My First Model

I have been working on this on and off for about a fortnight now.






Its meant to be an L37, as yet i havent put any sort of trigger mech on it. I am learning lots as i go along, and my next step is to make another one but 'slimmer'. Apprently i need it to be 4-8000 polys and i am on about 35k!!! Never mind

I will show you my new and improved one in a few weeks when i have gotten better at the process.

Looking good so far mate. Hurry up and get it ingame.

Lol, i should be so lucky, with 35k polys you'd need about 18 graphics cards

L26 APFSDS round, hopefully Joey and the other CR2 lads will recognise it.
Will try and skin it later




And L27.



And here's a box

Are you putting flowers in the box? it would look a lot nicer lol

I think i am starting to get the hang of this malarky now, this is a fin round i have been doing at different stages. The idea is i hope to end up with a finished round that is coloured and animated so when it flies out the gun all the petals fly off along with the driving band and the cup on the base. Leaving the dart to fly to the target

A very rough animation, i will try and get it right tomorrow if time permits.

Nice work Undies. I should really get back into mapping but cannot be hooped at the minute, maybe a bit of modelling (with my devilishly handsome looks) is the way forward.

Still comes apart when fired, bit i will refine the animation thingy. Now its got a bag charge too, and i am going to make a vent tube too

Bloody hell, you are going some.

Having never done any gunnery training at your level I guess that you get the basics of what happens when a round is fired. Are you trying to get your animations approved and used by Lulworth?

No i just wanted to do the whole thing with it ending being shot out the gun.

Back to the drawing board, i decided to make another gun now i have learned where the boolean tool is!! This is my WIP of an L22A2, on 1189 polys with SUSAT, pistol grip and gas parts to go. How can i change the background colour of these pics?

you should get this added to v8 as crewman kit works the same as A2 so it should just be a model change.

I hope you get that done for 0.8, great work mate, i think i need to sit down with you on TS one night so you can tell me how to do it, thats if you don't mind and you tell me what to download

Now with gas parts

Half a SUSAT and a pistol grip to go

Its already done for .8

oh bummer great pitty it`s not a ABA model though

i'm downloading the software now cos i want to give it ago, i have a few good ideas for the game, and there's no harm in having a bash at it, i.ll install it and see whats what and if you don't mind telling me the basics it would help please

Ok i installed it and lookeed at the tutorials but im still lost, when i click one one of the windows they turn black lol, am i doing something wrong or is that ment to happen, now i've asked for help twice, am i going to get an answer or is it work it out for your self coz i cant be f**ed to teach you?

Use the tutorials to make a few chess pieces, you learn a lot. Then make something simple like a box., honestly mate, it is similar to ComBAT, you need to just play with it

ok i'll give it ago

The pawn and the knight are the best ones. Then having just been in the same boat as you i would get ambitious, you will learn tons from overkill, that gimpy i did was 35,000 polys when it should have been 3.5k, i learnt a lot and the carbine is now on 3800 polys and its almost done

Did you get it working properly yet m8?
