Macser_old 0 Posted March 27, 2007 After some problems involving invalid faces, I've had to go back to the drawing board. Which meant recreating Meshes from scratch, Such as the hull.And incorporating elements of a third party model by one Kenny mitchell. Otherwise I'd be back at square one. It's takin longer than I'd hoped,but I'm gettin there. Currently this model weighs in at just over 6000 polys.But I may yet trim that down even further,without losing much in the way of detail. Although this is unfinished,all comments and suggestions are of course welcome. Macser Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Santosa 0 Posted March 28, 2007 dude, 6000 faces is fine for a tank type unit. just add sufficient lods, and it will run great. no need to lower details in the first lod Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Macser_old 0 Posted March 28, 2007 Hello,Santosa. All I was really concerned with was deleting unseen faces and isolated points,left over from the creation process. Ye know,just tidying up,makin a nice clean hull.Fully enclosed. Makes life easier for selection based mapping. The hull you see in the above pic has around 500/520 faces,minus some relief work on the sides.But the chassis is pretty angular anyway,so that's not a worry. That's without wheels of course.Which I don't want to be mean with,given the shape,and the fact they'll be at eye level. Macser Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Macser_old 0 Posted March 30, 2007 Still workin on it.Just in the middle of doin the interior. 1st LOD polycount:5776 faces,7320 points. (excluding proxies and muzzle flash) Ground clearance is a little higher than the movie version. Works better on bumpier terrain.So it may be a smidge taller than you'd expect.But not by much.

Kirby 2 Posted March 30, 2007 prodetar2, I'm looking at your sig... Answer: Don't will out your knife, Put weapons down and make a universal surrender, then help it kill the Alien. Muchos respectos from the Predator, and he doesn't kill you Anyvays. I will try out all this shizz when its done. Looks good, nice job so far! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UKSubmariner 0 Posted March 31, 2007 I hate to be Mr. Negativity here.. but haven't we learnt that OFP doesn't do indoor combat all that well... Unless your proposing to do it as a multiplayer thing.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Macser_old 0 Posted March 31, 2007 Evening. There's nothing negative about making an honest comment Submariner. @Rsa Viper The colour of the APC is an olive drab. That's if you believe the various sources. In any case,that's what I've decided to go with. What looks grey in the movie,I think,is a combination of the finish and the studio lights.And possibly special filters on the cameras. For instance,the alien drones aren't actually black in colour.They're a deep blue with gold/ yellow highlights.But with camera filters and lighting,they appear a sort of shimmery black. @UKSubmariner As for the indoor combat,that's not really somethin I know too much about.But I assume you mean the way AI deal with building interiors(not very well).So the action probably wouldn't be too dynamic,in a single player environment. Buildings in OFP would seem more suited to player vs player.Provided you've got enough elbow room. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UKSubmariner 0 Posted April 3, 2007 Silly question, but are you going to intergrate Der Bastler's Marines? I know they're getting on a bit.. but they still look damn good... and it'd save you some time getting the APC ready... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Macser_old 0 Posted April 3, 2007 Hey Submariner, Bastlers marines were quite good. But I've already made a start at doing a basic marine,myself. If Snowball and Prodetar decide to go with Der Bastlers models though,I've no problem with that. (Textures just for reference) ^ ^ Either way I don't think it's goin to speed up the APC being done. Not only am I essentially scratch building it.But I'm also hand drawing all textures. It'll amount to a good bit of work, whatever way it ends up.Speaking for myself,I've no intention of letting any of it rot on my hard-drive. Macser Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
