WIP: Stuff you are working on 2!

[suhsjake 1]

@suhsjake is that a custom soldier model? if so where did you your get the beret from?

It's from the A1 sample model. MTV texture by Johnny (only temporarily until I a can make a new one).

@Khugan: The joy of the pro's and con's of high versus low poly baking :).

You could photoshop the normals but tricky...

What you could do is adjust the high poly model to match the curves of the low poly model. As you know your high poly model (in subdiv mode) will try to relax your shape, unless you controle it with extra edges.

My suggestion:

Same can be done on the edge between the two corners, personally i would leave that edge out in the low poly model.

Otherwise you can add a bevel to the sharp corners in the low poly model with or without the modified high poly bake.

In the end, it will always be a hunt finding a balance (polycount versus normal map).

Been learning 3d modelling and working on a few helmet accessories.

Low Poly with AO applied in O2

Lol. Mine looks pretty similar.

Though I use the noob way to do it, no high poly baking etc..

[khugan 24]

I'm narrowing in on it slowly but surely. It's not perfect by any means, but I am pleased with the way it is turning out. I have learned a lot from this project and all your tips and suggestion. :p

I've gone from a 800k high poly to this 9111 face low poly. My limit is 10k (minus the scope bi-pod and other attachments) and I still have at least 4 small rails to go and the bottom of the top rail where it meets the receiver and guard. I may have to add back in some faces around the holes where I am getting some ugly artifact up close.

Looking at all the UV maps, I am wondering how on earth I am going to fit it all in a single map! :confused:

I tried making an unconventional multicam pattern but it ended up looking more like difused MARPAT or flora. Anyway fell free to use it for you addons:

[Fox '09 14]

did some work on my old school delta units. I got inspired by some OPF ranger and special forces unit addon, i can't recall who made them though.

pre-MSA RAV, the woodland color on it is not ugly enough yet though.

I knew that You will post something new Fox :D

Looks good. Even the Woodland is tolerably ;)

Keep it up.

Chinese knockoff?

[-GR-Operative 10]

Woodland is sexy. Period.

:)

Chinese knockoff?

the gentleman is wrong

[antoineflemming 14]

Chinese knockoff?

Isn't it usually the other way around.....

[suhsjake 1]

No, the yellow/tan in the pattern isn't standard, it is supposed to be a light tan. Usually, that is a sign of cheap Chinese knockoff, or substandard materials.

[Fox '09 14]

the UM21 system, some ELCS sets, and the LC-1 woodland stuff is pretty similar but not as saturated as the vest shown above.

[b00ce 160]

Took a hiatus, got re-inspired, so here I am again.

Took care of some lighting issues, still some more to chase down, as you can see.

added shadow volume, geometry and memory LODs, added a zasleh (Obviously)

Waiting to UV map the son of a bitch to do the detail LODs.

Any good tutorials for UV mapping in O2? :confused:

And I have no idea how to do any of the model.cfg or scripting stuffs, otherwise this screen would have been in game (I think). :o

[wolfbite 8]

Hey b00ce what kind of sight are you making for that baby?

[b00ce 160]

Hey b00ce what kind of sight are you making for that baby?

This kind.

Its temporary until I can think of something better. I'm contemplating having a version with a reflex sight, and I have an idea on how to do it so you have paralax but not be able to see it when not looking down the sights. More to come later. :D

[RabidStoat 39]

So we might be seing some variants on the old classic then?

[b00ce 160]

Potentially. At the very least you'll see different grenade types.

As for other equipment, I have the following planned for sure:

• Thermal monocle
  
• M41A Pulse rifle
  
  • Grenades:
    
  • HEAP
    
  • Bounding FRAG
    
  • Buckshot
    
  • WP Incendiary
    
  • Flares
    

  [*]M56 Smart gun

  [*]VP70 Pistol

  [*]The shotgun

  [*]M42 Sniper rifle

  [*]M5 RPG

  [*]M83 SADAR (Shoulder-launched Active-homing Disposable Anti-tank Rocket)

  [*]M112 HIMAT (Hypervelocity Intelligent Missile, Anti-Tank)

  [*]Mines

  [*]M78 PIG (Phased-plasma Infantry gun)

  [*]M240 Flamethrower

The two that are red are kind of iffy due to possible engine limitations.

Vehicles:

• UD-4L Cheyenne Dropship
  
  • Missiles/Rockets:
    
  • Mk 16 150mm FFAR
    
  • Mk 10 70mm FFAR
    
  • Mk 88 SGW
    
  • AGM-220
    
  • AGM-204 TSAM (Threat Suppression Attack Missile)
    
  • AIM-90 Headlock
    

  [*]M557 APC

  [*]M579 "Daisycutter" (AA version of the APC)

  [*]M22 Jackson Medium Tank

  [*]M40 Ridgway Heavy tank

  [*]M292 Self-propelled Howitzer (158mm)

All the stuff you've never heard of is from the Colonial Marine Tech Manual. I did not make the silly acronyms. :p

[icebreakr 3063]

Ok, we've seen numerous WIPs of Cheyenne Dropship... but only one released is from OFP? Are there any newer releases that I'm not aware? Good job on the M41A, Vilas made one before for his Colonial marines.

Most of those were probably me. lol :rolleyes:

That appears to be an express elevator to hell.

Sorry, no sonic electronic ball breakers, nukes, knives or sharp sticks. :(

As a lifeguard, I need to make my kill joy quota, my boss says no fun allowed. :p
