Hello,

TAKR Admiral Kuznetsov was now completed. Let’s wait 3-4 weeks to have it!

P.S. … would be nice if AC could follow the “curve” of the deck at takeoff, … someday.
(IIRC Mav-jp has already looked into it, but I’m unaware about the result(s).)

Cheers,

As I often say : a nice model is a good way to initiate some lines of code!

I will try by myself some stuff, maybe, I can do it by myself…

It makes me wait.to make some Mig-29K/KUB now…

Thank you!

Updated: CV16 Liaoning will be done too.

Is a carrier that I really like, good to see you creating it!

Another masterpiece, Radium!

Hello,

I think it is interesting to see a step by step making-of.

So, I will update this thread often to(why not?) awake some vocations for 3D.

Today, I worked on the deck, and, I started the hull but also elevator structures… It is always a bit complicated, so I make them early.

I also made Kashtan CIWS, as Kuznetsov has a lot…

I will finish hull tomorrow, I suppose, and I will connect it to the deck and structure… It is gonna be long with a lot of attention, but, it must be done to have a good result for later unwrapping… My target is to finish within next monday the 3D mesh… I think this is a realistic due date.

Best regards,

Radium

I found, fences looked pretty nice… So, I added some! Hope that it won’t destroy my triangle budget… Otherwise, I will delted them!

And, here is the real stuff… As you can see, still a lot of work!

Wow, make it a beauty, yes you can…

hmmm just wondering about the angle the edge of the carrier has…
the aircraft on takeoff must follow the height as it rolls and not sink in the 3d model.

Now if this works (will work) on carriers, could be a nice feature and add the ability to airbases (taxiway runway) to have bumps different elevation and angles on various areas without having the detail of the terrain underneath.

Yes I now a coding nightmare…

Edit: Unless this model is just for view - target and AI and not for actual use by human pilots.

What is the planned polycout? Tom Catzs has mad a very nice ship model. Of course the qestion is what new features will be in 4.xx and how can use new models. I think here about the linked weapon/launch position, or modeling the ski jump etc.

Tom Catz models worth nothing in Falcon, they aren’t optimized for this sim.

I partially agree.

I firstly simply intend to make a good Kuznetsov model, because it is seriously needed in BMS.

I stricly intend not to exceed 30K. If I am cleared by the staff for more, I can consider more.

Want some WIP? here you go!

No textures for now, just colors, as I often do, to render it correctly.

Just for your information, there is a lot of Kuznetsov versions. I aim the very latest upgrade of the Kuznetsov…

Best regards,

Radium

Hello,

My WIPs for today…

I mostly worked to enhance hull, correct some parts of the structure, add details, rework geometry, reduce triangles etc…

I also worked on elevators, added lifeboat containers… It looks better and better!

Day by day, hour by hour and gets better and better this beauty…
Thank you very much my friend!

Hey you know what, I can even do minute by minute

YESSSS. The most beautiful thing over an aircraft carrier: The arresting cables area :drink:
Great…

Hello Radium, I really like your work so far, especially on the F-2!

The Kuzy is shaping up nicely, but I fear that these life boats details will suck up valuable triangle count. Maybe you should consider single object with textures instead…
