Work in Progress thread, For showing things you're working on Options

[JdB]

Thought I'd create a thread for people that are working on something which isn't complete yet, or that they want feedback on.

The Ithaca 37 was the second model I ever made, I've redone it now for the third time (IIRC). I am playing with the idea of starting a small "self-defense" mod, as I loved the mission in Resistance where you just had the Kozlice to defend yourself. Nothing much, just a few hunting rifles and maybe a hand gun or two.

2196 polygons (still need to run it through for optimizing though).



I've decided not to post pictures on other large forums anymore, as alot of people are just plain rude.

[Toadball]

looks pretty sweet, what program you use? I'm still looking for a free and easy to use one that uses most common formats.
Trying out Blender3D at the moment and using SketchUp for Architechture style design plots etc etc.

IIRC I have a CStorm model on my HDD on the desktop at home which I may put some pictures up of it untextured.

Modified Trabant from OFP

Roof Rack with board and mast pieces added.




Done back when I had the time to spend on anything. was done for the Trabant Addon by "Kalashinikov Productions" and I think we all saw where that went.....(well those of us on OFP.info at the time)
Beta can be found...somewhere
Would love to do more modeling though.
note: I do not and cannot texture my PS/GIMP skills are so limited it ain't true.

[Bracken]

Both look really good. Keep up the great work. Sounds like an interesting mini mod JdB.

JynX,
Not sure but I think JdB uses 3ds Max.
I've have been using blender for a little while, and I think it's very good also.

Know what you mean about texturing, as I have given it a big go myself, yet still suck ..will keep trying though

/OT* Just had a quick look (atleast as quick as photography allows) over your D-art page and it is very impressive (imo). Some amazing skyscapes you got there makes me want to go over to UK. I'm using a D70s at the moment also (all ways used film so its my first digital), need to get some better lenses though. Kinda ran out of money so hopefully I can get enough soon OT/

(Edit: Opps hope I was allowed to post in here without showing work)

[JdB]

Not sure but I think JdB uses 3ds Max.
I've have been using blender for a little while, and I think it's very good also.

Correct

I tried Blender, but didn't quite like the interface, too messy (though that is more likely due to using MAX for more than 2,5 years now)

And yes, you're allowed to post here without showing work as long as the content of the post is on-topic.

Meanwhile, if people have some suggestions for hunting rifles, please post them and I'll consider the options. I've planned the Ithaca and Kozlice for now as well as the Colt 44 (maybe the 357 instead).

[Blackbuck]

Define a hunting rifle. Thats a rather sweeping term. I like the Mauser 98 Magnum and some of the remmy 700s.

[JdB]

Define a hunting rifle.

A rifle used for hunting

Preferably rifles pretty much exclusive to hunting, instead of military rifles.

[Blackbuck]

Ok then. Sako 75 without a doubt or a Tikka T3. Can't beat the Finns at dedicated hunting rifles!

[Bracken]

Hehe well I don't know WTF these are, but any of these at all usable?
All as I know is that the bottom one may be pre-1950 russian made.
Probably nothing like what you are after, but if you think they are worth the effort, I can take better blueprint type shots with the silencers off and bolts in.. or whatever.
Ohh and the top ones a slug gun (I know wierd to have it scoped), it's used to hut birds eating fruit so... ?
http://img45.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc0058jc3.jpg
These are just idea's though probably not the kind of powered rifles you are after.

[JdB]

That is exactly what I'm looking for!

Thanks, are they yours? what caliber are they?

[Bracken]

Pretty much yes, I got them when my dad died afew years ago, which is the reason why I have no clue on their orgin.

Which ones/one do you want and do you want the silences in the picture(they were added 3 years ago).
They are 0.22s and I have like 10 boxes of Winchester subsonic cartridges which I use them for rabbit hunting (and to finish the odd sheep off). So I hope that is big enough prey for what your mod is about

[JdB]

Mostly the top and bottom one, but especially the bottom one. I do want to make one with a silencer, but it's easy enough to make a non-silenced version as well, as I image the bores have no muzzlebreaks like a modern military AR does.

