1 project 3D for a beginner by Repman

<p>Sorry to derail the post but how do you obtain 3DMAX sw license and which version? For me it is waaaay too much money spent on early/monthly Aurtodesk access for my needs. Is it possible to buy some older version for substantionally reduced price? Or some student trial? To pirate is not my way.</p>

<p>@Mike_Bravo <br />Google for student version of 3DS MAX.<br /><br />Cheers, <br />LS</p>

<p>Hi, Lazystone,<br /><br />I misspoke.<br />I’m not stopping my modeling project for Falcon BMS.<br />I make my files available in case someone wants to use them or try…<br />I started another object so as not to lose my level on Blender and SP and especially my motivation.<br />I will come back to my integration problem after a pose, otherwise I will throw the computer out the window and my wife will not be happy…<br /></p><pre>

Hi all,I’m very happy.
I was finally able to finally see my model in Falcon !!!
Thank you for your support, Lazystone, DeeJay, Radium,…
Here is the result of my first model in Falcon. It flies a little above the ground, but I know how to correct that and besides I don’t care for the moment…</pre><p><br /><img class=“ql-image” src=“https://i.imgur.com/8WzU3QI.png” /><br /><br /><img class=“ql-image” src=“https://i.imgur.com/j3geqjr.png” /><br /><br /><img class=“ql-image” src=“https://i.imgur.com/UeyHlyY.png” /><br /><img class=“ql-image” src=“https://i.imgur.com/H0bG4fw.png” /><br /><br /></p> -
<p>@repman congratulations very good job</p>

<p>@repman congratulations !!! You can now start a full hi poly Il-76 now !</p>

<p><br />Hi,<br /><br />Thank you for your support.<br /><br />Now I would like to ask the team for their opinion on my model:<br />Are you satisfied with the current result?<br />If so, I’ll give you the files.<br />If not, tell me what I need to change, improve,… so that it corresponds to your criteria.<br /><br /></p>

<p>@repman <br /><br />Nice to see that you’ve solved the issues and your work can be seen insim now! <img src=“/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f44d.png?v=gcfd8gb1ch8” alt=“” class=“not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji–+1” /> <br /><br />There are still a couple of things to do until your model is fully ready.<br />- Adjust dimensions in your parent.dat to those fitting your model<br />see the script video I’ve posted earlier, and/or read about “Radius” and “BoundingBox” here<br /><a href=“https://benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?6009-3DS-Max-Exporters-for-BMS” target=“_blank”>https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?6009-3DS-Max-Exporters-for-BMS</a><br /><br />- lower LODs, … maybe just the main box of your model, with everything else removed.<br /><br />- damaged and destroyed models are needed for “Features”, please read again:<br /><a href=“https://benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?7220-Modelling-Organisation” target=“_blank”>https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?7220-Modelling-Organisation</a><br />Sadly I’m not into “Features” modelling, so I can’t add much here.<br />Maybe look at existing 3D models and textures to see how it’s done.<br /><br />- maybe add another 3D model to your texture, because one model only on a 2048² pixel<br />texture is a bit of waste.<br />Your latest WIP would fit nicely, I think.<br /><br /><br />- Optionally, … and for my personally taste, your model looks to clean (fresh painted)<br />so some weathering and dirt would be nice.<br />… maybe some overall weathering, and then additionally some “Bird-Dirt” on the top, and some<br />gently mud on the “Socket”, … will look like more used, standing there for a while already…<br /><br />Cheers, <br />LS</p>

@repman Please, don’t stop asking them and don’t stop working on your project.
I have to thank you for your attitud and perseverance. I have learned so much from this post.
I have made several 3D models for almost every flight sim out there, except for Falcon.
Question:
I can replace a 3D object, thats fine.
Can I create a new object and place it in Korea for example? End goal would be to create vehicle variants. A BTR variant for example. I would like it to keep the base functionality(shoot, move, etc), so I suspect I could clone the BTR, change the 3D model and reimport it to the game. Is that possible? I would be more than glad to touch the code myself, but I guess that is out of discussion lol -
@Malvinas_ARG
Hi,Thank you for the encouragements.
There I don’t know if you can take a model in Falcon, modify it and put it back.
In my opinion no, because we go through an export module in 3DSmax specific to Falcon bms, but you have to ask an expert from the team.
In addition it means that you have to find, modify and re-export the textures which are associated with the models (LOD0,1, …,destroyed).
Personally, I prefer to start from scratch. -
Hello,
I’m back after a long period without availability for 3D.
I now have time again to devote to 3D.1-I repositioned my model so that it is well on the ground.
2- I redid a texture by trying to recover data from the maps (Normal, OA, Roughness, Metallic).The result is still not great if we compare with that in Substance Painter.
I’ll keep trying to find the right settings…
Promised see you soon

Hi,
Here is a comparison with the reference image.
To help me, can you give a note to the model and tell me what needs to be improved:
1 - not good for falcon
2- almost good
3- just good
4- good
5- great
-
@repman any new or improved existing models are good for BMS, keep 'em coming
-
@repman
I can’t use notes but I can tell you what I see.On RL pic …
- I see an air condition box
- I see “transport holes” on top left and right
- I see small stuff left bottom
- I see some stuff below left antenna
- I see even left antenna is painted darker at the bottom
- right side has a white part, similar to the front
Why not add (paint) those small details ?

@lazystone
Hi,Thank you for your feedback.
I will add more details. -
Hi,
I improved my texture in Substance Painter, then merged the different maps and here is the result in Falcon bms 4.35 which serves as my test bench.
Do not hesitate to give me your opinion.
In Substance Painter
In GIMP
In Falcon Bms 4.35
-
My opinion is
it looks good to me
