Weapons BGL issue

How did you try to change the texture? You should have been able to go to Unwrap UVW and change the current maping.

One thing of note. You can NOT use Unwrap UVW if you have selected multiple meshes. You can click on Edit.. and change the maping around but the changes won't save. Anytime you have selected multiple meshes the top right it will say Multiple Selected and any thing you apply to the multiple meshes will be in Italic Text.



Single Mesh Selected

Multiple Meshes Selected.

Another thing. The Areocrate 112lb has 2 meshes. If you made a drag box over the whole bomb you selected both meshes so any Unwrap UVW changes you tied to do didn't save.

If an one downloaded my Allen_Make_Weap.zip let me know if it worked for you!

We now have a PuW 50kg bomb. This might not be the final version.

sorry its not on a german plane and those are the wrong pylons but you get the point. I'll have a new texture for the Aerocrate's weapons.

Look here for some real pics of the Puw Bombs

OldWheat,
if you read this be aware that it will be coming to you shortly. I'm just going to do the 100kg next.

I'm also looking at making the SN 1650 Lb british bomb.

So thats where I'm at.

Till Later,
John
 
Smoothing is lost with 3ds files. You will have to re-smooth the bomb.

You will need to select the whole bomb and than go to the drop down Modifier List and select Smooth.

Now check Auto Smooth. If the bomb dosn't look smooth enough below the Auto Smooth check box is Threshold:. Change the 30 to a larger number. Threshold: 50.0 looks good to me for the PuW 12kg bomb.
 
Yeah 50 looks good on mine as well. I'm working on doing some work to the model. I'm fixing the tail fins. almost done.
 
Version 3.

I put the twist into the fins. its no "Perfect" but it is there. Which makes it look more like the original.

I have also scaled up the model to the 100kg. I haven't tested it in game. I may have to adjust it before I do. The bombs are coming along.
 
AEG with bombs...

Here is a sample of what i've made.

PuW 50kg bomb
50kg bomb pylon
PuW 100kg bomb
100kg bomb pylon
PuW 500kg bomb (not show but same as 100kg, only bigger)

I have to adjust the DP some. the 50kg bombs and pylons are too high still. The 100kgs could go down a bit as well.

sorry for the blocky looking fins. it was a little difficult to put the twist in.
 
who do i add the shadows. when the model is converted to 3ds you loose the shadows. how do i remodel those with GMax?
 
never mind... they are still there. funny how it doesn't show in GMax.

Anyways, I'm turning into the mad bomber here. I'm now making some of the French bombs. I have a Obus 75mm type R made in GMax. It looks ok.

in the works...

Obus 90mm "moule" fuse
Michelin 75mm and 115mm with Michelin Fuse
10kg bomb "type carried on the Spads"

many of WWI bombs were artilliry shells made into bombs by adding tail fins. The French used alot of these. Plus they used some "Anilite" bombs. From what i've read these were early Incendiary bombs with a liquid explosive. Much of what i've read says they were more dangerous for the crews then the enemy.

I'm going to keep it to just the 4 or 5 here. I have a list of other types but i'm not sure what aircraft they were used by.

I'll get pics of all of what i've made so far, real soon.
