I always wanted to model a wind turbine so here it is... My first model!
Now for the skin, i've no idea how to do skinning it
Damn that's sexy! Just look at them polygans, yeehaw!
looks pretty neat but extremely ineffecient in terms of polygon use specialy on the stair case
Well 613 polygons total.. not that much since this has to be pretty big, stairs only have 146 polygans but i'll see how it looks ingame with and whithout them.
I really need help on how to aplly the skin.. I mean unwrap uvw... Its here where I am lost
I decided to make the Viktor bomber for zero hour following the same style of ECA planes.. Started this 1h ago...
the main Fuselage looks good sofar.
Are you using a blue print to make it ?
If not i'd highly recommend it as it makes the whole process alot easier.
Not yet, but i'll probably have to use it for those problematic wings.
DAMN I cant install 3ds max... maybe it can run on 2 gb of ram? ahah can it?
Can I just use Gmax with renx ? whats the difference?
It can, 3ds max 7 or 8 is pretty old.. 3ds max has more stuff and makes skinning a lot simpler and easier..
I made the wing!
What would you guys make different?
EDIT: I think it's finished, not very happy with the part where the exhaust will be so I'll work on it.
Polygons: 976 (It still has some hidden faces so it will probably be around 900)
looks pretty good sofar altho you might want to mess around abit with those smooth groups.
Also 900 polygons is pretty good for a plane of that size.
I can't realy tell it just looks abit odd specialy around the edges of the wings and those intakes.
It kinda gives me the feeling i'm looking at an inflatable aircraft toy rather than an actual airplane
Perhaps a good skin will hide it or actually make it look good? Anyway I think I know what you were meaning, I think I fix it, but I am not sure... I'll post a Sketchfab link of it.
And I edited the fuselage for an easier skinning
https://skfb.ly/BpPR
that's a nice looking model, now i am expecting a textured version
I like it so far.
What you intend to do with it ? Something a la Scorpio,or only for personal use ?
A la scorpio? It is intended to be used for a campaign mission.
I have not decided yet what the role it will have in the mission... And i finally started making the skin
My very first skin actually (with some pieces of SWR work)
I am not very happy with the windows and the lines of the fuselage, but is kinda hard to replicate other people work.
That's looking good so far
Tone down the black on the green tinted windows though, implies some exaggerated depth. Keep at it good sir!
Looking good sofar.
I could send you a photoshop file of one of our own planes so you could examine it if you wish
Thanks for the feedback.
Then i would recommend getting photoshop CS2 (it is freeware now a days).
Its pretty much the industry standard when it comes to image manipulation and photo editing
An update if you don't mind, since I want this to be in ECA style as closest as posible.. So feel free to criticise (constructive ones pls)
The bulge under the wing tho, if that part somehow can be 'flatten' down a bit, would look great, texture wise, its neat, accept for the wing which somehow to blant? well that's my opinion
Try to get some more color on the wings, kinda like this
Have you given Photoshop CS2 a try yet ?
If you do/did i could send you a bunch of templates that woudl make replicating our style alot easier since you can look into how we made ours.
Not exactly cs2, I borrowed photoshop cs6 from a friend, so i'm exploring this one
Well, almost done, still need to apply some effects and finish the engines (and I already converted the projected into photoshop).
Now that's great, and for some reason
now to think about that camo pattern, I somehow can't pull that off,
I only manage to just splat on some stuff. Wonder how you guys manage to pull like 'connected' camo pattern, altho for fighter or any other small jets, its easier for the least, good job tho
when i compare the photo i provided and the work that you have done......it looks almost identical
Very nice work, this aircraft will be designed to some sort of mod?
^ hmm kinda lol... Looking to it now, I freaking hate those lines...
Something new...
I "borrowed" the concept of those boxes attached to the turret from Zeke edited MLRS model (hope he doesn't mind ), and also something from Chaparral made by The Hunter.
^ just be rigorous with yourself ..
This was my second attempt of skinning that plane... Which didn't end up as i wanted, soo i'm working on the the 3rd and hopefully final one lol
Great work!
Small update on that M270 MLRS
(yh, i'm bad at rendering )
^I really had not noticed the absence of a skin in the tank.
Here, basically everything was photoshopped from pieces of SWR and EA.. But there is something about it that I don't like.
Ortographic view? Wtf is that? I only rotate my perspective view in order to work better with the model.
And yh, I did check some mlrs from differents mods, and I liked the concept of the boxes on the turret of http://www.moddb.com/mods/zero-hour-reborn1/images/usa-mrls#imagebox and http://www.moddb.com/mods/command-conquer-tiberian-sun-redux/images/nod-mlrs#imagebox MLRS.. I did mention it, you will find it if you scroll up.
^ oh lol I knew there was something wrong.. Thanks for the quick explanation Zeke
(Be highly critical please)
Texture on the launch holes seems a tad blurry compared to the rest.
Also i would get rid of those 2 extruded bits infront of the cabbin it doesn't look exactly good imo (i know the chaparral has them but yea)
And finaly there is a rather big lack of contrast on the unit sofar (to much USA grey/silver and to little other colors that define its shapes and make it look interesting from a distance)
Something totally different, as I think that art can be done at the nivel of mapping as well

