WIP : C-17 Globemaster III
-
And I guess that to make skins later, mapping must be done on the 3D model (?)
Yes of course, I’m actually working on mapping
-
Firstdate, i can propose you to work on a skin, but since i am complete beginner this will be my frist skin from scratch. I do not have a timeline, it would be more a skin that would be realeased after people with more talent have done theirs.
If you want of course, it would be good training fro me.
-
Some corrections on the model, the fuselage has been reworked and optimized, still looking for a painter
-
I think it can benefit from 2-3k polys more…

If you need pictures, I can get some. I work on C-17s

Nop unfortunately, the challenge with 3d modeling in BMS is that you have to make it with a small number of triangles…
But of course i would like to have more triangles …

Yes of course ! please share it !
-
How many now?
-
Around 9700 triangles the limit is : 10000

From WaveyDave’s thread: Poly Count
Aircraft
For front line aircraft the upper limit is 30,000 triangles.

Used the C-17 (or at least I believe it was…) from RV4 in this old video.

Thx, I didn’t known that the C-17 was a front line aircraft…
-
Great Video, respect.

It absolutely is, along with C-5 Galaxy.

And - we voted YOU the (well deserved) winner of that competition…!
(Initially some dissent, but T-Rex and I lashed out with our well-oiled Falcon Politic until we characteristically steam-rolled you through…)
Ah… Misty…

Well,
The important point is the definition of a frontline aircraft.
If we consider that the C-17 is a frontline aircraft, I would simply request : what is a second line aircraft?
If somebody wants to make a KAI T-50,
as long it’s not a fighter aircraft but rather an advanced trainer with combat abilities, is it a second line aircraft?
While it has a F-16 style cockpit :
People would be more than happy to have this aircraft with 30.000 triangles, a choice that would moreover be relevant… But it’s not a frontline aircraft, obviously.
So, this simple comparison should make people react and cogitate about the very simple question : what do we expect for a frontline aircraft?
I guess, we should then clarify this first line category, to avoid any misunderstandings.
Best regards,

Good point Radium.
I thought that BMS’s “frontline” aircraft meant aircraft you would frequently run across in a mission, but it may mean key fighter/bombers.

If I come back to my KAI T-50, it’s not a key fighter or bomber…
But no one would do it 10K triangles but rather 30k.
Just my cogitation!

Hey guys,

Just my cogitation!
the important thing is: Someone would do it!
Cheers
Biker -
Think this would make an excellent aircraft to develop as a trainer for integration into BMS.
-
Well now, why we forgetting the F-5?
