fidel_ Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 Here's amazing high-poly APC. Textures are from this site: http://www.vb3d.com/Textures.html Polycount 58. I uploaded it in the project ftp in 3ds. format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breunor Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 Would you be interested in doing some low poly automobiles? I'm not sure where an APC would be seen, it would be some pretty dumb aliens that do a terror site at a military base! The model looks nice though, and having another site for textures rocks!

fidel_ Posted February 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 That would be no problem, I just need few pics taken from cars so I can use them as textures. Anybody want to have their car modeled? I guess I can always do a google image search for a car and see what turns up. I read from some thread that there might be a scenario in terror site where the local military/police forces would have tried to solve the situation themselves. Of course, when you would arrive at the terror site you would see wasted equipment and dead bodies everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl. Facehugger Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 That seems to be V1+ unfourtnately. Too bad, it would really increase the atmosphere. Besides, the aliens would want to do a terror site at a military base to help eliminate Earth's military opposition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breunor Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 I was looking for some auto pics as well, we can always use plenty of cars. I'm setting my own poly limit to 500 to start, and see what things look like using that. Might seem low, maybe it will be. But I made a yf-23 model using just 160 polys once, and have seen several car models online at 250 that weren't too bad. I think the textures just need to include the body panel lines and basic things like tire hubs. I'm not going to make the windows transparent, so the insides can be ignored. If we decide to get that detailed we can easily change it later. I'm working on a Ford Syclone pickup truck right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breunor Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 http://www.suurland.com/ has tons of car profiles and layouts that we can use to make properly-scaled cars. There might also be decent pictures there we could turn into textures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deimos Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 The blueprints are very useful Just split them into three views and load each one into a viewport and model away. I'm gonna have a play some of them, Thanks Breu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breunor Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Yeah, those blueprints are handy, you get great scale with them. I started the GMC Syclone pickup, but I don't really like it yet, and my haphazard attention span latched onto a Chevy Camaro, so now I'm working on both. The truck with get more detail, and I need better refence pics for the nose and tail of the camaro yet, but with BOTH of these guys in the scene the poly count was 512. I think I can spare some more... btw, the truck has a cap on the bed, that's why it's solid like that. I'm thinking I'm going to remove it though, or make the full bed and then toss the cap back on for variety. Obviously the truck's grill area needs more work. I'm still partial to leaving the glass opaque, it might look nice to see inside the cars, but it's that much more texture memory being eaten up, when it could be used someplace else...

Breunor Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 GMC Syclone, 472 polys: inserted bed and inside wheel wells, added a little more detail by the head lights. I think a basic interior is needed, the glass currently is a reflective sphere map which looks weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitewashed Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Can we blow those up in the battlescape? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl. Facehugger Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Of course! Where would we be if we couldn't blow up cars like we blew up gas stations in the original? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breunor Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Yes to blowing up, I think they wouldn't be quite as explosive as the gas pumps were (these aren't Ford Pintos), but depending on how much damage is done to it I think an explosion and/or fire would be nice.

Breunor Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Camaro is done, only 384 polys here. Sorry about the lousy screenshot, it didn't convert well from bmp to jpg. I've loaded the Syclone and Camaro into the web viewer, they're under 'Other Models', 'automobiles'. The truck needs a better texture and the car doesn't even have one, so if anybody is interested feel free to contact me about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red knight Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 You wont put those names in the game... It just looks like a Camaro GreetingsRed Knight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breunor Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 Yes, the GMC on the truck needs to come off, I figured it would be part of making a real texture for it. Yeah Drewid, it's not so bad when following some pics, that camaro is a combination of several versions from the 1960's, but I liked most of them from that decade, and the nose from the 70's IMO was just as good. I think I'll start playing with an SUV next, I'm going to morph the pickup into one and see how that works. Then maybe I'll make my car, a pathetic little wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breunor Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 we could stick in some upside-down SUVsOuch! You think Firestone would be looking at those tires for any tread seperation? BTW, if others start working on cars, post here with which ones so we can make sure we are working on distinctly different cars, OK? If we all show up with different models of BMW, that will look weird in the game. This will help us get the most bang for our buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breunor Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 (edited) Here's the latest car, it's a Ford Focus ZX5 IIRC. 410 polys or so, with a "halfway there" texture, screenshots taken from Ford's website flash animation. I made the windows a little transparent, probably would either remove transparency or put a few polys inside to conceal the hollow inside. The texture's not there, I plan to go back to the flash page and get screen grabs at the different angles, and paste together the various parts so it's clear all around. Only the top and hood don't show decent angles. EDIT: btw, the camaro, truck, and focus models are found at www.projectxenocide.com/artassets/models/ each is in ms3d format in there.

Breunor Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 Coolio, what do you think about adding a few faces in the wheel wells, so it looks more solid? Does naybody think that's necessary? I've only been adding enough so you can't see a gap from the isometric view, typically 48 extra faces total on the model.
