cleggy 297 Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) Thought I'd join the general melee with an early WIP of my British 'Bulldog' APC. and: YES I know it's ugly... YES I know it's obsolete... and YES if your a UK taxpayer it's a FANTASTIC waste of your money ... but, hey, I'm a UK taxpayer ... if I've paid for it then I bl**dy want one!..

daman3 19 Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) Today I worked on the gun a little, there is still a lot to do but as the old saying goes: Time goes on, and your work develops. Sorry for the dark renders on some monitors, light source wasn't finally set. Atm I'm working on reducing the power of the bump maps and the diffuse map in general.

max power 21 Posted February 17, 2011 Pics are too dark to see anything. In one of the highlights, it looks like your bump map is too strong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

max power 21 Posted February 18, 2011 use photoshop to brigthen :)but yeah' date=' normal seems abit strong[/quote'] Too much effort. I use photoshop to do my own stuff... least he could do if he wants to show his stuff is make it so I don't have to jump through hoops just to see it.

PuFu 4600 Posted February 18, 2011 WIP of the model inspired by Shadow Company:http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/3916/shadowcprogress.png By the way that gun looks epic. Can post a wireframe image as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ziiip 1 Posted February 18, 2011 :D I added a subsurface modifier to it to make it look nicer. It's low poly without it. Anyway, here you go: http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/7909/wireframe.png Btw that APC looks pretty good to me, it looks like most of the work is already done! ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fox '09 14 Posted February 18, 2011 Holy .... You're not using this for ingame right ? Edit: doh, nevermind. Can we see the low poly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ziiip 1 Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) Here is the low poly image: http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/5480/lowpoly.jpg And in wireframe mode: http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/899/lowpwire.jpg Well its almost 20k faces, but the radio cord has 5k of those. :D I add the subsurf without applying it and work till it looks good with that modifier. Anyway, if you feel like donating a CIRAS vest, I'm not going to resist. :D Edited February 18, 2011 by ziiip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
max power 21 Posted February 18, 2011 The original mesh is quite dense and subdividing it doesn't really add much... at least, I can't *really* tell the difference other than spotting the vertex shading problem on the vest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gnome_AS 10 Posted February 19, 2011 Haven't had much time to do anything hobby related the last couple weeks. But I did find a few hours to drag the tablet out and get some of the base colors painted on. Still dinking around with colors/textures. Hopefully I'll find time to do some real work on it soon. No normals or AOs, just quick mr renders. ;) --- --- --- . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

noubernou 77 Posted February 19, 2011 Just some random WIP stuff I am doing for ACE2... WP Smoke for the arty... nu9aIsVaE4g and making the BIS M47 Dragon suck as much as it does in real life... UlrCvlObzgA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gnome_AS 10 Posted February 20, 2011 The WP looks pretty good. I remember the 155 rounds hitting and expanding quite rapidly upward about twice/thrice as high, as wide. Then it all kinda grew/fell together. If that makes sense. Looks cool one way or the other though ;) (former FO, 3ID) . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
max power 21 Posted February 20, 2011 That's neat. I like the m47 dragon stuff. Now you just have to make it sound like it's constantly exploding super loudly and you're set! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

noubernou 77 Posted February 21, 2011 so lame but so great lol. can't wait to see it in the next public build of ace nou. Yea will appear after 1.9 stable is out, too much of a risk to throw into the RCs at the moment (feature freeze or not). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

noubernou 77 Posted February 22, 2011 You are all probably bored to death of my Dragon videos lately, but here is pretty much what it will look like in its final state. T8BFt36Z6L0 Integrated it with ACE fully (was a mission script the last two videos). The sights zoom is where I'm happy (technically it should be zoomed in a tiny bit more) and its correcting its flight path more realistically now (as far as I can tell). Also replaced the AI version so it sounds like the Dragon when its flying (though it still moves like a TOW). As you can see its pretty unwieldy! What an amazing piece of crap! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
