[Vehicle] AAVP7A1

[motherdear]

fidling around with the armor system

[eenis]

very nice!

I checked out POE2 again and remembered how much i love PR

[motherdear]

update of both sides of the armor, just making them as seperat meshes so far until i get the final blockout of them done, and then they will need some tweaking to have armor plates not align exactly, making it feel a bit more custom.


quick viewport grabs.

@ Motherdear:

Do you need any extra references? If you want to, I could do some searching.

Oh, and good job so far.

[Rhino]

some good refs here: Picasa Web Albums - andy

[motherdear]

yeah what i desperatly need is some real good reference of the top of the vehicle (with the armor on) onlly got it without and i can't see how the armor joins up with the body on top.

You, my friend, are freaking awesome!

[torenico]

Oh my god, i have a new best Friend

yeah, the USMC really needs a weaker armed apc, just like the WZ511a and the Striker

this aint really it... Has a Mk19 as its main weapon

Although yes, a lot less powerful weapon wise than the LAV-25 I would say its probably effectiveness wise, just under the BTR-60? Not 100%, might be less but ye, quite a bit above the Strkyer firepower wise, thou the Mk19 would probably suck at range.

[smee]

just wondering is it armoured better? and how that would equate to game play

[motherdear]

it believe that it has a weaker armor in it's basic form, but with the armor system added on top it might be even more powerful than the stryker but i doubt it.

anyway for full specs of armor and similar look here:
Amphibious Assault Vehicle

the hard thing to judge is that it has different armor plates all over

[Tim270]

Very nice so far, pretty dam even poly distribution to, keep it up! Is this also a lot slower in water than the BTR?

[Maxfragg]

sure, the MK19 is interesting, but the striker could have one aswell, right? and anyways it should be lots weaker than the LAV-25s cannon, and i guess its not so fast in the water. anyone here already been inside one?

[WilsonPL]

In water:
BTR-60 10km/h
AAVP7A1 13,5km/h

and mk19 cannot penetrate armor

[motherdear]

okay another update for you guys, spent a few hours on adding stuff today, i made the armor and the vehicle a complete mesh and added various size tweaks to make the proportions right on the body (different armor sizes on each side of the vehicle) and then i adjusted small parts of the body to make room for the turrets etc and proportioned it right (thx for those ref pictures rhino helped a lot here)
on top of that i added the last small parts that joins the armor with the body itself so that there are no blunt faces. so to sum it all up i pretty much completed the add on armor system today (took about 7 hours in total (including waste time like eating etc )

so progress is going good, and for those of you guys that just want to see the progress take a look here





included pics for comparison.

Sorry, I had to post that, your model is looking very very well done.
