ADuke's OH58D Pack This addon is still very much work in progress, the model is 90% complete, textures are at 25% completion. Here is the first of many update videos... Stay tuned for more progress updates. -AD Edited August 29, 2013 by ADuke823 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoyTF91 1 Posted August 29, 2013 sweet mother of aviation reconnaissance, yes. quick question though, will you be making a navy variant at all? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

b00ce 160 Posted August 29, 2013 Looks pretty accurate. I see those little buggers flying around every day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scarecrow398 43 Posted August 29, 2013 Mother of god... he's alive... And looking mighty fine, will be great to see a OH-58D for the first time since OFP :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoyTF91 1 Posted August 29, 2013 I have never seen a navy variant (pic or real life), if you can show me one then I may make one.-AD Yeah I don't blame you, the US Navy doesn't actually operate them (though they were responsible for initiating the program that became the Kiowa in 1960). It's more or less because our fictional USN/USMC milsim unit would like to operate Kiowas from Navy ships, thus making a Navy Kiowa squadron would be a no-brainer. Of course this is a small side request if you have time, or even if you consider our shenanigans worth it :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TFM_Callas 1 Posted August 29, 2013 My favorite helicopter! Finally! Oh boy I can't wait to take it for a spin around Altis. Do you plan on making an armed version? (That's probably a stupid question.) Perhaps a version with passenger space?

major_shepard 82 Posted August 29, 2013 Nice. Also have you plane any fast rope for your helicopters? Being able to throw up to 4 ropes would be awesome :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aduke823 63 Posted August 29, 2013 Thank you for all of your replies. I appreciate the support. I just started uv mapping the main rotor and mmts. The model is divided into 6 parts.. Hull Main Rotor Tail Rotor Details Skids Tailplane Each of those parts need to be... Modeled UV mapped AO mapped Diffuse mapped Normal mapped Specular mapped So far the hull is... UV mapped AO mapped partially diffuse mapped The details are partially diffuse mapped as well, you can see what I mean in the video. I definitely have my work cut out for me. Anyway, thanks again, back to work....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomclothier 1 Posted August 29, 2013 Looks like a really nice model! Looking forward to the release! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wiki 1558 Posted August 29, 2013 very nice ADuke! I'm also waiting for your MH-60 pack. Will you make a MH-60L with fastrope (like you did on ArmA 2 - even if it was MH-60K instead of MH-60L ^^)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nodunit 397 Posted August 30, 2013 Very nice bird, though when you say split into six parts do you mean a seperate unwrap and selection for each one of those parts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aduke823 63 Posted August 30, 2013 Very nice bird, though when you say split into six parts do you mean a seperate unwrap and selection for each one of those parts? I mean that I modeled each one of those parts separately, then I started unwrapping and texturing them, the hull and details are the only ones that I have done a diffuse map for thus far. It's a lot easier to do uv maps for smaller objects instead of trying to do the whole thing at once. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ah okay, all good then :) and yeah I know what you mean about the whole thing at once, all those fine details, especially in the rotory sector...ergh, almost makes ya not want to look at it or do it after a while.

nodunit 397 Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) Sorry man, I didn't realize who you were, I admire your AH64 work. :) No need to apologize :) I meant to add this in earlier but I was too tired, just wanted to say that I am VERY pleased to see people taking more initiative to reinvent the wheel as it were, rather than relying wholesale on conversion from previous games. I look forward to seeing how your project(s) progress and will be keeping an eye on them ^^ Edited August 30, 2013 by NodUnit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
