Modelling Organisation
-
While I can’t promise anything (time is a precious commodity) if sources of information were made readily available it would increase the chances of this stuff getting done. A drop tank could be modelled in a few hours but it may take twice that length of time to find out the correct dimensions, collect reference photos etc.
Things that are useful:
Length, height, width, diameter, 3 view drawings, photos, details about what aircraft use the stores etc.

I have to say the time has come to make a post about a topic which has been mentioned several times. The inspiration came from this thread.
The topic is to get some manual about how sohuld be made 3D model and how they can converted into Falcon’s world. The time has come to have such a document… I know that modelers likely wish to work on models and not on manuals but there are lots of talanted professional modelers who wish to upgrade the 3D models of BMS4 but they do not know how can be imported stuff. I simply do not understand the resource management of developers. I know that makeing a step by step manual is very painful and time consuming, but it have to done only once. Just as an estimation let us assume that creating such a maunal what is needed requires the same ammount of work as creathing a 100% functional new aircraft. In this case one AC is sacrified for a manual. What is the result? N+1 modeler can make new additional 3D models, therefore investement - the time which was sacrificed - is quice quicly “repayed”.
I know two professional Hungarian modeler/skinner, VO101Tom and LESCO. You can see their skills. They made these with only some hour of work, they were made without PDS templates.
They are very skilled 3D modelers I have seen some of there reference. Of course aircraft are the most complex thing in Falcon but I have to say generally ground vehicles are far worse than AC.
They wish to help but do not know how should put their work into Falcon. In first step I reccommend to leard simplier things, such as ground vehicles or even more simplier things, drop tanks, missiles, rocketsEven the most complex SHORAD/AD or other vehicles has only “two DOF item”, their turrets. So if anyone explain in first step about how can be imported ground vehicles it can resulted that neglected vehices general quality can be much higher as currently. Existing LODs are many times 10+ year old, and there are so many garbage in DB which be replaced with another 3D model.

Roger. I’m on it.
As I promised, here is pack about red ordnance.
-
Any comments regarding the pack? It us usable?
-
Some of it was useful but as I said I don’t have a lot of time ATM.

First post updated.
Completed models have been removed from the list.
Looks like we need some momentum on blue ground forces.
Regards
Daveis this still current? looking for more up to date blufor ground models?
-
I have made a small update to blue force vehicles.
Yes, looking for more blue force vehicle updates.

Hi Dave,
I wish to work on one of the blue vehicles. Is the first post update correct as on today.

Yes, the blue (land) vehicle list is up to date.

Dave, is the aircraft list also up to date?

LSI dont think so… but I’ll let Wavey have the final answer

Some blue force air defences update would be nice. It’s getting really outdated……
-
So, if the list is current, you people need a MiG-19 for example, correct? I’m a 3DS Max user for over 10 years, so I think I could be of help

Hello Adonis, please MP me, I would be happy to guide you for your work!

Hi guys,
is possible someone make Alphajet to BMS?
Thanks very much.
Kind regards. -
Updated for 4.33 Release.

Hi Davey,
Please explain:
What happened to the 4K limit……???
Did we learn something new…LOL!!!
In any event…good work as alwaysCheer’s,
Dave
BTW what happened to the rest of your Carrier models…??? Concerned U can PM me on that point if U wish -

BTW what happened to the rest of your Carrier models…??? Concerned U can PM me on that point if U wishWe never posted a limit for ships. The carrier was based on do we get decent FPS at least the same as an airbase.
Not sure what other carrier models you mean.

DaveOhhhhhhhhhhhh Kaaaaay……LOL!!!
I’ll accept that, as I agree that the models in a task force should be treated just like features on an AB objective.
That was what I proposed and am utilizing in Guam. Now in 4.33 it seems we are obtaining better FPS with the Hi-Poly ships >40 it was around 30 ???
Have not drilled down to the why, but it is welcomed.Regards
