One of the blades aren't lined up Properly

this was made years before i actually knew what i was doing when making assets for this game, and vertex color animations weren't understood very well back then so yea the functionality isn't up to par with modern assets.

It was the first wind turbine asset with a custom model and texture, and working animation.

these look so damn good but i wish they did change direction with wind. still easily one of the best looking custom asset wind turbines you can find. absolutely georgeous. place on the highest mountains you can find where it would make sense they don't need to change direction much

very good thank you :eaglegrin:

sweet!

Looks great! But in my game they also don't change direction with the wind...

Is it me, or don't these wind turbines change when wind direction change. All other turbines do in my game.

- I think you made a comment where you say you cannot make turbine taller (?!) I don't think it is really necessary but I would suggest to make them more "slim". For me they look very fat :) The size of the rotor compare to the hight is correct, you would suggest to make to tower diameter smaller and the nacelle (between the tower and rotor) smaller. Google like Vestas V112 or Siemens 2.3MW or Senvion so you have a better idea what looks like on-shore turbine all over europe (and I guess US too)
Again thank you for your good job and the time you spend on it ;)

Nice Job !! But as a wind turbine technicien may I give you some improvement you should do to make theme more realistic ??! (even if they are already more realistic than the original version's game)
- The rotor rotation on all over the world wind turbines is always running on the same way (clock wise if we stand in front of the turbine), so it correct on your model :)
- The blades on your model are "pitched" 180°, there is a leading and a trailing edge on a blade but you turn them wrong

First thought when I saw this was "Oh it's like the wind turbines near me." I live in Belgium.

@smacchus just look at the angle, turbines can spin in a few ways it just depends on the fact that they are angled correctly so when facing the wind, they spin based on that.

great work! it would be awesome to have turbines like in germany (those macawrakka posted..) but you have to look for the height. The highest models are about 200m ;)
smacchus 28 Mar, 2017 @ 5:40pm 
Nice work bro!
However... looking at the vid, they seem to be spinning the wrong way round.

Great

nice, ty

Thank you for this! I really love wind turbines and I was a bit disappointed with the lighting of the vanilla ones. Thank you so much. It's way more realistic with the blinking on top. <3

Can you possibly do different color versions? Or one withdifferent markings?

Nice. You should make Vestas' V164 8MW (currently the largest turbine in the world)
Elijah1 27 Mar, 2017 @ 12:59am 
ok

@Elijah1 its called midwest America and the map theme is the San minato theme.
quarterwind 26 Mar, 2017 @ 7:22pm 
Good job! Thanks for your great work.
Elijah1 26 Mar, 2017 @ 4:59pm 
what map is it you used?
Marco6158 26 Mar, 2017 @ 12:56pm 
Finally some new windturbines! I hope you'll create others too in the future. Good job.
EvametryE  [author] 26 Mar, 2017 @ 7:47am 
@Lee Towers the LOD is actually 934 tri's, still high but thats with all uneccessary details stripped. ive kept it high because 90% of the time people wont use em that frequent as other assets, so its actual impact is still fairly low in comparison to trees for example. And i wanted the LOD to inherit the most common aspects of the detailed model, as well as its ability to rotate.

and yes, its a bit of laziness too, im not in the mood to create a whole new custom LOD. and fit all the pieces in correctly.

what i will do is reduce the texture size so itll get a much lower filesize. thats the best i can do.

as for the turning direction, you're right, the blades are positioned wrong. i will fix that
Lee Towers 26 Mar, 2017 @ 7:04am 
Good job on the model, but looking at the shape of the blades I'm pretty sure they're turning the wrong way... (please correct me if I'm wrong). Also, LOD same stats as the main model?! that's really heavy...
EvametryE  [author] 26 Mar, 2017 @ 3:36am 
@MCPOLDER thats sadly not possible because of limitations in the editor. If anything is larger than the vanilla turbine the animation Will be bugged :(
Piggy Rover 26 Mar, 2017 @ 3:19am 
good i love wind turbines:steamhappy:
SPOLDER 26 Mar, 2017 @ 3:02am 
can you make some really tall turbines? I think that is more realistic.
EvametryE  [author] 25 Mar, 2017 @ 11:19pm 
@italianmarcus its called midwest america, and im using the san minato theme. ttp:/gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=662531362&searchtext=nebraska
CoosDaKilla 25 Mar, 2017 @ 10:47pm 
What map did you display them on in these pictures?
Mr.Zombie 25 Mar, 2017 @ 8:41pm 
They are red...

That means they can blow up!
_luminou_ 25 Mar, 2017 @ 9:36am 
Beautiful creation, but your wind turbines turn in the wrong direction

Belle création, mais tes éoliennes tournent à l'envers...

Wow looks great
MrMiyagi 23 Mar, 2017 @ 2:14pm 
Yes!!! Subbed! :)

Very nice! :highlvl:
DeCzaah 23 Mar, 2017 @ 1:57pm 
Just perfect! Such a cool wind turbine, thank you! :)

https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/0a/c7/24/0ac7249602804e6e493bcdba59306e11.jpg do you think some wind turbines like the ones shown in the background of this concept art would be cool and possible to do? I think they'd look lovely in the game!
EvametryE  [author] 23 Mar, 2017 @ 12:16pm 
@DV-13 yes, same as standard wind turbine
DV-13 23 Mar, 2017 @ 12:14pm 
What are the stats? Same as stock one?
