WIP F-16A/B Cockpit
-
well as I said about the lod to 3ds max procedure the answer is in the hot list. search for: How to edit Falcon objects in 3DS Reverse From Falcon to 3DS…
Now I thought the SLDPRT comes in 3dsmax in correct measurement.
To use current dds with a new 3d model well kinda tricky, but your call.
As I understand it with the lod to 3ds max procedure u don’t loose any of the model detail mesh. Just they are small.
About scaling now… well in the past I had issues with the scale of models, they were coming in lodeditor small like the scaling was ignored. Maybe I was doing something wrong.
If it is the case then u can scale the model , export the model and import it in 3ds max again. -
Thanks Arty. I was so stupid, just didn’t realize the hot list was just a sticky thread ; )
What works for me now is that I can get BMS models into 3ds max, except the big LOD files (bigger than 2 MB) which crashes the LODto3ds converter. But that does not matter to me at the moment because I want the pit to be exported and not the F16 model itself. I also exported some of the aircraft LOD models which are smaller than 2MB and they are all the same wrong scale, but thats fine. If everything is scaled the same wrong scale it’ll work. I was hoping for a scale factor of *10 or something, but unfortuately no. Its some weird scale factor. Gonna investigate in it maybe too.
Alright, but to prove my concept, I need to know what LOD models the F16C pit is built from. Is there a list of LOD-IDs that need to be exported which create the full F16 pit?
And by the way the SLDPRT models come in 3ds max with correct measurement, as long as we consider that the for example the tub was modelled by someone, if I understand correctly, and not converted from some official CAD data.
So if I know what IDs have to be exported I will hopefully be able to reconstruct the pit, assuming that again, stuff is in wrong scale but still placed correctly in space.

Look in your \Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\Docs\Other Documentation\Database folder at the Cockpit_parents.xls file.

Thanks. I just had a quick look at the different objects the IDs brought to me , using the 3-D viewer function in LOD editor. Yeah I am just about to understand what I remembered from the “LOD to 3ds Max” thread, someone saying its like playing Lego. Definitely agreed.

Well considering that i am quite new to the 3ds (Blame me i started with blender instead of 3ds.), I’ll do what i think it’s better, And easy of course, But only if i get quality, about “To use current dds with a new 3d model well kinda tricky.” (idk if it was with darkman but that goes with me too.) i guess i’ll do new dds files so we can have something new, I saw that i got to “lowpoly” the sldprt files because they’re to high isn’t it?, Well, If everyone had a good computer i’ll do it like otsee theather truck alike cockpit and give a good 4k (or 6k, i think it can’t be of 4k iirc?) textures, but it aint like that because there’s a lot of people with normal pc’s.
Anyways, I gotta lot to do still. If anyone has a good tutorial that can help me, Feel free to place it here -
[UPDATE]
Atm project is not dead, It’s just that i don’t time for it.
Don’t worry when i finish my RL things, I’ll get back to it
But atleast, Got the tub completly armed up, I just need to model the panels and switches! -
Good to hear. So well from my side, the idea to modify the existing F16C cockpit seems to be busted. There is copyright issues that prohibit to modify it. Well thats all for me. You’re the lonesome rider now! But, like I said, I you need help in 3ds max feel free to let me know.

But atleast, Got the tub completly armed up, I just need to model the panels and switches!okay i didn’t explained at all what’s keeping me for continuing my progress,
1, Internet, My laggy crappy internet is a '98 128kbits connection (lol how do i manage to live xD?)
2,Sp1 windows 7 is good enough but i need sp1 for solidworks, downloading now but it’s gonna be few days of downloading, Switching to win 8 or 10 is no go for me
3, Realism, The manual for the mod it’s gonna be real f-16a manual so get crazy lads(idk if that’s a stopping point?)
4, My noobness with 3ds, it’s just aaargh to hard to me, gotta… gotta… watch some tutorials…
that’s all, yep that’s it, i really want to go to BAEL and see the f-16a from the fav, but it’s closed to public, so i’ll see what i can do, but i need good camera (wich i don’t have, Altough i got a 1080 camera but idk.) to make real life photos but hmmm let’s see, and yeah, tub finished, No photos atm, Top Secret darpa project thing, lol.after i install solidworks, I shall work on it :), BTW milviz’s been developing a f-16, idk, but i rather want a better f-16 p3d fsx, aerosoft it’s awfull but well, i got off the way.

Get crazy lads
BTW, I need more f-16 models page, You guys know any?

Looks very nice.

tried to append the model in lodeditor, assigned to the f-16a block 15, but when it comes to loading it just crashes, Doesn’t happen with other blocks.
info of the model:
Poly:31.000
verts:94.299
exported from blender into stl, then to lod from 3DS Max. -
Did u apply a material on the model? Just set the diffuse color to your like and apply it to the model.
Then export it.
And you might need to reduce the poly-tris count. I believe they are very high.

Στάλθηκε από το MI 5 μου χρησιμοποιώντας Tapatalkpoly count is good enough, the defualt pit has 38k i’ll try to add a material, btw ogllod is just kinda broken with me, it crashes when i try to open a 5mb+ file no matter wich one… Weird

I dont know if it was already around on this forum, but I found a full F16A manual online. How cool is that! https://info.publicintelligence.net/USAF-F16.pdf

exactly the one that i have! pretty cool tbh, It has tons of info of performance, etc
