[Modeling request]Building animations

Has anybody ever noticed that all buildings could need a shiny building animation that looks like transformers or something?


Since buildings in empires are made out of intelligent materials that kind of use some crazy nano-technique to build up

when a guy with a tricorder-like handheld presses the same buttons over and over,

There should be any kind of animation on that building!


Just imagine how awesome it would be,

if the commander wouldn't drop a huge complete building,

but some sort of huge box instead, which then turns into a building.


I do want!

discuss.
same as other thread ~brutos

 

get empty to have the building spasm with nano particles.

 

it would be cool to have a construction animation like starcraft 1. lol you know what? fuck that.. how about we put a warp portal and theres a glowing ball of light.. then the building will teleport to that location.. additional pylons needed

 

portal tanks and headcrab launcher tanks.

 

Animated textures.

 

when the commander wnats to drop a building,

there should be a huge building sized sunray/spot shining down from the sky.

Then the building shall materialize from a particle effect that has the contour of the building.

As long as its unbuild, it has to look unbuilt. Maybe have its textures darkened.

When people start building it up, it changes color from the bottom to the top.

So, when a NF rax is halfway build up, its lower half is in normal color and its upper half is darkened.


there's a fucking scrap merchant driving slowly down my road, shouting "SCRAP IRON! SCRAP IRON! THE SCRAP MERCHANT IS HERE!!! OLD OVENS! BRASS and ZINC! SCRAP IRON!"

Can someone plz shoot him?

 

Stop with the stupid formatting or I'll ban you.

 

that's why we can never have nice things

 

you know people there comp are gonna fucking freak the shit out if a comm drops a rax vf and all sorts of shit to build a new base with 10 engis working on it... the fucking bright lights going of from the particles would be a half nuke dude xd

 

Honestly speaking, this would be a dicktonne of work, for very little gain. It would require a fair amount of extra modelling, as well as the animation, which we don't have right now.