I'm currently mapping the Ithaca. After that I will bugger Linker Split for help on the normal mapping

[Bracken]

Sure no problem, I will take them tonight. But yeah, if you find something better or don't get the time down the road its no trouble. Even found abit about them in the process

If anyone is interested, by the markings on the USSR one (bottom) I googled it and got this
http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=171848
(T03-17 made in ussr) But I know it was atleast before 1955.

And the scope on the slug gun matches the one from earlier 60s on this site
http://www.nikkostirling.com/
(Nikko Stirling TIARA 4x28) made in japan
Not sure about the gun itself as all I can make out is
BSA GUNS LTD ENGLAND 177 CAL


Edit:
Didn't have much time so they are pretty poor, but here is afew that may be ok (don't think they are good enough for blue prints though)

But maybe you should use better blueprinted ones from other sources like JynX suggested, either way best of luck with the project. If you do end up using the above and need afew better shots, let me know and I will try get them but if not its no worries as I probably needed photos, for when I get house and contents insurance (if ever )

JynX, yeah New Zealands camera market is abit behind i would expect, this was about as best I could get.

Edit:No problem, like I said, they are usable for me for other purposes also.

[Toadball]

good place for blue prints i've been using: http://www.the-blueprints.com/

plenty of old rifles in there.
If some one made a detailed version of the one from Bresseb's tutorial hosted on the OFP.info site that'd be grand! Think it's the Browning Stalker or something like that.

I'll be picking up my O2 files when i'm at me house later today so that with my OFP files will allow me to do better and more stuff, i preffer O2 to most proper things lol

OT:@Bracken: thanks most of those weren't taken in the UK i'd say almost 80% were France or Tenirefe but some of the ones which hold the same horizon were taken from my old house. D70s are good but didn't think Nikon were still manufacturing them anymore, haven't seen one aside from my own since i got it.

[JdB]

Got the Ithaca mapped!



Thanks for the pics Bracken!

[JdB]

Finally began texturing the Ithaca, doing the diffuse map first (the thing I'm actually relatively good at in contrast to normal mapping...):



Will probably make a separate thread once I get the first weapon finished.

[JdB]

Continued working on the diffuse map:

[Toadball]

looking cool, one assumes the CStorm (Barreta I think it is) is as in OFP to small to be brought into the game properly, was considered redoing a model i made of it.

Also working on a set of fictional Revolver models such as the one in OFP for some one to texture and port to the game if they so wish

will post pics when i get stuff worth posting pics of

[JdB]

I did a model of the CStorm as well a long time ago, funny weapon. EDIT: never mind, issue resolved, but thanks for reading anyway. Solution: always use a background, no matter what color, it won't affect the normal map, as long as you don't process it with the Normalmap filter

I am having some problems with the normal mapped effects, they work, however not the way I want them to. Nothing says it better than a picture:

As you can see, there is a box shaped edge around the drawing, which isn't supposed to be there (the only thing on the normal map are two such (two sides of the weapon) identical drawings, no background what so ever), the diffuse map of 1024X1024 is a separate file (same mapping as the diffuse map). The boxes around them just appear after using the Nvidia Normalmap filter, so I am assuming they're causing it, what can I do to prevent this? Use some sort of background color? Please help...





Just a note: The white lines are my way of keeping track what I'm doing (darkness on black would be too hard to see when working).

[Toadball]

looking nice! you do all these textures yourself?

[Valhalian]

Im really curious how will shotguns work in ArmA. In OFP they werent very effective as the shot was actaully a few shots strafing in a line from top to bottom. I hope that in ArmA you can make the shots spread out in all directions...
Btw very nice work JdB and Jynx, that Trabi is just a marvel

[JdB]

looking nice! you do all these textures yourself?

Yes, although I did use an overlay texture for the woodgrain (wrote a tutorial about that a while ago).

