Funny, I have been thinking of making an RTS aswell, but haven't we all?

Anyway, I like your way of thinking, but maybe you should nail down a timeline where the RTS takes place, maybe a sci-fi WWII <-> Modern day era like Red Alert? Maybe a pure sci-fi like Tiberian Sun?

You should probably try to work on different factions aswell, and a backstory on why they are in the conflict, that could help on the overal design of buildings, units, tanks and ect.

i already have a story line written out in my head the time line. Its hopefully going to be a mmorts sorta like Mankind or boundless planet im thinking about making different kind of factions but then i want every thing to be an equal balanced i was thinking about going as complicated as Beyond protocol style rts but i don't have the patents to put that kinda programming in.

Also Asteric your models are good but look completely like C&C

Pretty good! I understand that RTS's should have low poly models but i think that the air carrier could use some more detail, mostly on the command part. Some antennas would be sufficient.

"

Never use sub-surface/mesh smooth on realtime models, the end result is quite terrible.

I'm not looking to join any amateur teams, nor do I take requests.

the warehouse is really a sub surfaced box that was extruded and expanded at parts

They could be more detailed, but really most details are from textures.

really most of them are pretty good. the aircraft carrier could use some work and maybe the command center but other then that they are just fine.

lol i just don't really like the shape of the command center it really doesn't make you think about it being a command center, its more like a weird traffic cone...

the aircraft carrier the shape isn't bad. but i don't think it has enough detail and i don't think the texture will help it enough.i was thinking like add things not redo it. (the tower and maybe add a side dock were the aircraft are taken down too. make)

also replace the giant thing on the side with a tower....

Er..honestly the sub-models don't look very good. You can get much more detail with a texture map then more polygons. I'd consider cutting some polygons from some of these models. Some of the larger buildings you can get away with more polys, but as for the units, such as the tank and plane, you could cut the polys in half and I doubt you'd see the deference in-game.

Subsurfing is really only effective on organic models. For the stuff like land factory, the subsurf takes a nice, rigid, industrial building and makes it a blob

Also, the bomber should look more aerodynamic - try longer wings, and taper them more.

I don't think those were as good as your last batch

these are prety good but i have a few ideas/ complaints

the 'Comand center' is more like a house and it usualy makes the builders, try make it longer and maby give it a stelite dish on the roof, or a few of ariels (to make it look comanish) and it also looks subed.

the land factory sub looks weird, too round. try put a roof area on it sorta like this http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w37/aussiemadboy/factory-1.jpg
(for the cars to drive under, looks cooler)

the bomber looks cool, more like a futuristic space ship.

good work so far tho keep it up and you'll get better.
