30mm? so a shell from warrior? whay not make it a 155mm or a 105mm

We're already over this, it is not a 30mm.

While waiting for feedback, I went ahead I thought about the tweak and con, etc. as far as explosion radius, force and damge. The values are radius-50, force-55, damage-4000. Compared to the regular IED: radius-20, force-25, damage-3000. Which translates to the Artillery Shell IED doing this in game:



The blued areas are what got destroyed and the red dot is the approximate location of the IED itself.

Look/sound good to you guys? Personally, I'm thinking I'm going to tone down the explosive radius, but heighten the force and damage. I'm figuring I'll heighten the force just so it feels like an explosion with a really big magnitude, and the damage just to even it out after lowering the radius.

That phone is a "ForceMobile" too, right. Also sweet round on Ramiel EOD(2nd time playing with you Keep us updated.

Yeah the tone could be turned down a bit, I found this video on youtube YouTube - 105mm direct fire, shows a 105mm Howitzer round exploding 650mm away(for reference) Look around :41 for the explosion.

Here's it again after some modification and the addition of a new explosion effect:
Explosion radius (same key as last time):




Here's the explosion from 99m away (don't mind the dying thing, I jumped out of my car):


How's that?

Looking good.

Actually, it uses a jdam explosion sound (just like regular IED).
I'll try to export the model sometime soon.

Success! All that's left now is to make a collision mesh and give it some animations (neither of which I know how to do yet).
There are a lot of pictures so I figured you could see it first thing and then get the full view with links so I wouldn't image spam.

looks like a big *****.

I can't comment on that comment. Anyone else?

Any way we can see a High res pic?

Sure, sorry, I do all my mod work in 600x800.

The phone textures need to be redone. Everything looks much to smooth IMO. I also think you should change the color of the shell to a dark OD green or something.

Good work on getting up to this stage, however.. your textures are a little lacking. Post up the texture sheets in jpg format and I'll give a couple bits of advice.

Maybe work on the texture a bit more. Something like this

Just a quick mock-up in photoshop.

Made that with some good custom brushes, if you want them add me to xfire "tuplas"

it doesn't seem like the shell is round enough after my opinion but it might just be me. but you should be able to load some more polygons onto it.

Cool work with the textures. I am a bit of a failure with Photoshop so pointers are definately welcome. I also totally agree that the shell should be darker, when I saw it in gane, especially high res, I was kind of disapointed.
Also, the shell is like a 10 sided polygon because you guys said to keep it low poly, but I could always up it to 15 for the high resolution one (I forget, is lod0 or lod1 high res.?)
Here's the texture I'm using, I posted a png (photobucket doesn't let you do tga) format; however, obviously, I use dds for the texture in game - DX5 and 13 mipmaps, and I use tga when I'm not saving in PSD. I also have various pieces and versions of the shell still in PSD format. The general progession is PSD --> TGA --> DDS.

As far as stuff I've done, I've just either done colors or used images from google. Then, I did film grain, rough strokes and some other Photoshop filters on different parts of the texture.

Thanks guys.
