Hey guys just wanted to show you this wip, Because the walls on this map are going to be breachable i thought i would give my hand at modeling something that does the job :)

i think this is what the uk use to make small breachin holes but i couldnt find any infomation on it hope u like it:eek:

Nice,

Got the breachable walls done with help from Rock which can be breached with satchel charge. working on various sizes.

just need to get the rubble to work so that it shows on the ground after being breached.

No way. how does your breach thing work?

[jamesf1 0]

Arb - those look fantastic, but two quick questions:

Firstly, any chance of roughing up the blast hole a bit (i.e. so it looks more broken along crack/weakness lines, etc. [e.g. here or here])? No issue if not (e.g. if it's too many faces, etc.), but just thought I'd ask, as they look a little too 'smooth/regular' to me :)

Secondly, how easy is it for someone to move through the holes after breaching? I'm sure you've thought through it well, but it'd be a shame to only have them be of much use for shooting through :)

the sas used them in the iranian embassy siege its 3 pieces of pe4 attatched to 2x4 pieces of wood that you lean against a wall with some det coord

still work to be done on apperance. no issues with walking through the holes.

looking very nice arb!

Anybody know how to get rid of these dark shaddows on the surface, I have removed the surface and redone it but it remains, hmm

[jtec 0]

Is it your shadow lod? If not then it could be a face on a face.

Shaddow lod seems fine, the surface looks like this in visitor:

[rksl-rock 1300]

That looks like its got a double face on it. But you need to remember that shadow lods need sharp edges and all faces triangulated ,and inverted. And finally make sure you dont have any textures applied.

[DaSquade 0]

You forgot it needs to be a closed geometry...but that doesn't look the case here.

Personally i think the res lod is not triangulated where as the shadow lod is (should be). You might redo that part...

-> Select your res lod model and squarize (if possible, setting all edges to soft might help in some case). Do the same for your shadow model.

Then convert bought models with the option "Structure -> Triangulate Convex". Normally all triangulated edges should be equal, if not use the "turn edge tool". In case you don't know how that works:

Select at least two faces (tris) that cover the area where an edge needs to be flipped. Then use the tool and press on the edge you want to flip. Don't forget to press F5 on selected model.

It might also help if you scale you shadow model a bit inwards, so it is slightly smaller in proportion of your res lod model.

*Rock, i though inverted shadow was only handy for complex stuff and stuff like interiors. For a simple object like a wall normal facing faces should do the trick imho.

Regarding the shoothing hole in the wall, you might want to fix that nasty UV error on one of the faces (in the picture, from hole going upwards and left). You also want to try giving the edge smooth values or if possible give it a bevel (me don't like low poly sharp edges).

[arb 11]

thanks guys, couldn't fix it so starting from scratch.

[arb 11]

been working on some small walls to go around some of the fields...

still some work to be done (mainly texturing) to get them looking like..

[Darkhorse 1-6 16]

Beautiful. One of the reasons I can't wait for this map is the level of detail you get into.

[enad 11]

Damn. Looks really awesome!!

Arb, when it comes closer to the time of release, PM me, I could take some very high res screenshots to advertise your map. Just a thought. :)

[Schancky 10]

Looking very nice there man! As darkhorse said, your level of detail is stunning!