This is the first time I'm doing normal mapping and specular mapping, so I hope I didn't do too many things wrong...

Shotguns probably won't work right in ArmA from what I've read, so all "shotguns" (hunting rifles also use buckshot) will use slugs like regular bullets, but more inaccurate at range.

While looking through my archive, I also managed to dig up [this pic] of my first Ithaca 37, dated Wednesday May 18th 2005 XD

[Toadball]

Google Sketchup design of garage model interior and doors and some extra details will be refined in O2, will release an untextured p3d when the time comes for porting between OFP + ArmA if people want to do so.
Will be open to modify without permission so long as I'm credited with initial design etc.

Also the little man won't be included, use it as a reference for size etc.











Edit: pics 8 + 9 size halfed to meet forum rules.

[Bracken]

Hmm well I don't have much knowledge on the subject, but my guess would be that possibly the normal maps "middle" colour is abit more torwards the elevated colour (blue if I remember correctly).... but thats just a wild guess and it wouldn't explain why its only on the edges..

I agree with Jynx though, the detail is very impressive (good picture of hunting dog also).

I have never used scretch up JynX, but I read about it on the BIS forums, that people seemed to suggest that its not possible to export models from it. I read this about 4 months ago though, so maybe its a different version/method... looks good though. Maybe you should have a quick look to check that its possible just incase its not.

Here is what I have been working on in my spare time for a week or two, everything is very basic and I have alot to modeling/unwrap/texturing to do and none of it is normal mapped yet. I'm still learning how to match seams up correctly and kinda failed abit but I will go back later and try improve it where I can.

I have keeped the middle empty so I can first sort out how AI paths around it, because thats the most important thing as I am making it around a mission I have planned.

A problem I'm having though, is that the brick tiles in the centre.. when they mipmap they get a white seam around them. But when up close they are fine and the white disappears as you get closer. I have tried re-unwrapping them but it still seems to happen, so not sure whats going on there.



I have split it into 8 bits because of armas 64x64 geo limit, plus the part at the front for a light house, however it all uses the same 2048x2048 texture so its abit repetitive but am not to worried as its just suppose to be a something to learn abit more with. Parts are also abit out of scale as I just made things up as I went after I got the idea from Sevens OPEC template (which the AI couldn't move on). However if anyone has any suggestions, I will see what I can do.

All textures I got from http://mayang.com/textures/
and just made them tileable, so alot of credit goes to them.

[Toadball]

Looks pretty cool will probably look better under ingame conditions etc. but yeah.

Yes, SketchUp models can only be exported as 3ds or p3d if you use the pro version (hah not likely to happen here) so i design the building in sketch up and use the line diagrams as a blue print to build the final thing in O2 from scratch. Add more detail while I go along.

[Deadeye]

Lookinh excellent folks Is working with sketch up really a s easy as I've heard?

[Toadball]

if your doing it for design or just for fun yes, its like MSPaint but in 3d i've been tempted to upgrade to the full one just for the p3d portability but i've heard theres still issues regarding the number of polys etc.

Current WIP building list:
Garages
Sheds
Fictional civic building based of the Glasgow University Mcmillan "Round" Reading Room
Block of Flats (based of of the residences i stay in and some from refrence images)

basicly material that is open for use in the european maps that are hopefully to come. hint hint big fat hint

[DaRat]

Yeah, sketchup is great for buildings, not so great for other things. I'm not sure having the pro version is the only way to get models into O2 - I've made a model and got it in game once (via O2). There's a topic about it on the BI Forums.

EDIT: Ok, well it appears I must have been using the pro trial version Source

[Toadball]

a friends of the pro version is (albeit slowly) making its way onto my PC will report back, well at this rate some time tomorrow with the results of any porting attempts i make

The p3d file format as used by BIS is different from the standard p3d, it's easier to convert to 3ds and import that into O2 (or you just import it into MAX, map it in that (very easy) and make the lods, or even better yet, do it from scratch ). After that you only need to export it to O2, finetune it, make some selections and you're done.

