[Vehicle] Fuchs 1A8 [WIP]

[KiloJules]

Rhino, just out of interest:

Why are the little wheels included in the 1p model? Neither the crew nor the passengers should be able to see them at any point, or do they? Is this the reason why we can see wheels of vehicles inside the cabin sometimes? Like when hitting a huge bumb with a logy truck, you can see the wheels inside!?

--------

To all involved here:

Thanks for a) starting this model b) providing all the feedback and c) listening to and incorporating it
Will be a blast when this asset is rolling around the battlefield!

Keep up the good work and good luck with it!

I believe its down to how the vehicle was coded, with the wheel models not actually being part of the main mesh (which is normally how they are done) but instead for some reason they are child objects, added via code.

I think Guedoe iirc, was testing out this new method of doing the wheels with the AAV export/coding, but tbh, I think its isn't as good solution due to draw call numbers and like you said, 1p tri count and ye, it is most likely the reason why you sometimes see the wheels coming up though sometimes, most likely when the wheels hit a large object at speed and the "springs" need to give quite a bit.

i think you got my refpack not ?

anyway old refpack and another one with new interior sources + FLW mount (could you model this aswell, we need this also for the DingoA2 ?)

old: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/10414675/fuchs.rar
new: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/10414675/fuchs ... %2BFLW.rar

also the Fuchs should get an 3p Interior only for the Drivers Cabin, which you can see into from the outside, can be pretty low poly as you cant see much through the small windows but should be there

thx for your stunning work surround

[Surround]

Thx for comments and advice everybody. I started making the 1p lowpoly cabin yesterday. Im taking little bit differenet approach with that. I try to make it witou using too much hipoly baking stuff. Just to save time.

[Surround]

Ah, the new ref pack is great!! Helps me alot!

[Surround]

Slow but steady progress. Ugly as a wrinkled sheet still

[James2464]

Looking good, keep it up

i love it , did i tell you that my company had a Fuchs during my military service ?

funny story: this vehicle has no keys to lock it so we used padlocks in XXL

[Surround]

I actually modelled those thigns where you put padlocks. But I think ill not put them in the final low poly

German engineering at its best !

I have been pretty sick this and last week. But its getting better now and I have strength and motivation again to continua with my thesis.

So I need a quick question about the cab. Should i keep the 3plod1 separate model or element from the hull?

[Kovanaama]

No idea.

PS: This is awesome! Keep it up!

[Rhino]

each lod is a separate object.

[Surround]

Cabin wip. Still modelling to do and optimizing. I tried to make a pretty sky to help your imagination

But that was jsut a screen cap and theres is soo much still to do

[Amok@ndy]

lookin good

[MADsqirrel]

Do you plan to make the 1A8A3 version too?
TPz Fuchs 1 A8A3A1

The biggest difference in-game would be the FLW


Either with a 12,7 MG or a 40mm GMW (auto-grenadelauncher).

It would be a lot more usefull in-game with a bigger weapon than the MG 3.
Also we will use it in Afghanistan this year, so it would be realistic (I wish someone would make the Boxer)

[Surround]

Dont, maybe later. But for now i want to finish this version.

And it still depends on what the faction leader wants.

[Amok@ndy]

yeah the Fuchs will use a FLW-100

[Surround]

Mmm, what about the mg turret thingy what i made to the middle? Whats the main priority? To make the mg version or the flw?

[Amok@ndy]

we could need both but for current scenario the FLW-100 is mostly used in afghanistan
