Modelling

Surround · Post by **Surround** » 2007-01-02 21:27

Hello! I'm pretty new to the community and for the mod, but I like both of them very much! I have posted few comments here and there.

After my army I started my studies in Finland. I'm studying photoshop/modelling (if I grow up i'll be a media-assistent).

I'm having a great time, but I'm bored to the tutorials what we do there all the time

So, I'd like to make model for PR. Just for my own fun. But I dont know anything about game modelling.

I have already started modelling gazelle, but I need information what I need to know when modeling for BF2. Like how many triangles it can have? Do I have to make modulars? Do I have to look out for unneccessary vertex? etc.

I tried to watch tips for modelling, but didnt find. I would be pleased If Yoo could give some tips for modellers.

Thank you for comments and thank you for the mod you have made!

Generally keep as low poly as you can. I can't remember exact guidelines, but 6000 is probably about right for a helicopter. You'd have to ask a modeller for more info though... Wybl, Stigger or mattb might be the best people to talk to. Or bfeditor.org

Learn poly modeling, get Ichi's tut (9 parts, this is only the first below):

Once you have that down, you'll definitely be a different modeler (for a new person, this tut is a days work probably).

I'd suggest learning basics of poly-by-poly or boxmodelling technique in general first. Don't start with any poly limits. It's going to be difficult to learn basics if you're trying to keep polycount in mind. Once you know how to make efficient highpoly objects, it's easy to move to realtime game graphics.

Thanks, but they arent really so great

The body and head are from a tutorial, so I really can't say im done them my self. But that start of the heli and the house are made by me.

That house is now my main project. But I rather would be modelling that heli
