[Vehicle] CB90N [WIP]

[H.sta]

I do not believe that the norwegian version of this has the twin M2s in the front. just the manned .50 on top

i will also send you some refs as soon as i get MY internet back... don't really know whos internet i am on right now. had to walk for 30mins to find an open connection

... my router blew up... it is hard living without internet

[cid228]

There seems to be 2 versions in use by Norway ...

90H seen here ..


And then the 90N (I presume) ..

There are a few differences;
90N has no M2 bay in front.
90N has 4 windows from transport compartment while 90H has 6.
Different "knot-tie-thingies".
Differences in rails, small but still.
Landing on the back ..

I could go on for a while on the even smaller differences iv´e found..
For the main part I have concentrated on the 90N version, with exception of the M2 bay and windows.(will change those)

Detailing ...
Right now the polycount is at 4698.



Will post more when I got some progress ...










Meanwhile ..some EYECANDY !!!

(2003 version, lowpoly !..really ..was like 5 polygons)

Looking good

[The_MDexs]

its can be better and better

[cid228]

Reference comparison ...
(not an exact camera match..)




I have made a few tweeks since last night, mainly to the new rail-thing on the back landing, removed some unwanted polys.
Radar must be wider and a bit lower, hatches above driver/navigator may have to be moved back a bit, small windows on the side of the hull should be thinner (and 1 less per side), rails on deck should be cut for the life-raft containers (? ..Swedish-meatball containers)
The cockpit windows is a real pain in the *** to get looking right, the angle makes it hard to tell what goes where compared to the different reference pic´s.


... to be continued !

i dont know if you're talking with somebody about what to optimize etc. via PMs, but i recommend you to look into this thread

[Maxfragg]

great, but remove the antennas, since they can be added ingame as childobjects (as done on most PR vehicles)

[cid228]

[R-CON]DankE SPB:
Thanks for the link, very useful !
I continually try to optimize the model polywise, i have a limit on 7000 tris given to me, and right now im at 4495 tris (without antennas!).
The cockpit will need a bunch more polys to give the driver(aka 'most important person in vessel') more detail.
I have also tried to give the texturer a bit of a easier job (..wich so far is not me, and to be honest I need alot of practise)

Maxfragg:
The antennas will be removed, using them right now as placeholders, just to get the right feel when modelling.

Made a few tweeks since last post, shortened the front railing above the doors a bit, widened and lowered the radar, moved back and reduced the size of the hatches above the driver´s seat.

Here are the wireframes, not showing all tris.
(The model is not aligned right, front is actually side and vice-versa, so dont bother telling me ! :roll

[The_MDexs]

nice im follow this project because PR need more boats

[Zeno]

i agree MDexs

im was wondering: there is a troop cabin right?

[cid228]

Yes, troop compartement is in place, can be seen on the wireframes, seats are the purple ones in the middle of the boat.

The boat has 18 seats for troops + 3 seats up front, Driver, Navigator and a fold up inbetween them for a machinist/gunner.

Heres one of the ref´s besides what I can remember ..


And heres a screen from within the model ..


Right now im optimizing and taking away a few polys that dont need to be in there !

[cid228]

Polycount (with antennas (..doh!))

[Zeno]

one thought that dropped into my head:

would it be possible to add another vehicle as a childobject but the childvehicle would be invissibe and would have 8 seats that would fit into the seats that were not used by the main vehicle. that way you would have 16 slots for soliders

here is a scetch for you:

[cid228]

I understand your thought ..and it would be nice if it worked.
Would have to be answered by a more experienced BF2-engine-wizard though, since i dont know anything really.

On a different matter ..One question popped up; Is there gonna be a problem with me working in 3Dsmax6 and not 9 ? (..other than it´s lame not to have the latest of everything!)

You have bene here long enough to know that does either need a code magician or its plain hardcoded Zeno

ey. it was just a thought!

here is a scetch for you:

sure this will maybe work but what is the sence of having the half team in 1 boat ???
around 40 lost tickets if they got a hit ?
why do you think the Chinook has only 8 seats ?

[Wilkinson]

1) Sadly there is no such thing as a 'childvehicle'.

2) Nice concept though but still wouldnt work.

3) Beautiful model

This is a reply to statement 3): Thanks ! Can't wait to get it ingame ! Right now im building a house !

[Zulnex]

Looks fantastic! Excellent work.
Can't wait to try it in game.