[Toadball]

Pro version exports as 3ds as well but yeah, downloading Gmax would take almost as long, will get this bit done eep work in a few mins

[JdB]

Pro version exports as 3ds as well but yeah, downloading Gmax would take almost as long, will get this bit done eep work in a few mins

GMAX is no longer available anyway, it was discontinued

Also it had pretty much the same functionality as O2, very little since most of the useful function were removed.

*Thanks Marcel for getting him to use MAX *

[Toadball]

MAX as in 3ds? I may have an installer lurking on my EHDD somewhere though i found a few promising links today in my excos lecture for it...

[Toadball]

import to O2 for OFP was a pain in the arse, only shows the model in the 3d viewport, granted thats because its been moved right of the grid. model would need refining a huge amount due to how the model has been constructed as a 3ds.

Summary if you have the time (i dont at the moment) and patience (not really been up for 5 hours and still not had coffee) give it a whirl.

[Linker Split]

I'm making the High Definition Tropic Island:



Sat and mask are my PS work

it's gonna be 5120x5120 pxels... terrain resolution: 10mx10m (so 1px X 1m)

[JdB]

Latest and last pictures of my Ithaca, with normal and specular maps (not finished though), last since I haven't got time for it anymore due to other mod work.

[Toadball]

nice as always JdB,
just started work on a weapon pack for OFP which will be ported to ArmA and was wondering, how the hell do you model good ironsights on the guns with only basic reference images.

real life weapons im modifying for the mod:
Yati Matik
IMI Negev Commando
AR-7
Galatz
Galil
IMI Micro glilon
IMI magal

possible some others, all will be fictionalized as such.

[JdB]

nice as always JdB,
just started work on a weapon pack for OFP which will be ported to ArmA and was wondering, how the hell do you model good ironsights on the guns with only basic reference images.

Well, you basically model the parts to look as much as possible like the ones that are on the real weapon, and if done correctly, you should end up with the proper ironsight view. This does (quite often imo) however need some tweaking to look right. You don't need to have pictures taken from ironsight view to end up with a correct ironsight, although of course it does help.

[MrRee]

not officially announcing my work as a possible release since i only seem to have 6 hours free time lately, bloody work, but i couldnt resist ArmA modding, so thought posting here was better than a new thread,

anyway i have just started doing some AAR aircraft for ArmA.

VC-10K4


Rebuild of KC-10A

not much difference from my original, engines and fuselage are higher res

[Deadeye]

Good to see you again Ree The plane looks pretty nice

[Red Square Monkey]

Yeah, good to see you're giving it another chance, MrRee.

[Benoist]

First thing that I make with O2
I will try to make to the texture of the sign modifiable, by init you can put your own texture.

[Rellikki]

What is it?

[Benoist]

Shame on you =(

It's a sign! A road poster.
Oh f*ck, I forgot about the LODs... Do I have to do all again?

EDIT: Well, here i'm, 4 AM, half pissed and tired of inserting the f*cking lods, well, now the Quarter Million Dollar Question! How much the sign should weight?

[Toadball]

Google is your friend...

or not...

I dunno, i'd say: Heavy but not as heavy as a house? looking good tough

What FPS do you get then? and what are your settings etc.

[Rellikki]

Looking good Linker. I hope you won't add wind deflection to it though... I think it's kinda useless feature on ArmA vegetation, since you can hardly even see it moving and as far as I know, it eats perfomance a lot.

[Linker Split]

I'll answer your questions:

@helping hand:
my settings with which I play are:
Draw to 900, all settings high except Postprocessing effect to low and antialisasing on disabled.
My PC is a pentium IV, 1Gb RAM, sapphire x1550 DDR2 512Mb (it's not an high-end PC)
FPS: from 17 to 45. They could be still a few, but remember that my PC is not very good...

