Oberon3d 0 Posted December 9, 2002 Hi. At last I exported the model to Flashpoint. The textures are basic tests....Making the shadows right is taking time...So far the only bit with properly finished shadows is the turret and the wheels. Those wheels were tricky to texture I have been testing the colors and as you can see I´ll make a desert and a "plain" green skins among others  Right now it´s just a empty object so I´ll start the cpp as I finish the textures. It´s going to take a while to finish but....I feel like it´s worth all the effort Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peanuckle_00 0 Posted December 9, 2002 What is it? What's it used for? It looks like A riot control vehicle or something used in cities. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamesia 0 Posted December 9, 2002 that looks fantastic, well done. Thats the kind of unit which looks like it would be used for fortifying towns etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dm 9 Posted December 9, 2002 hell no! that [the Ferret] is a fast, armoured scout unit - 1 hit from anything bigger than 30mm and it's history... goes like S**t off a greasy shovel tho GREAT MODEL THO, very detailed, it's gonna be excellent once it's ingame Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ExtracTioN 0 Posted December 9, 2002 Is the scale right it looks a little small Is it lagging the game + this vehicle was used in WWII right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B@ZOOkA 0 Posted December 9, 2002 looks great... even with those beta textures... but i think this model is quite easy to model - that doesnt mean you didnt invest a lot of work in it - but it has many flat faces and edges... so you can make a very good looking ferret with a (quite) low number of polys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackdog~ 0 Posted December 9, 2002 Wow... I was waiting for an update on this one and I must say this is the quality of Maac and Marfy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeneralMortars 0 Posted December 9, 2002 Hell, it looks promising! The graphics quality is really on a high level. When the sound is authentic and it's drivable like it looks, it's surely one of my favourites! Remember back in my childhood i could take a close investigation to the same or similar car, as the british rhine army often exercised near where i live. So i assume this car isn't WW2 vintage. Carry on with that great work!! Regards GM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stag 0 Posted December 10, 2002 Verry Nice! The Ferret is/was a scout car in service with the UK right up to before the Gulf War, I believe. It was usually attatched to headquarters units rather than the proper recon sections. There was a version with a pair of Swingfire missiles attached to the turret, one either side, but given the problem of missiles and wheeled vehicles...

I haven't seen many round scout cars mate... If you want to see how easy it is look at the interior...this is not the last stage of it and it's untextured but...you can make yourself an idea....
