ag_smith 0 Posted April 12, 2006 Those models look awesome, good job! May I inquire about polycount and the LOD setup? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fab. 0 Posted April 12, 2006 the lods usualy go, for a 50m square, 2000 faces, 1000, 600, 250, 120 and around 10 ish for the last lod... also the lods decrease very rapidly, basically the only ofp cell using the first lod is the one you're standing on... depending if u use regular settings or max settings for "lod details" in flashpointpreferences.exe, the first lod will be either the 2000 faces one or the 1000 faces one... then the cells around the one you're standing on are at 600 faces and all the rest is 250, 120 and 10ish for whatever is far away... thats for the fields in general, i cant say much about the forest as this is still work in progress... but actually what makes the lag when u have models using only alpha textures like vegetation isnt so much the facecount, its actually the total surface of all faces combined... for example a 10 per 10m face lags more than a 5 per 5m surface made out of 4 faces...

belgerot 33 Posted April 12, 2006 Very nice job on judging from those last several screens. This will add one truly realistic atmosphere, especially through vegetation. Keep up the great work lads! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds good. That's pretty much how I made the grass for OFPL Lechistan (and Drago) and it works very well. Can't wait to see all this stuff ingame! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Battling 0 Posted April 18, 2006 ok here is something i wanted to do from the beginning i mod ofp,i had many tries on that but got a first good result now you want to know what im talking about, i talk about new sandbags they come in seperate and different models so you can build different positions of it not just one or two predefinied ok to many words let the picture say the rest hehe http://ww2ec.3dactionplanet.gamespy.com/msgboar....2;image Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raptor 6 actual 13 Posted April 19, 2006 @Battling- The pic looks spectacular!! Do you have to place them one by one, or in a group of four or something like that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fab. 0 Posted April 19, 2006 you have to place them sandbag by sandbag...:p j/k as BB said, they come in several pieces so if u want to build your own position, you can do that, or if you prefer you can use the predefined models if u want to use the ones BB already built, what he means is you have the choice between full models or pieces if the full models dont meet your needs cheers Fab.

aus_twisted 0 Posted April 21, 2006 I hope you plan on converting this Mod over to ArmA after it's out for awhile as these trees, bushes and forests etc would look even better again with the new lighting and shadows. All the pics look great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SengirVampireWW2EC 0 Posted May 10, 2006 Hello again, I have taken several new pictures showing our progress on the MOD Please click on my signature banner to get to the WWIIEC website to see the pictures, as this forum doesn´t allow me to post many pics at once. The comments are welcomed here anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
belgerot 33 Posted May 10, 2006 Wow.. I am at a loss for words. Fantastic job, this is one very welcome update, truly shows just how busy you guys have been with everything. Everything, from the animations to vehicles and new additions to soldiers looks very nice and detailed. Keep up the good work guys! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AKM 0 Posted May 10, 2006 I'd like to see a little more kit on the Commonwealth troops, they look a little under-kitted there, but it's looking good. Very, very good. Only other complaint I can possibly think of is regarding faces on the troops. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fab. 0 Posted May 11, 2006 @AKM yeah i havent finished the british basic equipment yet... been so busy with everything, i gotta put my mind back into it... good thing you mention the faces, battling bitch is doing some very good ones to replace the ugly ones in there [edit] i remember having some troubles linking the pics directly from our site, so i thought i'd save sengir some time and upload them to my host and post them here... here's what sengir posted : Quote[/b] ]Hello,I have shooted several new pictures showing our progress on the MOD known as Caen44. The anim work still continues, I am finishing the running and pistol anims and overall progress on the anims is like 70%. I can almost see the light in the end of this long tunnel called OFPanim program ! I don´t like repeating myself, but all the anims you see are, again, the actual ingame anims made by me (Sengir). I have several running animations done, the soldiers will use them randomly. The cargo anims are mostly dynamic and kubel+blitzes cargos have also its own dying sequences. FAB´s amazing vegetation and soldiers speak for themselves. There is also LOTS of work put into the coding and scripting by FAB, screenshots can´t tell that, but he is the real heart of this madness. You can also see Battling Bitch´s great work on the helmets and a heavy armor by T_Roc, who is nearly done with a really huge tank pack covering everything from PzII or Bren Carrier to King Tigers! We would like to thank the Liberation41 team for allowing us use their Kubelwagen and Opel Blitz models. Enjoy the pics, don´t blame us it isn´t out yet and visit our forums. Bye, Sengir and the pics he took (nice screens dude, plz update your BIS forum avater :-) ) : PS : if u got any troubles with the pics here go visit our site and check out the ones ones on the main page...

