Re: I want to remake this
I is awesome, but it still looks like that pods would snap off if it were to ever land in gravity.  perhaps add some support struts or something?

Re: I want to remake this
Is the model big? Does it match fighters in terms of dimensions?

Re: I want to remake this
Replied. And I dunno about a release, maybe a model release but somebody else would have to export these as POF though I could rig the models in PCS2.

If you pass me the old meshes and maps in a format the 3ds max can open, I'll rig them for the public, while you can keep the shiny new ones for your mod release. :nod:

Re: I want to remake this
Alright but so you know I have NO idea which Max files I have are 3DS 7 or 3DS 9 since I sometimes overwrite my old files. Also there is a chance that some textures are either missing, gone, or incomplete since the final files were in the FS2 directory when I deleted everything.

About the size I'm actually not too sure but it should be roughly 20 meters in length. I'll have to get a person model and sit him into it then measure the craft.

Added some struts or whatever they are.
I have created a masterpiece.

Doesn't matter, I'll see what I can pull out if you send them over :P

Re: I want to remake this
Yeah, Droid's not gonna have any trouble with model formats. I can assure that much  :D

That is because they were the most recent until I stopped working.

More work:

Lower wings made and given missiles too.

Re: I want to remake this
I remember when the typhoon was posted here a while ago...
did that ever get released/used for anything?
i always though it was a great model...and there were some other great ones with a similar style IIRC

on topic, i think that you should make the fusalage/cockpit of the fighter bigger/bulkier...
right now it looks out of balance with the huge engine pods on the wings

 
Re: I want to remake this
Working on it  :ick:

At least those wings are done. Lets see.... poly count... hmm holy crap ha.... poly count so far 12,000. For my milestone I can stuff 4,000 more polygons and all go to the fusalage.

The Typhoon was used in my personal mod but if droid can do magic when I send the whole package then you may be able to blow it up yourself.
I have created a masterpiece.

 
Re: I want to remake this
another suggestion i have would be to contine the wind out a little beyond the engine pod...i think that would help the balance issue

 
Re: I want to remake this
Something beyond them? What you mean?
I have created a masterpiece.

Re: I want to remake this
Nice poly count.
Damn you're a beast at working on this thing, she's gorgeous.

 
Re: I want to remake this
No, tell that to the guys who made the HTL models for FS2 Open  :P.

I can't believe I spent 2 hours on the blasted cockpit frames... ugh so much welding and moving X_X. Man... working 5 hours straight.

Re: I want to remake this
Would it be a problem to expand the overall wing surface area? They may be thicker in depth now but still seem too small in width.

 
Re: I want to remake this
Too small in width?  :wtf:

Re: I want to remake this
I guess it was just the angles the other pictures have been in then, they kept appearing too narrow.