@Rellikki
I added wind to the grass, cause it makes the jungle more wild... i added 2 different types of grass which had a different wind effect (one set to 0.3, the other set to 0.7).
Now I've added also trees and palms (which I made) and I'll let you see the results.

[Rellikki]

Too bad. I hope it doesn't drop FPS too much...
What's the unit in the last picture?

[Linker Split]

Too bad. I hope it doesn't drop FPS too much...
What's the unit in the last picture?

It's a simple pilot
Anyway, I'll make also the island without wind affecting the grass, Ok?

[Blackbuck]

Well if you get those FPS it shouldn't do much damage to me either then

[Linker Split]

this is a little feature you'll encounter in my island...
(i'm not referring to the chainsaw)

personally, I prefer addons made by someone, that only, a modification of the addons BIS. And Vilas stuff are not really accurate.

@linker, that seems really nice. I would add, however, a little contrast. I mean for the green colour.

for the video. you are a killllllllllllllllllllllllller. you are not an ecologist

btw well down. is it possible to make some other destruction models?

[SaS TrooP]

Linky, but have the grass must be so big? If there is small bug AI will see you passing the grass and kill you. Thats unrealistic! And of course finding laying enemy on is those grasses is madness!

[Linker Split]

@linker, that seems really nice. I would add, however, a little contrast. I mean for the green colour.

for the video. you are a killllllllllllllllllllllllller. you are not an ecologist

of course it's possible, then you make the animation, configure it and that's all folks!

@SaS TrooP
sorry, I added tall grass to add a more jungle feeling...

[SaS TrooP]

OMG< but its stupid to make all units staying just for the grass...
It really looks awesome, but I am a bit worried about it...

[Linker Split]

Also SaS TrooP, in ArmA now grass just flats when a unit go to prone position

[SaS TrooP]

But it flats only on your possition. If enemy is e.g. 50 from you he wouldnt see you anyway and you, too...

[Toadball]

Nice shots Linker, looking forward to the release, only 12 or 13 days before I can expect to have a PC that can play well enough (also personally in games i've rarely had an FPS above 15-35 while in a decent bit of a fight and the gamed [OFP] always seemed to be playable for me)

[wipman]

Hi, i hardly can't await for the day to put my hands on that Über pimp SU-30Mk
by Scars, was one of the latest addon planes that i tryed in the OFP and damn i miss
it alot. May be pimp to release it with a mini campaign, some single player missions or
just with a few multyplayer missions. It's again one of the best addons that i ever seen.

[Marccom]

Hi,


i just wanne tell you that i just startedmy first project.

I am gonna to make an Terminator T800 for ArmA.

Base are the Terminator models of two amazing guys...Tobor aka James Murphy and a very nice guy from Poland...Marek Paterczyk. Both made amazing Terminator models.
See Mareks Homepage for unbelievable stuff...he worked over one year on his T-800 model http://www.marek-paterczyk.waw.pl

I used parts of both models two get my own one with low resolution. Now Iam 36hours without sleep. Read every Tutoriols how to get a model in Arma and how to use all the tools and played through the standalone unit tutorial on http://www.aos.armaholic.eu/tutorial3.html.

After that I started to work on my own Terminator. The both amazing models cannot be easily used because the quality of both models is much to high and mareks one is also highly defined and full animated. No chance for easy use in Oxygen. First tryings were a model of James body and mareks head...were over 100.000 verts and faces.

Now I worked on every single part of its own. Actually we have something like 24.000 verts and faces and oxygen handels the model in souverain manner. Still some problems and a lot of work before

But here is a first pic of T800 in Oxygen:





If someone wanna help me or for smalltalk you get me at msmarccom@aol.com

Now is time for a little bit sleeping

[D@V£]

Wow... that's a nice model! I can't wait to see it ingame!

Does it have any textures yet? A screenie in buldozer would be a lot better IMO

[Marccom]

Hi, thanks.

No there are no textures yet and bulldozer doesnt work. have still some problems with the mapping.
I think its a hard way still we ll see this guy in game.

