An improved version could be created using the Bofors models that came with SH5.

If only someone could export it easily.

... one can find most SH5 models, including the guns, here:

http://p3dm.ru/index.php?do=files&op...unter&cstart=1

... but ...

all models are somewhat distorted and need fine tuning of the meshes. I recently re-worked one of the models for private purposes and that was no fun ...

I don't think I'll need to download them.

Pretty sure I still have exporter I wrote for SH5.


Besides.
SH5 does not have an Octal.

Now if one would want all the SH5 Guns 3D objects with the AO mapping?
I can pack them up and proved a link.

I had to do my own, comparable simple version ...

Not bad at all

Hi Jeff, I know textures are not your piece of cake. All I need for creating some decent diffuse, specular, ambient occlusion and normal maps, is some good pictures of the real thing and the 3D meshes that you need to be textured.
Creating them is my fun. Let me know if you need any

Same here: exporting any model from SH5's guns_radars_01.GR2 file, should be pretty easy for me. The latest versions of GR2 Editor/viewer doen't open that file, but I have saved on my HD one of the earliest versions which could open /export from it

Thanks for the offer Mate.
I have 90% of the texture work done. I just lost the one that finished the shield rivets for the MK 5.

There are 3 different versions of the 12 pdr that I have actually.
I'll get some screen grabs in S3D and post them up.

My pleasure Jeff, I Can't wait for your updates

Here's 2 versions.

The 3rd version has the wrap around shield. I just have not done the import work for it but the shield is done.

A 4th version could be done with no shield at all.
