[Vehicle] Boston Whaler (boat)

[Chanvlan]

Hey fellas i have been working on this over the weekend to hopefully, with some more work, replace the current INSG Rib, cause i highly doubt the insg hacing a high powered Rib at their disposal with a SAW on the front!

Chanvlan

NOTE: The PKM on the front is what i want to have on their when it is done in the editor, but i wont be doing that part someone else can, the frame for the gun was stolen from the current RIB and yes it is poking out of the bottm of the Whaler i know! and it also must be textured probly not by me also unless i bother to learn right now!


any comments would be lovely but please keep the flaming to a minimum!

[ice_killer]

and once more can you post a wireframe ?

[Chanvlan]

lolz how do i do that! ahahah

NVM i found it!

[Chanvlan]

i think thats the right one anyway is there anymore i need to post i might be off soon

Looks awesome. BF2 needs more boats. Sadly, I'm pretty sure the PKM is not a stationary type weapon in BF2 or PR, so either you'll need someone to make it for you or you could use one of the other stationary guns that already exists.

If you intend for this to be used by the insurgents then contact the DEVs and ask them if they want it. If so then ask them what can you do to make it better.

[Chanvlan]

ok yeh ill do that, and i think maybe just an RPK would do, cause its stationary, however a .50cal mounted on there could do some serious damage!

[SuperTimo]

also try not to triple post

[Chanvlan]

ahaha yeh soz the first two were intentional, but the last one was an accidental double post

is that it SuperTimo, no other ocmment

[agentscar]

^ Yea I agree with that.

Hey dude. Nice work on the boat. You've got the shape and proportions down good. If you want it to go in a game however, I have a few recommendations. Firstly try and make the steering console a bit more detailed. This is the bit the player will see most when driving it. Maybe a windshield, a throttle and some dials? Most Whalers I've seen have an outboard too, and this is easy to model.

Also I would include some bags on the floor of the boat at the side or some stowed fenders, and maybe a rim round the edge of the hull, like this picture:


If you dont want to do any of that, you can do a lot in the texturing, but adding a bit more detail would make the model stand out on its own more.....

[EOD_Security-2252]

Oh, that's the boat. I never knew they were called whalers.

I wouldn't wanna be the poor sod having to try catch whales on THAT!

[Chanvlan]

Got any reference pics?

IMO the gun & wheel need to be lower. Boats get unstable if you stand up.

Would also be good if you did one without the gun, for more variety.

Yeh im not going to put the gun in becasue apparently it can be done in the editor, so ill leave that to them, i just stuck it in their for size referencing. Also this boat can be stood up in it is hell stable.

Mescaldrav - Yeh thnx ill add a throtle and mabe a small dial or to, i am going to model a motor but it wont be the best, i might also just steal the bags out of the current RIB save me having to make them. I am going to add a fuel canister in the back as well. But unless i learn how to texture all of a sudden i dont think i will be doing that part.

Well if you got a .50 cal on it...

Good job, and a great idea to give the insurgents their own boat! keep it up!

[EOD_Security-2252]

I don't think it would be appropriate to put any of the 50 cal type weapons on this boat, they'd rock it to death.

[philnopatience]

for some reason it reminds me of Rambo

[Glimmerman]

Perhaps an idea is to model it after the Boghammar, its a swedish design speedboat but Iran uses it for patrol duty.
