This was originally supposed to be part of my upcoming release, but I have since decided to not include any vehicle skins so I'm just releasing it on it's own. Ironically this is the second tiger reskin this week. What timing :)

Is it just me, or is FileFront acting completely goofy lately?

Great job on the Zimmerit itself, but I don't really like the phong or the normals of the other bits. (or so it seems in the ingames)

It might at maximum lower it by maybe 1 fps because of the normal map but thats about it. Normal maps don't add any polygons to a model, they just affect the lighting of the individual pixels of the texture depending on what angle you look at it. This lightening/darkening of the pixels is what gives the illusion of the bumps and ridges in the surface.

Very nice, definitely fitting for a late varient and certainly an improvement on the default. Good work, yet again Wile, looking forward to more of your work. ;)

This lightening/darkening of the pixels is what gives the illusion of the bumps and ridges in the surface.To add to what Jed said, the model shows up on even the most prop-aggressive custom maps no more than three times. This means that it's rendered hardly at all. I experimented with making sandbag and tree normal maps and because those show up doxens upon dozens of times the result was very predictable - loss of FPS.

This normalmap however should not noticably affect FPS since the model is not used more than once or twice in most maps.

Theres also the trick of switching the normal map off after a certain distance but that requires recompiling the model.

Great work

I love overlooking the tank on donner when Im sniping, I think Im looking at it too much rather than shooting people!

Btw what HUD are you using? Its alot smaller than the one Im using... A link would be brilliant!

Keep up the good work!

EDIT: Don't even worry about using custom huds right now, the latest update has borked them.