[Benoist]

The problem is that there is no animation for having (and shooting) the weapon from the hip, like our lovely T-800 did (or are going to ) in T1&T2

[Marccom]

The problem is that there is no animation for having (and shooting) the weapon from the hip, like our lovely T-800 did (or are going to ) in T1&T2

if this were my only problem, then i was quite happy

[Marccom]

Ok.

there are some problems with bulldozer. Get problems with the map. Oxygen cant calculate a complete mapping
when I use "check faces" it only calculate the faces of the body not the head. When i select all parts he shows me points and faces of the complete model.

I use the us_soldier.rvmat with my own textures and made all changes and updates. Oxygen dont find failures so far.
When I start Bulldozer it is calculating without errors and you can see how it puts the complete model in the scene but shortly after that it shows failure text:

"Cannot create system memory surface DXT1,378x256 (size 65536 Error Code 8876086c"

Maybe it is only the texture file (wrong resolution/size)...will check that. But cause of the facing/mapping problems I decide to make two further T800.
One with Tobors model as base and one with Mareks.

At the end we will see which one makes less problems.

Anyone know where I could get a hold of some reference images of the TOZ 194 Shotgun, got one or two which are doing ok, but the more the better so i can see if there are any custom builds of it.

Anyone know where I could get a hold of some reference images of the TOZ 194 Shotgun, got one or two which are doing ok, but the more the better so i can see if there are any custom builds of it.

When even the manufacturer's site has squat...

All I could find that Google didn't list already is the weapon's [manual], however manuals are notorious for having very few (good) pictures...

I didn't find any after-market parts for it, I doubt any military is using it, so the interest for it is minimal.

[Toadball]

thanks, typical of me to like things that sod all anyone else is interested in, will get some pics of the barrel end of the model once its semi ready

[MrRee]

VC-10 progress slow very very slow but still progress.

A Little Personal Conversion of [TES] PzGrenHG's UH1-Y


I've got some problems with Rotor's and Glass. If anyone is willing to help, that would be most appreciated! It flies, and weapons fire (i.e shoots FFAR's from FFAR pod etc). Decided to port it as I got ArmA2 fever
I just need help with a bit of configging to fix those bloody rotors and glass... I can do the textures etc later. Also, the displayname "USMC Air"; isn't showing up either.. Plus one variant isn't displaying either... Here's my basic config - Any little changes that may fix things will be ultra helpful! (I've added in the transparent glass from JdB's post a few posts down into the folder, so if it can be an easy config fix like glass; \hueys\glass.paa or something, then please do so)

Sorry, smaller image added. Thanks JdB. Any comments in regard to the model? You know any config language

Well it's hard to say at this point. From a first glance, the model looks detailed enough for use in ArmA. The textures don't look half bad, although they still need some work. As for the glass, I think [this tutorial by oBmaR] will help you.

I don't know much about configs, I can barely get my stuff ingame as it is

Sweet Jesus! That will work perfectly! Thankyou very much!
EDIT: Shouldn't it just be an easy fix in config files?? CONFIG POSTED IN ORIGINAL POST...

[Blackbuck]

My Masada lives again although still heavily WIP >_>



Still quite a lot of work to do with it...

[Toadball]

Some WIP shots of the TOZ-194 I'm working on, things to still be done:
Shell holder and rear sights, the pistol grip needs some work and I'm looking for some one to texture it as I
am god awful in PS/GIMP




I may do a folding stock version depends how this works out...or alternatively I could do a regular shot gun people have heard of

[JdB]

Shell holder and rear sights, the pistol grip needs some work and I'm looking for some one to texture it as I
am god awful in PS/GIMP

Rather important hint: learn how to map and texture your own models, because the chances of someone doing it for you are very slim indeed, as I have found out all too often

"Cannot do" does not exist, "cannot be bothered to do/learn" does If you don't succeed, you either haven't got enough experience, or you're not trying hard enough.
