Progress so far

bigboywooly · 10-03-11, 09:29 AM

Very nice
Esp for a first mod
You have an eye for detail

U570 · 10-04-11, 06:20 PM

Thanks bigboywooly, that means a lot to me...

work on the 20mm Oerlikon Flak gun has been slow, but has yielded some results

and the total polys are up to 7780

This is looking really good. I've been trying to get started modelling, and have been trying to learn Wings3D, without much luck. Based on what you're doing I've downloaded GMax and taken a first look at it. It looks pretty cool.

If you want any tutorials or tips on it, just PM me, I know enough to start you off

Would anyone know what how to write the .sim .cam .dat .dsd .sns .val .eqp and .von files. I know how to open them, and save a file as one, but I don't know what is actually in them

Your best bet would be to use the S3D Editor. It's an amazing tool that allows you to view (and edit) many of the key in-game files. Full details can be found in the thread here:

Hope it helps and keep up the good work!

Hi mate,

Very nice work you are doing there seem like you like attention for details why not joining our team and put your skills in a dynamic and enthusiast environment that will make your content shine!

We pay in friendly words like woww , what a piece of art and have you see that model, this guy is a genius etc.

Check your pm mate and welcome aboard by the same time.

Best regards Hans

Hi all, sorry for the delay, but I was searching for the camouflage to make textures, when I stumbled on this:
http://support.caswellplating.com/in...ubmarine-plans

So seeing as this has more detail, I shall be re-modeling the entire thing. And to top it off, as some of you know, I have joined the U-Boot_HAHD 3d modeling team, so that will slow progress slightly.

================================================== ======================================
Edit: does anyone know how to convert .pdf's to .jpg?

U570 · 10-15-11, 02:00 AM

I've tried to put the new blueprints on in Gmax, use them as textures to go off on planes, anyway, they turn out like this.

and they should look like this

This happens to any bitmap, jpeg or just about any picture file I try. Does anyone know what is going on?

Kapitän Schneider · 10-15-11, 03:20 AM

You are in luck, i've had this problem with 3ds Max.

Click Customize at the top of your screen, then preferences, viewports, configure driver, and then tick "match bitmap size as closely as possible".

That should solve your problem.

soopaman2 · 10-15-11, 10:00 AM

Every time I read a thread like this I realize just how little I know...

And how grateful I am for the people that do know.

Very interesting as a laymen to see how it comes together.

10-15-11, 10:06 AM

Here's a link that should help you setup blueprints for GMax.
It's for 3Ds Max but it's the same deal.

http://www.the-blueprints.com/tutorials/3dmax/

For Max users? There is a Blueprints Manager script that is killer.

I tried that, and everything in the link privateer put up, and nothing has changed
