You can always stuff it with ammo, backpacks and all kind of things. ;)

no, it really aint that hard to learn how to do or do, there is no real reason why anyone who has been able to learn modelling can't UV, its just so time consuming and boring that most ppl opt out of doing it and try to get someone else to UV there model which ends up with making there model take much longer to finish or stops it dead in its tracks.

rhino is correct on this, i've never had a problem learning it, it's incredibly easy, just apply a material that can detect the stretching and uvw away, with time you do become a lot faster and your workflow becomes much better. but the best thing is to start off with a relatively easy project without to many weird angles etc just to get the feel down.

looking great. I doubt it's possible, but I'll throw the idea out there. Is it possible to scale down the entire interior so it fits inside the AAVP7A1, above the water level?

ehm rhino what was done with the small armored vehicle that the russian and chechnians got (both machinegun and rocket version, can't remember the name of the vehicle) but anyway it's able to swim and i've never seen water inside it even though it has an interiour. is the floating point just about the water level or was something done to make it possible ?

not sure that you know the answer, but if anyone can answer it or get the answer for it it would be you champ :P

I believe you're referring to the BRDM-2/Spandrel.

right MD on the interior front I've done a little research and it might be workable to get an interior in but not 100% on it yet.

So for now lets get the main model sorted out, when it comes to exporting it we can slap your current interior with a temp texture and basic UV etc and do some basic testing. If it works out then we can look into finishing off the interior and adding it in later since adding a 1p model is very easy for an exporter and the rest of the export dose not need to rely on what goes in the 1p model.

So for now, keep working on finishing off the UV etc for the 3p model then we can go from there :D

And for Muttrah, Jabal and every other USMC map that features an amphibious assault. LAVs should be only on maps where the Marines have already had enough time to bring them in via Helo or LCAC. Really looking forward to its use in PR. Keep up the good work, motherdear!
