nice work sitters

[Voller]

You have some serious skill sitters! Thumbs up!

[Mattn]

sitters, you are a genius :-D

thanks for this amazing work

[Surrealistik]

I concur with the above. You definitely have talent.

Ok Here the helicopter.

Excellent model, sitters! That'll come in useful.

Thanks everybody.

 
I am working on an other airplane, maybe a nice one for the collection.




How is it with the stuff like generators, lights, airplane baraks and more of that stuff for the army in the field.

I think, big stuff like camouflage barak's is better to split this up in more models, otherwise the skin is going to low res.

the baraks are better made in the mapeditor - to let the clipping work (bouncing, line of sight and so on) -  but small things like generators or transparent camouflage ceilings are definitly needed

with the new arircraft model - keep in mind, that the rotors are too high for the first level - they must be an own model - otherwise we are not able to switch some of them on or off when we are cycling through the 8 different height-levels

You mean the complete engine with the rotors must be an seperate model, so you can scale it and manipulate this in the game ?
Or only the rotors, as an seperate model so you can make animation frames ?

we have to be able to hide the higher levels - the rotors are on level 2 or 3 - so we have to hide them if you are in level 1 - we can only hide complete models - so they have to be seperated.

i would suggest to make the wings with the rotors a seperate model - because a soldier can walk beneath the wings - if we can't hide them in level 1, we maybe won't see the soldiers.

and yes - animated rotors would be cool, too

Here the airplane textured and split up in two models.
De body is an model and the wing with the engines is an model.

The engines look strangely-textured there, and the windows are a bit rough and slapped-on. They don't look like glass at all. Do you think there's anything more you can do on those?

Also, some textured troop doors on the sides would be great.

[Mattn]

are the "back-wings" seperated from the body, too?

[sitters]

OK, first look what you like, I have change my UV map so i must still convert the stuff to MD2 again.

I have two textures one not ca-mo and one with ca-mo, what do you like ?
This is the best what I can do in this resolution.

Without ca-mo :



and with ca mo :



Or maybe you like both, then I insert two textures.

[Alex]

I like them both, they're more like naval aircraft now...

Just a thought - camo would probably be quite redundant in the setting of this game anyway, wouldn't it?

Unless these aircraft are for conventional military - I could see the aliens attacking a military base or two.

[Mattn]

just add three skins - add them all - but the default skin would be the gray with ca-mo imo

nevertheless you should really add them all - it would be a waste of talent and time to not use the others at all. and i would also be a little variation from map to map (because we can use different skins)

looks very nice - as always :-D
