Taros 10 Posted June 16, 2011 (edited) Hello everyone :) I have been working hard on a Vertibird VTOL gunship from the game Fallout 3 for the past few weeks that i thought would be a fun addon for Arma 2. So far i have more or less completed the exterior full resolution model with UVW mapping done and have almost finished the interior. Thus far i have been using the 3ds max Arma toolset to make the model and have not tried exporting it yet. While i am sure the model will work properly when finally finished i have no idea where to begin for flight as i have not been able to find much information on how to nab the existing mv-22 scripts to figure out how to set this thing up. open spoiler for images of it so far. (warning for large images) Full res exterior: http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/318/vertibird3ds.jpg WIP interior: (lights are for added atmosphere) http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/1756/vertibirdinterior02.jpg I'll try to update this thread pending new progress :) //Taros.

max power 21 Posted June 16, 2011 (edited) You've got some hard / soft edge issues. Lets see it in better lighting and from other angles! Can we see a wireframe too? Edited June 16, 2011 by Max Power Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Taros 10 Posted June 16, 2011 nice, keep it up. BIS game needs some SCI-FI love Thanks :) If this thing pans out i plan on making lots of Sci-fi stuff for Arma 2. Is this a port? Nope. You've got some hard / soft edge issues.Lets see it in better lighting and from other angles! Can we see a wireframe too? Its actually the 3-point lighting system in the Arma toolset messing with it, for some reson it seems to light parts of the model in reverse with its shader, i believe it has something to do with Arma's coordinate system in how the Y axis is supposed to be up or something of the sort and the lights are treating the geometry in a strange way, though i doubt that will be an issue once i export it. What would be the point of showing it in wireframe? //Taros. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because the model is very nice and I want to know more about the topology! Maybe I can learn something from it. I'd like to see how you used your polygons.

Ahh righto, i see what you mean. :) I usually don't make wireframe images as a habit but i guess i'll make an exception. I'll post some tomorrow. //Taros.

Ripsipiirakka 10 Posted June 17, 2011 I loved vertibirds in Fallout 3 and i hope you finish this addon because its looking great! Not sure how osprey's code goes but couldn't you sorta just copy most part of the code from it but just change the place of the motors/rotor blades? Then again you need to change places with pilot seats and passenger seats so i guess it isn't so simple when you think about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfbite 8 Posted June 17, 2011 Look for the Osprey .cfg file and copy and adjust that... You'll figure out what to change and what to keep... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
