1 project 3D for a beginner by Repman

@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 -

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 ?

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

@dema
Thank -
@repman
That looks better!If this would be my project, then I would even give
the air condition box more love. (as real as it gets)And would maybe add a few “labels” under the left antenna like in your RL pic, … even if the labels are “lowres” and we can’t read anything insim.
But yes, … looking good already!
Cheers,

Hi,
Thank you for your advice.
I will continue to improve my texture.
