Ofp 3dmax tutorial...

Recommended Posts

Now THAT is what we need!!!!!!

We need to know things like:

1) What's the adverage poly count of objects?

2) (I need) A complete MAPPING tutorial for 3DS>OFP

3) SIZE! Im hoping like most game I've models for it uses about real world sizes for the objects.

4) HEIRACY! What should it look like?

...the list is endless but if BIS is going to Oxygen soon it sure would be nice to see some ENGLISH 3ds>ofp manuals.

I have about a 1/2dz. other ppl's models Im working on now at my site...

That weird looking chopper, is it the Command & Conquer cobra? smile.gif Looks fantastic.

Reminds me, we need a C&C mod becuz Renegade is a bit crappy in my opinion confused.gif

Think about: Mammoth tanks, MLRS, maybe even a flame tank or a stealth tank.

Well, THATS modern warfare! smile.gif

If very well could be. Their are hundres of free 3ds models are out there avail. Last year I converted over 100 cars from NFS to a game called Sports Car GT. Once you have the procedure down and all your models pre-built it's pretty easy.

Poly count is import tho... To many polys and FPS fall thru the floor. Bad part is most the good free models out there have WAY TOO MANY poly's to actually use in any game. Like the ones you see above... Im sure they will need several hundred poly's removed before we can use them. So sometimes it not as easy as it may sound.

Now on the other hand... I have atleast 200 weapons models in 3ds format I took from Rouge Spear that need only mapping.

...ohya and a PLUG-IN for 3DS!!!!!

Which reminds as to why I started this thread... I could have swore the email from BIS read: They would be releasing a plug-in for 3DSmax at the end of Feb... (NOW!smile.gif for us to use, and later, near the end on Mar. they would release Oxygen itself once they completed translating the manuals from Greman to English...

I guess Ill have my answer within 4 days...

Depends on what LOD one is speaking about.

I posted this in the I44 forum (a part of my post)

"Plane, high detail, 1000-2000 polys

Plane, semi high detail, 800-1200 polys

Plane, medium detail, 600-800 polys

Plane, low detail, 200-600 polys

Plane, crap model, <100 polys"

OFP models average at around 1500 polys on max detail. Internals are more detailed (BMP internal is 4000+ polys I think).

Hmm need to export some of those C&C Renegade models although they arent too realistic. But i really need a MammothTank to whoop some serious Abrams but (remember RedAlert where X66 Mamoth was on Soviet side? In C&C it was US but I liked C&C better because units were much cooler)
