New Units - Kedde - 27.04.2008
Hi.
I want to add new units to Yuri's Revenge, and I mean custom units, made out from bmps.
I am pretty sure this can be done, this is also a customized unit:

but those are made in vxl from the beginning right? I am thinking about taking units from Starcraft, and I have those in bmps (bitmaps).
In C&C Reloaded the marine and Goliath from Starcraft is "implanted", so I guess that's my prove that it can be done
But the question is: how is it done? Creating a vxl from many bmps, or is it another way round?
Thanks in advance

Units can be made in several ways. Voxels are pseudo 3d objects, and usually are painted by hand in a voxel editor or created in a 3D graphics program and exported to voxel format. XCC Mixer does support creating a voxel from a bunch of images, but that's a crude and inexact way. See XCC_Mixer_file_conversion#Copy_As for more details.
