Model requests!

I have a request for you modellers out there. Could you possibly make some tank gibs? as in bits of hull, wheels, things like that. Maybe we could use them when tanks are destroyed :D

 

:D maybe redo the buildings while you're at it?

owyeah finally got proof of the bigsmile forum bug

 

Strange, today at work, I was thinking exactly same thing, making tank gibs for destroyed tanks.
I going to make them client side so you can use on the currents servers.

 

i will try to do some stuff, but it will be hard to do a universal gib, for all the vehicles... for example it wont look good if the be apc has the same gibs like the nf heavy tank

 

Would it be possible to just take the models that are there already, and cut off everything you don't want? You can also use the same texture as the model itself (materials/NF/vehicles/ground) , Imperial for BE.

I think there should be different ones for BE and NF, but they should be reasonably similar within, to save on filesize. E.g. just have one tire for each, one set of tracks (ragdoll :D ), and about 5 different sized and shaped bits of metal, which I could fit together to make the rough shape of the tank Also, possibly some interior stuff as well

 

why is it that I explain a concept thoroughly, and then it has its own thread starting with 'I thought'...

 

XD
Sorry, but i didn't do anything wrong, try deleting your cache and see if it still happens.

 

This might help.

I'll do all the compiling if you want :D

 

:D no cashes here and it appears to be random.. one day I have it and next I don't..
meh
anyway ontopic now:
make it burning so it will actually look like a destroyed tank.. also maybe make the fire damage players so you have to watch out for exploding tanks?

 

There's a junk texture, for the gib models. It could be used on the cross-section sides of the pieces (or however that's supposed to be said).

 

Megel was already working on the effects for this.

wow that really does look like junk

 

That texture is rightfully crappy.

 

Megel said he would make them :D

 

I think it's pretty damn good.

 

I may need the assistance of someone who can unwrap things. Let me know if you can, so I know who to turn to if I get stuck :p

 

im good at unwrapping presents (you set this one upon yourself)

 

Thanks

 

I got dibs on animating the chunks if it comes down to using animations rather physics. :D

Also wouldnt it be rather easier to simply pull out chunks of the model's mesh itself and make them into the respected model pieces?

 

I can Model, Unrawp, Texture, Slice, Dice... all for a cost of... NOTHING!!! :p
