like the ATAC.

ashen drum
#

Oh it wouldn’t be an icarus equivalent at all

#

Icarus is a anti structure tool, ATR is bad against structures

cerulean anvil
#

I know that. Should've said "equivalent".

halcyon lantern
#

would be pretty rad for hit-and-run against tanks though, getting ATRs into good position is challenging.

cerulean anvil
#

As in it would be available in the same tier for the Wardens.

halcyon lantern
#

...but that would depend on its off-road speed

cerulean anvil
#

Icarus would be versatile while Venombite specialized.

ashen drum
#

If you want it 360 which I’d say would be more powerful, I’d keep it one atr

#

If you want a narrow front facing gun, I’d make a slightly reworked model like the tankettes HMG and give it about 1.5 rof

cerulean anvil
#

No 360° turning. Only forward. I want the double guns as the main signature of this vehicle.

fickle cloak
#

Seems like a nice idea would Devs do it?

#

Probably not

ashen drum
#

I’d probably just go the route as a single upgraded ATR

thin oak
#

wait so what is the range of the ATR?

ashen drum
#

With 1.5 times ROF

#

And a mount kinda like one of the Italian vehicles

#

Actually think it was british

halcyon lantern
#

ooh, pretty

ashen drum
#

I’d give the mounting a little more flair, make it look beefier. But same general idea
