[Faction Proposal] JGSDF Forces

[General Dragosh]

I' can't even make a nice cube in 3Ds, Noobage from the Battlefield Singleplayer website made it.
Here's his blog on modeling

you can get rid of the Mg that would save you poly in the end.

Hello guys, Noobage from the BFSP forums here,
I see Rambohunter's posted a render of my tank. Is it good enough? I did my best to make it as close to the real thing as possible, since the mod it's for is project reality

Anyway, i'm posting because I want to model another Japanese tank, the prototype Type 10 TK X tank.

Could you guys help me find some decent reference material for this tank? A Tri-view blueprint and a few (hopefully high-res) pics would help a lot. Thanks in advance, and good luck with the mod

For the moment I'll leave it, but to be honest from what I can tell the gun is functionally useless. It looks like it has a very small arch of fire, too small to be fun to use

Welcome to the forums Noobage.
Your Type 90 MBT model looks pretty awesome and will helpt this faction a damn lot. I think it's in name of all involved in this faction (And also from those who want to see this faction in PR) that I thank you for sharing effort and helping this project


As for reference for the Type 10... Good luck there. There's a very limited number of photos of the prototype available. 3-D renders made before the public appearence of the first prototype are pretty different from the prototype so I suggest you not to use any 3-D renders.
I cannot say either that the finished model of the Type 10 will be exactly identical to the prototype that was shown off early last year. It could have a lot of changes from then 'til mass production stage. I would suggest you to wait some months until further pictures are made available of Japan's new Tank.

However if you're still interested in making the type 10 in its prototype version... Here's the pictures I have of it:






That's all I found in image. I have suggestion 'though... if you want to help this faction with vehicle models, you could try to make the Type 89 IFV Mitsubishi Type 89 IFV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia , Komatsu LAV Komatsu LAV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia or the Toyota HMV Toyota HMV .
Here's a nice page with reference pics of those vehicles: Armour-Asia1

Anyway... the MBT is already a great help. Thanks

Edit: lol 162eRI... posted the same suggestions like me while I was typing them

[tmnoobage]

Thanks guy

He was saying that because, i think, we will add the MG object to the Tank once we export it? or something like that, i'm not a specialist...

Oh yeah the MG's just there for looks at the moment, I have no idea how export but I think your right.

Thanks for the pics Panzerfire, but I guess you guys are right, there isn't really a lot of point of modelling a tank that's not out yet and has very limited reference material. No promises, but I might have a shot at that AA tank, I've never modeled AA before. I'm not sure about that IFV though, it looks too similar to the Italian Dardo IFV I made a while back. It'd be kinda like modeling the same tank twice



Do you guys have a mod team assembled? I know Ramokiller is making some (very nice) skins, but is there another modeller or a mapper around?

[STORM-Mama]

Just me or does that thing look very similar to the British Schimitar currently ingame?

Btw, creds to Noobage for his awesome modelling work! Looks like this community faction is going strong - good luck to all of you!

[Panzerfire]

Not yet a mod team. I think we will have more people wanted to wrok with us once the other factions will be released. For now, there are Rambo_Hunter (Ramokiller ^^), me, Arem (he is making the rifles), and people like Panzerfiren, Tannhauser, Shoptsicks etc... who help and Sekiryu who helps and creates the topic. I've myself some of my friends who will help me for the statics. That's all for now.

Meh I just offered my Flecktarn camouflage brushes for the model player re-skin. ^^;
That's as best contribution I can make without knowing how to model, skin, mapping and such.

Japan is deployed in Iraq now


Hmm, could we retexture the Wasp for the Japanese? because they have a nice navy and i'd assume they'd be fighting China in Korea or manchiria or something. (And because i'd want to do an amphibious assault with the Japanese)

(you realism people are probably shaking your heads right now as you write a flame post to me )

And the Australian Army was protecting the Japanese Engineers while they did there work. I think the more the better hey. I love to see Australian forces.
But one day Id like to see like total squads made up of factions, like one squad with Australians, another squad Japanese, and another squad USA, Brits so on. So when the Amercian Squad gets into trouble and a Australian Squad comes over to save them, we can give em stik about it hehehehehehehe

[Panzerfire]

Look at 3:45.

Initially I thought it was two guys while the passenger made the shooting. Now I remember why that scene was so epic... because it was the driver making the shooting!!!

I wonder whetter it's possible to make an animation for PR that would allow to make such maneuver.


Oh... I was thinking about all the factions that might be fighting the JSDF and we forgot to add the JSDF's life time enemy... GODZILLA!

We can't have the JSDF without Godzilla right?

[Sizum85]

when are you guys getting your subforums?

[Rudd]

Godzilla is overpowerd

[sekiryu]

Man, I made a nice video a while ago with Citizen/Soldier, but 3 Doors Down didn't like it and had it pulled from my YouTube. It's a freaking free song from the National Guard website for crying out loud.

Wow i didnt know google sketchup could do that.

If we did do a urban map I suggest Shinjuku.

I've always wanted to drive a tank down a main road in a big city.

Shinjuku Station is under attack! Protect the Hachiko statue!
