[Vehicle] AAVP7A1

[motherdear]

okay so another tiny update coming your way now:

added both the driver and the commander station (at least i think it is) to the mesh.
also began on the big hatch in the back (hard getting this done properly because i can't seem to find any really really good closeup pics of it and it seems different from model to model.
also added some plates in the front for aestethics and because they need to be there
then i tweaked both light positions on the vehicle to get them to save tris and did the same to some of the smaller wheels in the track system. this means that even though i have added a couple of new things to the model the tri count is now the same as it was before approx 7k

as someone once said

keep it simple stupid
that's why i did this small thing to the back only with simple boxes (keeps tri's down and looks awesome)

[j45h89]

Wow...just wow! how can u manage to produce such a fantastic model in such a short space or time? Keep it up mate!!!!

[Raynizzle1691]

you are definitely gifted

[Tonnie]

looking good try and keep around that Tris count and you will be fine but just listen to what [R-DEV]Rhino says as his more on the ball then me

[rangedReCon]

Still looks awesome, and on a sidenote OMG [R-DEV]Tonnie!

[Priby]

As said, the thing itself looks ugly but your model looks really good.

And congrats, Tonnie!
You earned it.

[Tonnie]

Yer really coming along... Question tho are you going to model the inside of the AAVP7?

[motherdear]

yup tonnie i'm going to model the insides of it too, even though it's going to be a pain in the ***, but it aint the main priority yet, going to get the model done and uv it before anything else, so that hopefully somebody can begin the texturing process so that it will have a slight chance of actually making .9 even though it's a slim chance i guess (how long does it take to code and test approx (Rhino, anybody ?)) but after that i will begin on the interior design

Sounds like a wise decision... And as for time on getting something coded tested and ingame as far as i know its diffrent for everymodel as the may be problems with the model that will need to be fixed or there may be a problem with the export... But yeah like i said its diffrent for every model....

Tho i am pleased that you are going to make the interior....

ye the interior can be made a 100% separate object, providing it fits inside etc its all good

For exporting, coding etc, that really very much depends on how many exporters we have, how much time they have, if they are exporting other stuff etc etc. I can not give you a good time frame, since with a good exporter that has loads of time, something can be ingame in under a week, but most of the time that's not the case.

[motherdear]

z-trooper already promised me that he would import it as a static object for me in the first place so that we could look at potential errors and similar, afterwards i guess it should be imported with animations etc so that it could actually work as a vehicle hehe. but thx for the clarifications rhino

[Rhino]

ye I always import my stuff (and other ppls work I'm looking at) into bf2 as a simple object to check for errors but that's not the same as a full export.

[Squeezee]

768 40MM rounds is a lot, I hope I never have to go up against one of these .

Anyway, good work. I tip my hat to you.

[motherdear]

okay guys i'm in doubt here, i'm adding the last stuff to the back at the moment basicly, but i can choose to add it as a seperat object that adds 208 tris to the model or i can add it to the mesh but that takes up 326 tris.

how does the engine handle seperat objects, and what would be the best, a complete mesh with higher tri count or a more seperat mesh that has a lower one ?

edit: forgot to add that i need 2 of these (cylinders that are 6 sided)

[motherdear]

here's the part i'm talking about
