New 3d toys? XI

[ccc]

share you some nice shots..

[Com_gp]

Oh, i didnt know you were gonna post here that pic

So... well, here is the full description of what me and a friend made during a whole night of LAN playing...



I also have an acmee, and..., btw, it took us SEVERAL tries...

ComGP

[ccc]

wow, i guess lots tries to make it perfect!

how about a ACMI, or somekind of AVI vedio clip for us, like that Korean sq did! ya, post-production is very important

[Com_gp]

Ok, now is my turn

Here is the incredible fuel tanks by ccc, NICE stuff, fun for playing the vnam campaign



ComGP

[Com_gp]

Ok, here is the ACMI, maybe someone wanna check it

And... could anyone tell me how to make an AVI from an ACMI???

That would be cool to make a small video of a nevada flight

BTW, the ACMI is at Korea, seoul airbase, so you must have Korea theater selected

YEEEEEES! thanx a lot! thats what i want!! so it proves fuel tank mod is ok for the public!

btw, you can use HyperCam, but better ask Korean guys, they use something better, the result looks better too.

[Hunter]

Great work! Give us more!

[Com_gp]

well, ccc, the tank is very cool but i still think you should move the (0,0,0) to the center of the fuel tank, its in the back right now.

Honestly, this fuel tank should be used with its own pylon. the attach point is exactly the real thing, protruding more in the front, not in the middle.

btw, can i have another shot? the USN fusiform central fuel tank? you probably need to add one more pylon for this.

[Com_gp]

Ok, here's the pic, the USNAVY F4E fuel tanks

YEEES!! THANX ComGP! (hehe you could use Harald Renner's USN "showtime100" skin for this shot..availabe at f4C ).

so both tank mods are ready!
and an ideal shot is loading a phantom with "two sausage and one cigar", two wing tanks and one central tank! i seldom see photo with three cigar tanks there

btw, the final polishing will be "pitch down 1-2 degree along long axis of central tank", for the sake of TRT(tm)!

Out of curiousity, and maybe to provoke someone into doing it *hint, hint*, I assume its possible to make more detailed aircraft skins, by (for example) doubling the skin resolutions? Sure the textures would have to be remapped (wouldnt they?), but is there any other limitation, such as a maximum pixel by pixel skin size???

Increasing the detail on the models (even if the models themselves stay fairly basic), could breathe even more life and longevity into F4.

And i still wanna know about those Trees ASAP...

Surely its doable to double, or triple textures for any a/c shape. AFAIK, somebody is working on that.
the max size of a single texture is 256x256 pixel. 512 or above wont work. but with more texture, the details will be much sharper.

frankly, i dunno if it deserve to upgrade these shapes, ComGP shows us a new a/c could be done from scratch, and it could be easier to upgrade something in this way.

[Zaggy]

Well, how about both??? Better shape AND sharper skins??? ComGP can redo the models with more detail and change the texture maps so we can have nicer SHAPED and nicer LOOKING models... Who needs JFA-18E???

[ccc]

ya, but i got lots of my own projects to do.
ComgP got his too.

[hc_pookie]

Some of the aircraft models are being redone, and texture mapping to go along with it. I know CCC had started on the Mig-29 and the Su-27 but only on the 1st LOD. I'm looking at the Harrier and F/A-18 skins. The A-10 is being totally redone. There are several others too, but like so many things this is going to take some time.

IMHO many of the aircraft are textured OK, but need new tail art. That's what the F/A-18 is going to get - 5 or 6 squadrons! ... but only for eF 1.10 as the squadron texturesets are hard-coded and were only changed in eF 1.10.

Hehe,

That sounds more like me!

[ccc]

well, i didnt post pic for a while..
thanx to Mike for lod tweak and Panther for skin. no, this one not ready in f4p.

[ccc]

few more, have fun.

[Hunter]

/me drools!

Great job as usual!

Question: is it possible to change the "square" wheels to something more... that looks like a wheel?

[RP]

Yes!

I need a bib!

[Widowmaker]

Awesome,.. no further comments needed..

btw can the tanks be textured green..

Widmak

[ccc]

Ya, stand along with our 3d masters, everything is possible

few more European series!

[Ender Wiggin]

wher cam one find all of these wonderful models?

[Parislord]

CCC, where can I find those awsome tanks?!? External fuel, that is...

How about a U-2 for Falcon?

[ccc]

well, i should visit TSH everyday!
Seems our old friends do great job on Hornet side instead of Falcon
very nice U2/C160/SE/M2k/Rafale, and it seems the conversion is flawless, from those shots.

Wnat U2/TR1? 3ds model could be done easily by many modelers, but the conversion to lod is up to genius. I've printed and read latest lod Doc, still cant get thru some part.

hmm..i always like to "borrow" some models for F4, Team Super Hornet's mod is always my target, regretfully, no chance.

However, that inspired me, Dragon, could you convert Jane's F/A18's J3D(?) format into LE? If yes, yeah, we could have some nice ship and a/c, instead of searching 3d models sites on the net. After all, sim models are mostly optimized for its own use!

Im drooling at the ship model and...JSF! http://ham.dogfighter.com/images/008097.jpg

Drooling at those pit model, i heard they are build in 3ds format. http://ham.dogfighter.com/teamsuperhorn ... nshots.htm

so that explains why no update on Project Vision site? http://ham.dogfighter.com/projectvision/index.htm
