Brother Argos Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Just to show you some progress and to celebrate completing the first cut of the new engine for the marine painter ... here is a progress shot showing the old painter next to the new one .. As you can see the colours are more vibrant (and true to the actual colour chosen), the edges are smoother (less jagged lines, very visible on the left shoulderpad), no more halving and quartering all central areas are now split left and right and therefore more flexible. We also have got the Armour Mk correct this time instead of a mix of Mk8 & Mk7, its now all Mk7 armour. I am having to rewrite the wargear application from the ground up to accommodate the new painter engine and we also have about 60 new pieces of wargear coming too. The advantage this time is that when I rebuilt the Space Marine Painter engine I built wargear into it from the get go. Here is a small example I put together with the chest emblem and helmet changed. Lots of new toys coming ... Lots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insomniacpyro Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 This is a very awesome upgrade Brother Argos, I really love what you and everyone else is doing! I'm assuming this new painter is much more fluid in adding and removing wargear as well? Also just on a more technical side, I understand you'd have to basically re-write the entire program, but wouldn't it be better in the long run to make the painter more like a flash or java program (or some other language I don't know) and put more of the processing client-side instead of server-side? Then again it'd be easier then heck to steal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Argos Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 @ Dezartfox : Hey Tim :D ... Terminator is being redone too .. all should be revealed for the Painters in a couple of weeks ... the new Wargear a couple of months after the painter release. Drop me a line on googletalk and I will show you some more of the progress. @ insomniacpyro : It will be easier to use and paint ... the wargear interface is being written last, so I am not sure on that yet! ... Stealing and reproducing is the issue. I have the Flash skills to reproduce it in flash if I wanted, but I prefer php :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother_Bethor Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Great work, Brother Argos. The new Painter looks fantastic. Is there any chance to see in the future an Eldar Painter (as they are my second army, still without the painting scheme)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazyfrog Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Once again: when will we be able to use this tool? the currant one is too basic compared to this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Argos Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 I already replied to your question above ... Two weeks for the basic painter to be re-released ... another couple of months maybe for the wargear add on. If you want wargear now use this version .. v5 http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/smpbeta.php and press wargear when you have finished painting the marine. There are also many other painters ... you can find them here .. http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.php?autocom=pages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Argos Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 I finished all the mk4 wargear ... big blank shoulderpads were the last bit .. and then I found this on my computer .. thought a few people might be interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ac4155 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Great work, they look fantastic. Much better over the last versions. And i'm loving the scout and wargear so far, cant wait to give it a go and redone my army colours. Thanks for all the work you do with the painter and with B&C. Its very much appreciated.
