    Yes. Aluminum does rust actually, but it's oxide (aluminum oxide) is almost as hard and durable as carbon tetrahedral crystal (diamond). Thus this rapidly forming layer of Aluminum oxide only a few microns thick is enough to stop further oxidization.

    Aluminum is actually more reactive than iron. Mercury can be used to act as a catalyst which prevent the formation of aluminum oxide thus allowing the aluminum to rust. Infact it rusts much, much faster than iron does, thus why mercury is illegal on airplanes. (it would destroy them) I have heard a story how US Paratroopers had a plan to put mercury paste on Nazi planes to cause them to rust and fall apart in flight. Regardless of whether or not this rumor is true it would have worked. Also I suggest reading up on thermite for more examples of how reactive aluminum really is and also read how much energy is required in it's production. (has to be made via electrolysis near powerplants)

    My stockclass paintball gun, the Phantom, is custom anodized. It has an artifically forced extra thick and colored layer of aluminum oxide on it which makes it remarkably more durable than any paint. (not to mention the deep red and black just looks totally awesome)

    PS: In the future be careful talking about Chemistry in front of me unless you enjoy getting ripped. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Anyway, ignoring the chemistry talk about oxides and whatnot, i've decided to restart on this here skin. I think i've found an answer to my problem about texture resolution, and im not going to add (as much) damage to the box.

    *edit* AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I'm a hair away from giving up. No matter what I try, the texture is lower than hell when it comes to quality. The texture reminds me of communism, looks great on paper but sucks when it's actually applied.

    Try this, it's a higher resolution mesh <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Thanks!

    It looks much better.

    But at the same time it quadrifies the model's size <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
    It's up to Gravi to decide whether to take the high- or low-res version.

    Um are we sure about the numbers? Better ask UZi but I think the HMG for instance has a 12mm diameter barrel bore size. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    ~edit~

    Do these boxes have to be grainy green. I mean aluminum oxide is shiny liek and can be oxidized with many pigments:

    <img src='http://whitewolfairsmithing.com/images/Phantom/phantom-custom-colors.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />

    So remember many of these frontiersmen may have custom anodized stuff and also that and extra thick coat almunium oxide (via anodizing) mean you'll have a more durable surface. And also for you skinners that aluminum structures will have a glossiness to them.

    I started over again, the botchy green wasnt liked. I can't do anything good, so im just doing brushed metal with the same stuff on top of it.

    The blotchy green made me look like the smiley heading this post...

    Okay, so I accidentally deleted what I was working on, i've decided not to continue work on this, I might try again once i've learned a few more tricks.

    Someone else can do it.

    or maybe boxes are made of carbo. then what? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I removed the box from the map for the first version.
    I will do the skin myself if everybody acts like its this hard to get a decent skin. I will learn it by myself. jesus, "if you want something done, do it yourself!" becomes true, AGAIN! thx anyway.

    Gravi will wub you!
  • Lt_GravityLt_Gravity Join Date: 2003-04-28 Member: 15909Members
    perfect. all I need now is

    A: skin for vehicle (important!)
    B: mesh and skin for dropship (can take its time)

    to say something to the dropship: it will be used within the rr. maybe I will add a little surprise ^^
  • ObstObst Join Date: 2003-03-12 Member: 14436Members, Constellation
    Before Gravi commits suicide, here a WIP pic of the dropship mesh:

    I'll see if I can work out the dropship, (That is whats meshed isnt it? That obst just posted) Anyways, I do have a bad work habbit, so I wouldnt count on me.. Honestly.
  • ObstObst Join Date: 2003-03-12 Member: 14436Members, Constellation
    Yes, the most recent one is the dropship. Some pages before you might also find the mining vehicle.
    tbh having the mining vehicle skinned would be MUCH better than the dropship, as the dropship is a *beep* and the mining vehicle is *beep* (Sorry, don't know if I can spill out Grav's "secrets" [No, not the underwear. Pervs.])

    Anyway, ANY help is appreciate, so take whatever you wish <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
  • CatCopCatCop Join Date: 2003-08-28 Member: 20296Members, Constellation
    Whats the color scheme for the dropship? Want it like TSA green or what, and theres got to be more colors then just green, give me an idea... Or is there somewhere I can find this?
