Damaged Aircraft

Ok the booleen is finished. I did the cowl, fuselage and tail.
Should I do the rudder or will that mess things up?
How about the canopy?

I've made a texture for the otherside. now i'm guessing i just redirect the textures for everything on that side of the model, correct?

I'm doing the Advenger just so you know. that way we do not get doubles.
 
Textures for a Static Advenger...

Would anyone like to make textures for the Static models Allen and I are working on?

Are there some that are already made that someone would be willing to give us permission to use?

Also are there a better prop and textures while I'm at it?

What would you all like to see? Now is the time to think about it.

Side note:
I've removed the Decal part of the model. I can re-attach it if needed.
 
Material Navgator Find the old one that has the main texture than bring it up in the Material and click on "Show Map in viewport" (the blue and white box)

Now go to the part it say Maps (you may need to expand the maps) In the Diffuse Color load the right side texture.

Since you are likely going to make an un-mirrored texture setup click on "Copy" This will make copy of the Material. Now go down to the Diffuse Color load the left side texture.

Thing that move like the Cowl flaps, Flaps, Ailerons, Elevators, Rudder Landing gear and Tires are broken into there own part so you can leave them. The main thing is to cut the fuselage from nose to tail. You will have to split the Rudder in half as well. The Canopy dosn't need to be split.
 
TBF Avenger

I'm not as fast as Allen but here is a pic of the Avenger.

I've added the engines so we can cut away the cowl. I'm also looking to change the prop. Kelti is right. they look terrible.

Bob,
Do you want the Canopy open or closed? I was going to open it but what do you want.

Repaints...
As far as repaints go, I'm using the stock texture and the same setup as the OH Aircraft use. So any existing repaints can be used tbf_avenger_r and tbf_avenger_t format. They should be mapped the same. I'm having Allen check it over now.
 
It looks good, for the Marine aircraft I am using the Midway gray and light gray for the Marine aircraft. For the Navy aircraft I think they were gray as well during this time period but the blue stock textures will do fine.The canopy if they were working on the AC I would think would be open.
 
Well so far so good. Kinda.

first pic. which is mine and which is the OH Avenger?

Avenger2.jpg

hint its not the first one you see.


there is a problem with it .
Avenger1.jpg

Allen, half my plane is missing textures. I'm sending it to you. Again, sorry.
 
If you used the mirror option show in the green box I have bad news.

Bad Mirror.jpg

Your going to have delete any thing that was mirror-ed using that option and do the mirror-ing from the Modifier List drop down. To mirror a part and have it work in game right you have to go to the Modifier list drop down and go to Mirror.

Add to the pot

Hi Folks,
Like the thread, some good ideas here.

Messed around with stock Zero in FSDS (not clever enough for Gmax! ;)). And got a trashed zero for placement as a small bgl. Not destructable, but why waste ammo on this!..ha ha!

Do what you want with it. If any one wants the FSDS file let me know.

Cheers

Shessi
 
Awesome!!!

Shessi, that looks great. Are you uploading it?

I'm not realy able to work with FSDS, not sure if Allen can.

Allen,
I fixed the goof up, thank you.
 
BH,
It's attached!

All you need to do is put the bits in the folders and place it with MB or other progs etc.

I only used FSDS once and that was to make tutorial on how to make CFS2 objects.

Okay good.
 
Avenger is Finished...

Finally.......... :dizzy::banghead:

Its been a real PIA. I spent all day fixing and tweeking things. Just when I though I had it, I would find something else. I will upload it tomarrow.

I'm not doing any damage texture for now. We can use the stock or OH ones.

So the Avenger will be static with the cockpit open. The damaged version of the same model will have the glass removed and the cowl broken apart. plus a few other bits removed. Hopefully I did everything right.

I'll put pics in with the download. I'm too tired right now. Besides its snowing and I have to shovel. yea...

Till Later,
John
 
Update.

well I haven't released it yet. Again I got it in game and realized I was missing something. So I have added what was missing. Fixed my mistakes. Thank you Allen for the help. So now I have a finished destryable model.

TBF Avenger-grd.jpgTBF Avenger-dam3.jpg

Now I'm in the process of making just a static and damaged model.
 
Blood_Hawk23, you and Allen have done a great service and job on the damaged AC. I thank very much for the hard work.
 
Next...

After I finish the other two versions of the Avenger its off to the P-39. I'm not adding anything to the model. It will be de-mirriored and multi-LOD. not sure if i'm going to make it damagable. I could do three models. we will see.
