Comanche

Ok, another try

Apply sharp edges (U) to each edge that's got the aligning faces in a bigger angle than 80 (approximately).

Maybe the functionality of sharp/smooth edges becomes a bit clearer with this picture:

well ok, and that should solve the problems with the kightning? or only the optic of the chopper?

Nah, did recognize later that there was an according thread where my pic could be useful (and later mapfact)

@rat - lightning = optics of the model

[Desert-Rat 0]

ok that is my new result

[HuNtA 0]

IMO its okay..... but the camo on the missile mounts is a bit..

beside that nice looking heli...

[hardrock 1]

Ah, I see you understood. Now there are still some lightning errors, f.i. the section that you see below the cockpit.

Try the rest yourself

that is only if i use the smooth efect to have it round

[Desert-Rat 0]

maybe now it is right

[hardrock 1]

Well you still need to make some of the edges in the front smooth so that it looks round, only select one edge at a time and look at the results in buldozer.

@HuNtA: Yes i know , that are only the first textures , i will make them a bit realistic asgood i can but the weaponmounts are camouflaged ;)

EDIT:

is it better now hardrock?

[hardrock 1]

Yep, think so. If you compare it with one of your earlier screens -

- looks better now doesn't it

So remember: Always care of the lightning. The model can be bad and the textures worse, correct lightning is the way to a decent look.

[Desert-Rat 0]

well ok , so i can i say the base model is ready

so i start with the landing gear

[Desert-Rat 0]

Well i don't work on the landing gear yet , because i have no idea how to make it (because it need a script)

But in the time i have redone the textures a bit

[Desert-Rat 0]

I modified the Missle mounts now , the textures are looking so (burned) like a missle was fired

[Desert-Rat 0]

[Desert-Rat 0]

@ag_smith

Well Armored Fist was realistic one hit and your Abrams was destroyed

BTW: the game was from 92 ;) i think the american have change something on the Comanche in all these years ;)

Ahhh, Armored Fist, one of the first games to come out in CD-Rom... and I had to buy the diskette-edition... still it was the game that made me fall in love with the BMP2, hehehe

As for the Comanche, I had the 1st game, always wanted to get Comanche vs Hokum, but now there's OFP... what more could I want???

Back on topic, looks great, Desert Rat!!!

[Desert-Rat 0]
