Man spacemanc you're amazing! Any chance of this becoming a vehicle one day? Would that require more modelling or coding? just curious.

space · Post by **space** » 2009-03-12 14:59

As I said the headlights are temporary, and the grille only comes to 128 polys, so its worth modelling it for the extra detail. Ive spent more time on the details as it might be used as a drivable vehicle now

. This means that Im going to aim for around 3000 polys ( I think that the challenger tank is something like 12000 polys! )

PS : Tann - To make it drivable it would need to be coded, exported and also the texturing works in a different way. I personally dont have time for that atm, as Ive got lots of statics to make, and a map to finish!

Really nice, I hope to see it ingame and even drive it!!!
Looks like this Mercedes one is famous because we did exactly the same car for our Crysis mod... haha

Cool - have you got any screenshots you can post up?

The EA models were actually great in all aspects, for their time. 64 players running around, lots of vehicles, lots of bullets, lots of fast gaming and lots of environment.

People are always putting down their work, but they are professionals and made it run extremly smooth for the level of detail on everything.

Sorry for the rant

nothing personal.

space, looking great, but I think I've told you that more than once already

yer i suppose, i forgot that BF2 is actually quite old. so yes i agree with you on that!

Its finished!

Ive not made any glass for it, because apparently bf2 uses bundled meshes or something, so I have to look into how to do that.

Also the models not been optimised at all. It comes to just over 3500 polys at the moment, but the temporary headlights make up 400 polys, and also I totally over modelled the seats, so they came to almost 800 polys.

Hopefully after I optimise it, it should come to around 2500 polys. ( Im not sure how many polys the windows will come to )

If I knew how to I would! Im a bit of a beginner at 3ds max. This is only the third model that Ive made. My first model was a helicopter, and the second was a 30 poly signboard.

Ive not used max for almost a year since I made the helicopter, so a big thank you to Z-Tropper, for being my on-line 3dsmax user manual

no problemo mate, you were an easy apprentice

will take a look at it when I get home from uni and come with suggestions for optimizing and further refinements.

I finished the model, but it was never textured.

Ive also finished working for PR, so you wont be getting to see it in-game unfortunately.

Please, for the love of all that is holy, tell me that your map will still be featured in PR!
