Vehicle Models already made -GO HERE-

Take a look at this site I found:

http://www.realdbstore.com

GREAT vehicle models of ALL types ready to go for a small fee. I know there are modellers on the PR team but time is money.

So, here is an option. Maybe we could all kick in some money to a paypal account and get some for the PR mod.

Meh, I have never really met a mod team that was ever willing to do that. And I personally would not recommend it, but you do what you have to do.

yea i dont think the devs would be interested no mod worth its salt would ever admit to purchasing models

Hmmm.. Okay. I wouldnt care. Didnt know it violated some sort of mod holy ground. But, as I said, I wouldnt care where the models came from. They just look awesome and would be fun to play in BF2.

I never really got into modelling for games, but I do CAD and there really is a great feeling of accomplishment when you do it yourself.

No need to pay for it when it can be made for free. As said above, its really about doin' it yourself, the feeling of accomplishment. Its all about the challenge and learning along the way that makes it all worth it. Our modelers here could are so talented they could do the same and sell them, but why? Giving your work to someone else just for cash wouldnt be too satisifing, IMO, but thats just me ....

Personally, I'd use them. Then again, I'm not a modeler, so grabbing whatever's already been made works for me.

I have no idea if our team would ever go that route, but thanks for pointing that site out nonetheless. Maybe there's something I can use for Pallyworld.

Thanks. I meant no offense to any of the great devs here. Just thought it would be a very cool resource to get some neat models in this cool mod; models that I would love to play.

Imagine if PR raised $1000 to get all those tanks in that one 3dMAx package then have them in BF2 done accurately with realistic ammo penetrations and ranges. Man! Where do I donate my $$??

one thing to remember is that the poly counts on models that cost $1000 would be astronomical, one tank alone would cause an entire server to lag

there is such a thing as to beautiful and too detailed in BF

Actually Beckwith, those models are specifically made for gaming.

I still agree with you.. which is the first thing I thought when I saw the title of this post. Even if the models are optimized for gaming, they aren't optimized for each game. For those that know nothing about 3d modelling, ask yourself why mod teams (like FH) have to "port" over their models from BFV to BF2.

Oh.. and I dont know what you guys are talking about.. but those models are near BF:1942 quality...

Look at an FH render then look at those renders.

Actually it's not the fact that they are "optimized" for gaming, its the fact that there poly count (wich is what really matters) is high. Also only older engines would not be a able to handle "higher" poly counts such as the bf1942 engine.

Also those models are not worth there price, total rip-off even so I do not think it is right to buy your models.
