Yes you are right- But it is still an examble

Both the F-15 and the Su-27 look amazing on those pics. Hope you guys can sort the problems and get hose planes added into BMS! Thanks a lot!!

Well,
I think there are two different ways. My Intention is not to push any model into 4.33. The BMS Team make this sim better every year. And they uses diffent models which are Close to their philosophy. My way is to create my own models and share it as mod.
And that is very important- if I make a model I wont view about the BMS way. I try some things, work with them in TE`s or Campaigns. When it works- I used it. When someone will try it too- why not. That is the reason why I share my work. I dont like high Resolution pics with models and after that there is simply no result for the commuity. I saw so many diffent Projects which starts, and after some Ages they runned out without any result. But you can be sure- When I post it- I share it.
So I really can understand when Molny or someone else make thair critics about FPS Drops or so on - But at the end I only want to give a possibility , Show ideas and give the community some kicks were the jorney can go in future.
Cheers

Morning TomCatz.
In the list of models I think I finished the list of vehicles, can you give me hints on what other categories have updated models, this way I don’t have to search through the entire database.
Thanks! -
I would love those F-15 with proper skins and markings, so I can use them on my install.

Molny on the other hand sharing the wing texture area for both wings reduces memory usage and increases the resolution.
Second how many times u notice the difference between those two?
Till now I never noticed such difference. Maybe it’s there but few can see it.I saw it also and I thought it’s a clever way to both make it better and smaller.

The effect is negligible.
Second how many times u notice the difference between those two?
At first sight because as I have said the symmetrical weathering and camo are unreal and totally unnatural. Almost all Hungarian players saw the difference at first sight. On most of AC only on one wing is roundel. –-> The two roulndels on both sides are very, very noticable…
Creating for very high poly models such a skinmap is similar to build a new million dollar house and do low quality paintjob on the house…
-
Ok u r right but u have it focused now.
When u fly a mission will u ever notice the weathering on the opponent which u might take out in bvr?Ok maybe for lod1 but for lod2 3 and so on its useless…
90% u don’t even see it. So for me sound like a compromise that I could live. Also not minor count all the vehicles and do the math… They are alot.
I’m not saying to use this rule on every model but for the majority of them this rule could be used.

Considering this statement why even we want 30k models…? Or any highpoly models at all.
My aspect is very simple. If you have a HQ and detailed model give it them a good skinmap.

i’m with Molni here
As a Skinner, i aim for quality work and attention to detail. The imposed Mirror effect will spoil the level of quality i’m after and i won’t even start skinning it -
same way terrain is sacrificed
same way BMS team putted regulations for current models
same way current airports rwy txy are the same
same way u don’t have dedicated server appAnd again I’m not saying for all… but it’s a nice way for models that r not so high in priority…
For the future imagine integrating cities where every building and every buildings side should be different texture as u say… Should 3d designers design and balconies… Imagine the textures needed not for a city but for a block of buildings…
Trees? they should all be unique? in shape and textures?
Also those aircraft skins are not just one set… but per squadron per country… and so on…
If u got what Wavey Dave said about reaching the margins of memory then u shouldn’t say that… he said they pack 16 buildings with normal damaged and destroyed in the same texture file.
Sure I like it to be large and have high poly models and 8192x8192 texture only for one wheel of an aircraft but this would take FPS to it’s knees if done in the majority and as u see day by day new guys come in and every month we see and new additions of WIP models. Tom made large skins and to balance that (probably) he used the same texture mapping for the wings.
Also those skins are not just one… but per squadron per country… and so on… -

Nothing but lowpoly this model looks alike… Sexy…

Go for your way Tom!
You’re really an artister and i used your previous models in BfB 1.1.5 in Singleplayer and in Multiplayer on Falcon Online server, without FPS issue. We host multiplayer campaigns normally with 30 and more players connected, with different hardware (from Pentium I to I7) and never i had complaints for FPS drops for your models. I think that only the direct experience it can confirm if an idea or a work is good or not. I’m not at your level but in my little experience in 3d i’m making some new 3d vehicles and i’m testing in TE and campaign without FPS or other problems. Some screenshot:The amount of players normally connected on a FO server event:
Tom you’re welcome for invoice dicussion and confrontation about idea on FO TS3 and newly many many thx for your effort and work.
Regards
D.

Tom, your low poly model with the detailing texturing/weathering looks better than many hi poly models we have seen. Great work. We’d low to see more of your low poly magic.
-
Tom, could you please include your FPS ingame in your OTW screen shots???

Can be requested some very specific unit?
K-30 BIHO
M163 VADS
Flakpanzer GepardAnd literally all baisc ground units except what Hayab have been covered. M60A3, M1 Abrams, M2 Bradley, Leopard 1A4, Leopard 2A1 or A4, M109, M113, etc. Falcon is not all about only aircraft and helos… Considering the capability of Sniper TGP and most of player love the very advanced era even just for better VID a better 3D models would be great at least from most common and basic GUs.

Downloading….Thanks Thomas, I’ve been grafting my balls off lately so not much time for BMS but still glad your adding great stuff to this baby.

Just amazing!! Thanks Tom…:p