Fab. 0 Posted May 11, 2006 here's the rest of the pics (cant post too many pics per post) .. 20 mins later well sorry cant post the rest of the pics... why is this board giving me so much troubles.... this is insanity... Quote[/b] ]THE FOLLOWING ERROR(S) WERE FOUNDYou are not allowed to use that image extension on this board. A valid format is: http://www.domain.com/picture.gif, an invalid format is: ]http://www.domain.com/picture.one.gif very cool dude... except the urls i'm desperatly trying to post dont have an invalid format... but somehow this board seems to have a different opinion on this matter. not to mention the long URLs that get changed into text with (...) to make them shorter... resulting in some ugly text instead of a thumbnail, but somehow that same url will work after adding some moanings about it like i'm doing right now... and then guess what ? i remove the moaning because it seems to finally work, and when i press submit, the thumbnails are messed up again... insanity. i'm going to bed... in the meantime check the site for sengir's pics... i'll come back tomorow and try again.

sanctuary 19 Posted May 11, 2006 Impressive screenshots, the animation positions seem to be very natural. Good job with OFPAnim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AKM 0 Posted May 11, 2006 Whoa, big compliment from The Animation King himself there. @Fab - RE, Commonwealth Battlegear: That's excellent, good to hear. I'm kinda hoping to see that little 'assault pack' that clips onto the webbing harness there. As a matter of fact, I have the webbing harness (still khaki) with I believe two general-purpose pouches and a canteen with its straps, if you want more reference images (recently got a digital, whooyeah! ) but it looks like you've got everything, blanco'd and all. It would be a good idea to give a BREN gunner four general-purpose pouches (Three were typically loaded with two mags each, and the fourth had the cleaning / maintainence kit, if I recall correctly, usually) and give him an A-Gunner as well... yeah. Not the point, and now I'm rambling. - RE: Faces: That's freaking excellent. I'd recommend trying to greasestick some of them for camouflage with the black and I believe I've seen green greasestick on some Canadian and British troops in some photographs - dunno if other forces had that or not. Other than that, good to hear, and I am definately looking forward to this release, more than anything else I can think of, actually. Keep up the good work.

Deagle 0 Posted May 11, 2006 Hmm.. I can't find words to describe those anims and units and that vegetation... Veryveryvery good job, again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martinovic 0 Posted May 11, 2006 How does the AI handle the grass? Do they start chucking grenades at each other without ever shooting? Is the grass everywhere on the map or are there areas with more dirt? Can i pass through the hedgerows like normal OFP bushes or must i make my way through them? Sorry if i ask already answered questions. Anyway those screens look so awsome they deserve an Amadeus.

archsceptic 21 Posted May 12, 2006 Fab, in the configs of any armour released with the mod - will you please consider making the top speed of any given tank much lower than it's real life top speed, because this way while not being true to life in one aspect it does in my opinion reflect much better the way tanks cautiously crept around the battlefield, also taking into account the way the ai behaves 'hyper-actively' in armour I think this way it works better. Also I've noticed the Cromwell's been re-textured but it still has the flourescent squadron/troop markings, are these final? I dont want to sound presumptious but if it's a matter of time I can email you some I've made for myself that look a bit more genuine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPQR 0 Posted May 12, 2006 Awesome and also freightening It's hard to believe those screenshots came from the old OFP game, rather than ArmA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
