Renegade X: Nod Update

Renegade X: Nod Update!

The Brotherhood of Nod is a mystery. The origins of the organization and its charismatic leader is unknown. Its power is unprecedented. Its truth is unlimited. Nod as an organization appeared first in the mid 1990s, as the primary opposition to the Global Defense Initiative. The Brotherhood has a global presence, with a heavy concentration of its forces and influence covering the third world. They are pioneers in the refinement of Tiberium, and are always one step ahead in developing new technologies intended to take advantage of Tiberium growth worldwide.

Kane, the leader of the Brotherhood, is a mysterious figure. His origins, whereabouts, and any details about him whatsoever, remain unknown. Nod sees Kane as a savior proclaiming a new message of unity and freedom from the corrupt tyrants of the world. He propagates Tiberium as a gift to the earth, and its mutating effects on humans to be the next step in our evolution.

Nod does not come in peace. It comes ahead of peace - Kane.

Renegade X has new Nod assets ready for fighting GDI!

Sakura!

A Japanese woman covered in tattoos with a quiet, brooding, intense personality, Sakura Obata was raised in the male-dominated environment of the Japanese mob, the Yakuza. Disenchanted, she decided to use her considerable talents as a mercenary, and was hired by GDI to work with the Project: Shadow Strike unit, later known as the Dead 6 alongside then-captain Nick Parker. During one assignment, she was separated from her team and ambushed by Nod troopers. Since she was never heard from again, she was assumed dead.

However, it turned out she joined Nod. She was hired by general Gideon Raveshaw as his personal mercenary. As a commando armed with a Ramjet Rifle, Sakura is one of the most valuable units in the game!

Nod Armoured Personnel Carrier

We had decided to take a new design for Nod's APC. Influence has been taken from the Stryker vehicle. Armed with an M134 gatling machine gun, and with enough room for five passengers, the APC plays a very necessary role in the game.

Image

Nod Officer

The Nod Officer is the point man for Nod basic infantry on the field. He is both inexpensive and useful, as he uses a heavy chaingun to eliminate his enemies from close and far ranges alike. Watch out!

Image

Nod Flame Tank

A personal favourite for many. Flame Tanks are a signature Nod vehicle, armed with dual flame cannons to ensure maximum damage, and heavy armour to guarantee that it will make it to its target. Although close ranged, Flame Tanks are a fiery threat to enemy vehicles, infantry, and structures. Don't let these in your base, GDI!

Image

Firefly Laser Rifle

Nod's 'Firefly' Laser Rifle takes Brotherhood laser technology to ground level. Its instant beams not only maintain a good range, but are capable of tearing vehicles apart and incinerating enemy infantry. It is the primary weapon of the Stealth Blank Hand, creating a deadly mixture of stealthy tactics and powerful weaponry.

The texture is still an early Work in Progress!

Image

SDT-B Vulture Shotgun

A weapon used by both Nod and GDI shotgun infantry, the 'Vulture' Shotgun is a close ranged weapon used best against infantry and light vehicles. With eight rounds per shot, the shotgun could put a hole in just about any infantry at the proper range.

Image

AG79 Kestrel Automatic Grenade Launcher

GDI's only asset in this update. The 'Kestrel' Grenade Launcher fires 40mm grenade rounds in an arc. Although difficult to become accustomed to, if used correctly, the Grenade Launcher could pose a threat to infantry, vehicles, and structures, especially in packs. Primary fire shoots a grenade that explodes on impact, while secondary fire shoots a grenade that will bounce and last a few seconds.

Image

That's all for now!

Love the APC! Can't wait to see so much detail ingame. It actually says armored personnel carrier on it, haha! Awesome!

Can't wait to see flame tank shooting flames. I bet flame effect is going to be 'a bit' cooler than in old Renegade :P

Just a question, will it be optional wether you choose the urban camouflage or the red one? since in Renegade all camouflage was red, I know that it was urban before that but it just seems a lil bit.. weird?

Flame tank: nice, and not just because it's a great tank.
Nod officer: Nicely finished, although he doesn't seem to radiate an immediate 'I am the officer' look like the GDI officer seemed to have.
Sakura: Detailed reconstruction at it's best. She really looks like the real deal, but instead of the anorexia she had in the original game she seems to have some real fat and muscles appropriate for her occupation.
Firefly: Well, it looks a lot better then those gray WIP thingy's or whatever you call them. I think that if the crystal was a little smaller then it looks now, it would be perfect. Too bad it's so far in production already.
Shotgun: Splendid, it actually looks like you don't want to be at the business end of this one. The original renegade one seemed more a plastic nightstick which incidently could shoot to me.
Kestral: You guys really know what a weapon should look like! I't a magnificent design and I'm actually considering trying this one out as a substitute for the normal soldier.
APC: I saved this one for last. It's magnificent, not a work of art but a work of craft. It looks armoured, fast, capable of carrying various loads and it's build for the battlefield with a nasty machine gun on top. Wonderfull!

Yours sincerely,
Demigan.

And Kane said: I give you the shotgun. May it smite down our enemies from close range, and may their reaction be upon the lines of, 'oh sh-'

Resizing isn't an issue :) . We're going to use a shader on it, as opposed to a material, so that's no problem :) . Wont be as visible in-game though, and its the main function of the weapon as it were. I wanted to show off what the weapon was all about :) .

I've uploaded some more traditional renders to my deviantart, shows a different angle :) .

Oooo controversial APC change!

Glad you did it though, overall I am highly impressed. The original was a major missfit lined up against both GDI & NOD imo.

Truely awesome update.

I love the new Sakura model, she looks epic!

The finished APC just looks amazing, can't wait to drive one.

The Nod Officer and Flame Tank just look too awesome for words and as for the Laser Rifle, Shotgun and Grenade Launcher, well words can not describe.

Another awesome update guys, keep up the great work!

It's good. The APC and Sakura seem especially amazing, but the Flame tank strikes me as underdetailed, especially next to every other vehicle you've done.

That is awesome! Everything looks amazing! Keep up the incredibly good work!

I have to agree with Tsumetai though the flame tank does look under detailed.

About the flame tank, I think adding some more black like the APC would make a whole difference, positive.
