[Weapon] M49A1 surface trip flare [WIP]

[tupla_s]

You'll eventually need to make LODs for it (at least for 3p)

When you're completely done with the model and UVs, clone it a few times (make sure it's a copy, not instance), and start removing polys. The multires modifier is very good for reducing poly count in a sane way, although for the lower lods you may well want to edit them a bit afterwards. You should give it 2 or 3 LODs, with the last ideally somewhere around 10% of the original poly count.

Like this? Is the hierarchy right?

[Z-trooper]

It looks about right yea. Try it out - see if it changes lod in the editor/game I think you could still pull off some polys though, at lod2 you cant really see all that much other than the general shape (especially if its a weapon/small object like this)

[Pride]

Yeah, for the last lod it really should be nothing more than a simple cylinder, with maybe a few bits on it.

[tupla_s]

Well it's ready, except that "string" should be remade and positioned. Anybody know where the model for it is located?


Chuc I'll PM you the files, so you can animate it.

Yes, looks good. Perhaps add another really low poly one, but it would be fine as it is there.

Already made the lod2 as low I could whit out losing the shape. Other lods are the same


Still should fix the "string", but can't find it anywhere from the objects folder.

I have a small shadow problem with the model. The shadow makes an clear edge rather than changing smoothly to darker. If you look at the left side of the handle you can see the shadow makes a clear edge on the flare part.
Anybody know what's causing that edge. Not a big problem, it's just annoying.

Nice, that's awesome anim.

[=Romagnolo=]

Good one !

[motherdear]

good animation but the last part where he puts it in the ground should be lengthened a bit (he should raise his hand and jab it into the ground at the moment he is like throwing it there, you should allow the time for him to raise the hand immediatly after he pulled the safety) that's about it except for that it's an awesome model and a good animation.

[EOD_Security-2252]

Nice. I'm happy the trip finally has a suitable replacement.

[Scot]

Nice work Chuc and Tupla!!
