Nice model.

I've got several pics of it too but not uploaded, including details on the gunner's hatch.

Nice renders but i think the wheels are way over detailed for a video game, you should not make these kind of tires with that amount of detail, a more simple cylinder would do the job .

[Kirby 2]

Im no addon makers but Ill quote a few peeps "Save the little details (IE. Your tyres and some of the lines on there) for textures!"

[abs 2]

I am in agreement with everyone here. The model is quite good so far! But you'd benefit by using textures for the treads. (I know it'll be a dissapointment to use cylinders after seeing it in that detail, but it's worth it.)

Keep up the great work!

You could swap the wheel detail for some more details on the model. For example the front grill could be modelled instead made with a texture. It way lower poly then the high poly wheels and gives a great detail on the model.

I say model the nuts and bolts too.

Great stuff

Will you also add Dutch version of it?

Yes, I'll do both Aussie and Dutch versions.

I'm going to try and use the high-poly tire to texture a low-poly version, I'll most likely do the same on other parts of the model too.

Some people need to read up on modern texturing techniques available in Armed Assault...

Quote[/b] ]One of the most interesting uses of normal mapping is to greatly enhance the appearance of a low poly model exploiting a normal map coming from a high resolution model.

Like surpher said.

Nice model, simple, but than again the vehicle is a very basic shape to begin with

Good to hear

Damn http

I found them a while ago Sniper Skull, these ones http://www.primeportal.net/apc/peter_van_iren/bushmaster_nld/ were only posted in the last couple of weeks, and together have been very helpful, along with the orthographic line drawings I found in the Thales PDF brochure.

texture looks really good... from what i can tell from those pics at least - nice one

I don't know this vehicle, but i like it...

Is it the australian counterpart of the german "Dingo"?

That is looking very good.

Might you consider making a version suitable for OFP as well or be willing to grant permission to import it into OFP?

I don't see why not, I'll decide if I do it myself or pass it on once the ArmA version is completed.

Looking very good mate! Looking forward to seeing a Dutch Bushmaster in-game. If you need any more reference materials, give a shout, I'm sure there will be loads of Dutch fans who will be more then willing to link through and provide images. There are plenty on the net now.

Thanks for the link manhunter , I hadn't checked Primeportal for a while.

Need Help please

I built a test vehicle to practice getting the Bushmaster into ArmA, I've got the wheels and steering wheel turning ok and an AI driver can drive around without any major problems. The problem is I don't get the option to enter an empty vehicle without having to remove the proxy.driver.01 from the model, and when I start of as the driver of the vehicle the game crashes.

Vehicle addons are new to me and I'm not sure if its a model or a config problem, any help you can give me is appreciated.

Thanks in advance

hmm i am not expert either so i hope i dont harm your progress

i see no memmory points for

getindriver

driverview

getindriverdir (called zamerny)

i have no idea if you have to call skeleton including word Bones

but maybe surph_tvBones

something like adding this add the three memmory points above

config add these

also i am getting in my arma rpt you have no keyframe anim or missing and geometry lod problem

there out of my league.

hopefully a pro will be here soon
