martinezfg11 334 Posted September 30, 2013 OK, so here it is, this is my first attempt at actually creating a model for Arma3. I started this model as a practice as I transitioned from 3ds Max to Blender. I've decided to complete this for the end goal of having it in Arma. I've finished the rough high poly model for this, next is polishing the model then working on the low poly, unwrap, and bake. So attached are some pictures, I would like to know what the community thinks and if you guys would be interested of having this ingame. Any critiques are welcome, I will try to provide updates on a regular basis. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flintlocke 10 Posted September 30, 2013 Holy crap dude, that looks awesome. Really need a UAV that can hold on station for overwatch and target designation better than the quadrocopter that likes to run out of fuel or fall out of the sky randomly, or the greyhawk that either contstantly tries to turn into it's own wing or zooms past in straight passes too fast to see anything.

reap66667 1 Posted September 30, 2013 Looks amazing nice work . Like flintlocke said a UAV that can stay on station longer for overwatch and a steadier platform for lazing would be perfect and maybe later after the Observation type is released, one with a rocket pod or a HMG would allow for a more interesting CAS. Its a great idea, I look forward to seeing the progression of it and I guarantee the community is to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reaper_Jackal 10 Posted September 30, 2013 Looks incredible, especially for a first attempt at Arma modding. +1 for armed version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redphoenix 1540 Posted September 30, 2013 Just asking: How big is this going to be? Because if it's some kind of big, the rotor blades are a bit to small. But otherwise, nice model. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miroslaw Kowalski 54 Posted September 30, 2013 This looks really cool :D An armed version with guided rockets would be really cool :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flintlocke 10 Posted September 30, 2013 It's a bit hard to see the width of those rotor blades from this angle but if it's purely an observation platform as the real Skeldar V-200 is then they should be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martinezfg11 334 Posted September 30, 2013 I'll consider an armed version, not sure if the skeldar would support armaments in real life though since its only about 4 and a half feet tall with an 88 pound payload. i may consider making a MQ8 firescout with armaments depending on my success with this mod Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
granQ 293 Posted October 1, 2013 hey sent you a PM. Anyway, many pictures on the internet are of the "v150" and early models/prototypes, the v200 is slightly bigger and got some added "details" here is pictures of real ones.. http://www.militaryfactory.com/aircraft/imgs/saab-skeldar-uav.jpg Notice the side lights and the little antenna in the front (not sure if thats standard or not, but seems to be on the pictures on the one that the spanish navy uses) http://csp.picsearch.com/img/l/Z/u/d/image_lZudxmAHyuJa6flDnPrzcQ/2.jpg On this one notice the "exhaust" pipe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martinezfg11 334 Posted October 3, 2013 Yea the yellow antenna in that pic looks like a pitot-static tube. I'll add that and the exhaust you show in the second pic. Thanks for the references! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
