SupremeCommander printed models

Probably best to discuss that in PMs since we don't want people to think profit is being made off of the IP.

That is some absolutely amazing models though. Lots of detail everywhere from the stuts of the legs to the canon of the monkeylord. I'm noticing a lot of cool and interesting things that I didn't notice about the units even though I've played with them a fair bit in game, like the difference in pattern on the top of the ythotha's arms, or the little handle-bar like things on the side of the monkeylord's turret.

Could we get a photo of all of them together?

@FunkOff creality cr10s and ender 3 , cost is low to priont but needs time and effort for post processing and painting.Its kind of hobby, but i already sell them
aeon and seraphim are cool but extremely complicated to paint.

ar

well, i am sorry but they are all gone so far

think of ahwassa next print, but hard to paint

The best part is that these are all 3D printed in universe.

Look amazing. well done. If i had money, I would buy them off you

Hello all,

I am very new to FAF, and also somewhat new to printing, but I enjoy both. I have not tried to paint anything yet, but suspect I will soon.

I found a few models available online, but I prefer to make my own. As you may be able to tell, I am quite amateur in the 3D modeling hobby, but I thought the people here may enjoy a time lapse of creating this model. (I have never tried video hosting before, so hopefully this works correctly). I have since begun adding some detail that is only only rendered in skins, I am planning to continue work on the model for photo-realism. Hopefully at the end of the current semester I will have time to make more videos of that detailing and will post progress photos here if people enjoy. Let me know what you think!

This aeon acu looks great. Can you also add color?

Hey, thanks for checking it out. I will definitely try painting at some point. As for adding color on the 3D model and rendering, I don't think I will do much, but I could if people are interested in seeing it.
I think that once I am able to finish detailing the ACU model I will probably try to model a photorealistic GC.

Quite enjoyable to see that progress! Are you aware that you can export and edit models from the game? They're not as HQ as your current version, but it may help with the baseline.

@Jip I was not aware, thanks for mentioning that. Like I said, I am very new to FAF, but I will see if I can figure it out.

Done with the details on the armor and external plating. The body details are generally less specific and don't seem to be consistent, so I may just apply effects to see if I can find something that most accurately imitates the look. Debating if I want to try and print this beast, or mess around with the rest of the details before printing.

In other news, I messed around a bit trying to export the models from the game, but have not figured it out yet. If anyone has words of wisdom on getting those, I would appreciate it.

@ELCroisidh There is some general information here:

• https://forums.faforever.com/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=17065

All the assets are stored in the gamedata folder, that resides in the installation folder. Inside are .scd files that stands for Supreme Commander Data. These are just renamed zip files: change the extension to .zip and unpack them. The relevant SCD file would be units.scd.

I'm not that knowledgeable about the Blender plugin - it may be this:

• https://github.com/Oygron/SupCom_Import_Export_Blender

But I think there is a more recent version - @MadMax can you shed some light on this?

That Blender plugin does work, but only for Blender 2.7. I'm unaware of an updated version

no thier is a Blender 2.8 version of the pugin

@Jip Interesting, clearly I still have much to learn. Regardless, thank you and all for the info. Someday I may figure it out.

For now I am going to continue to detail this Aeon Com before attempting another print. I did just get some new filament and paint in today, but I have a few other current projects to get through.
Thanks again!

Update:

Finally located the game data files, plugin worked like a charm, thank you @Rowey.

All in all I'd say I was pretty close.... Interesting some details in the upper arms that I never picked up on.

@ELCroisidh great job dude! you made it from the skratch! if you need me to extract game files, do not hesitate to ask!

that summit!!!!!

wow! just wow!

I love it so much!
