[samogon100500]

Hello.
How,in PR we have US mortars only,cuz OPFOR and Unconventional R-DEVs no have models of this.One good man say me about would be nice make Russian mortar.How it's in W.I.P.




But i have big problem - I don't have any sources(Nosferaty send me some draw and pics but it's not so many).Every one,who have any High-res pictures,post this on this topic.

2B14 - GRAU codname.AK-74 on GRAU called 6P20,GP-30 - 6G21 etc.Also - Modern BM-37 also called 2B17

I haven't seen one with a bowl shaped base before. I was able to find a photo of one but am unable to determine if that was simply metal they set it on to make it look good. In the video referenced the base is definitely NOT bowl shaped.

Around 2:30 to 2:35 in the youtube video, it shows that there are spikes underneath the bowl shaped base, meaning it can be put firmly into place. Hope that helps.

Optics(Smooth groups not added)

[Nosferatu]

Looks promising, carry on

[samogon100500]

How they have 5282 tris.I don't know how many it's,but am see Motherdear shovel model - i think it's alright.
So Nosferatu check it.May be something needed/wrong?
Anyway - try to make less tris count on that model.

Edit:Am forget ask something - how to make lowpoly chain on the bipod.

[Wakain]

nice work btw samogon, I see you like modelling better than making skins

[samogon100500]

Yeah thats true

[samogon100500]

Am optimize some polygons,add smooth groups,and add some important elements.
So how 5236 tris.

P.S One of our clanmembers back from army.He served as mortar team commander.

And of course - Nosferatu check it.

[Nosferatu]

Oh I'll do.

[samogon100500]

UVs done.Going to optimize they.

[Rhino]

your doing the UVs now when you main model looks no where near finished? Haven't you learnt anything from your past projects?

Actually i no have any advice how.Actually - I got only 10 photos,1 small draw,1 video and 1 man who served as mortar team commander in Russian army.
Just I don't like to do nothing.Possible - optics may be can looks unrealistic,but i general - 90% of the model will be looks nice.
Model got 4632 tris.American mortar got ~3000tris,but my optics more detailed thats they got 1337 tris.

Drawing circles around wrong areas won't do good now, you need to work a lot on scope, I suggest to stick to this model right here:

TurboSquid - HD Gallery - Mortar 2B14 Podnos 82mm Collection - Product ID 540863

I hope other renders in that HD gallery would also be helpful. Don't feel yourself alone on the path to righteousness, reverend Rhino and me would be around.