about that m270.....have you tried US Desert Camo yet?
or....how about regular camo?
yh, but that wont fit amongst the usa units.. But anyway, I managed to make it look better.
Maps look great. Especially the "populated" area. That's one thing that I simply cannot do well/don't have the patience for.
You're becoming quite the Jack of all Trades.
^ just to think that I started all this back in August of 2013 and only have a couple of months of experience, makes me regret not starting modding and stuff earlier.
Back to the M270, I think I fixed the issue of contraste... And I am not so sure about the skin on the turret, I have this model so ingrained in my head that I already don't know what looks good or looks bad

Oh stop, you are making awesome strides and I see potential. Most likely the skills you are acquiring now will carry over into the future.
And I didn't make my first map until then either. Just stick with it and DON'T do the things you're bad at. Comrade and I have shared a few maps that way we can both do what we are good at. Makes the map as an entirety better.
Got finally some spare free time
An heavy tank for the USA, based (a lot actually) on the M61A5 Semovente Tank.. I'll just call it Templar Tank
^ Yh true, but I am in trouble with it though... I think it doesnt fit amongst the USA units of ZH/ROTR, or the units in the game, no matter how I go around it, I cant tweak it without taken away the essense of the Semovente.
New thing, Panavia Tornado...
Edited model of the Cyclone made by Sargeant Rho, so big credits to him (also with some pieces of the Eurofighter of IPS). Gonna give this a similar skin of the Eurofighter.
EDIT 10/02: Progress...
I finally got to work on the Victor bomber, and I am pretty happy with it, it shares the same style as the vulcan as I wanted, not finished, but I like it
The wings are looking good
I would recommend you separate the layers front windows and the ones just behind.
The gradient effect will likely work better if you do that.
These are brilliant. You got some sweet talent there Oliver
Keep it up.
Also, I really wanna see that victor in game now lol
Loving the MLRS, i know its the most basic looking arty piece ever but theres something i love about it again great work!
If you don't mind I'd like to see you make a try of modelling an ECA-style JAS-39 Gripen multi-role fighter or an ECA-style A08 Archer self-propelled howitzer. Would love to have one as a wallpaper!
The MLRS still need a little more details on the launcher, and then its done..
Not sure about the A08 Archer self-propelled howitzer since I can't almost find no pics of it, and the JAS-39 Gripen, i could give it a try, but it would look way too similar to the Eurofighter.
Why you don't design fighter on your own,in ECA spirit of course? Like since ECA is into VTOLs they were like making new joint Euro multirole fighter,
but war broke up and only few prototypes were built,don't get me wrong,this is not some kind of request or something,I just liked your work,
and would love to see more of you,and we all love fighter jets so I got little carried away
If I may, I would find it very neat to see an ECA revival of the MBB Lampyridae/Firefly, a West German attempt at a stealth fighter from the 80s.
They were serious with that thing ? Guess that's how they imagined stealth aircraft back in the 80s,boxiest possible.
If you are taking requests a UH1Y Venom would be cool to see in place of the blackhawk with a 50 Cal on the side instead of a minigun. Dont mean to sound forceful btw was just an idea
Very unlikely, unless it is something really interesting.
well almost everything that I make from now on will be for ROTR, so no point posting stuff here when you have the finished thing as a render posted on thd updates of the mod forum.
Who is that pokemon?!
Looks like a Tiger tank to me.
Guys, it's obviously a T-34, what are you high on?
Found an old model of mine... Valiant bomber
ECA is getting tiger tanks confirmed.
When you take mapping to a whole other level ...

Map eyecandy is always appreciated
Still WIP...
Looks great! Im guessing this is for rotr?
Very good!!
I was waiting for a new version of this plane; if this model is dedicated to the ROTR, please just add a texture variant with the side lines in red (for other Gen Powers); a form of visual differentiation of the VDVs and other reinforcements.
Wow! Nice IL-76 you got there. Can't wait to see its final model.
Here's a model viewer of the Il-76 (WIP)
https://skfb.ly/PuCI
SU-35 (WIP)
And try to guess what this will be
Siege Chopper ?
Su-35 yes!! Been waiting for ages for this
Where and when will you release this? I'll be there
Trying to merge both of the Siege Chopper concepts into one, so that it fires the cannon from the front...
