iVIPER21 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I've been working on creating a MK82 Snake-Eye high drag 500 lb bomb with hopes of seeing it make its way into Lock-On. This is the LOD1 model and has about 1100 faces (I still need to add the support struts, so I figure it will be 1200 or less when complete). I also have to make the LOD2 and LOD3 models and then texture them (what you see are the use of default materials, not textures). Anyways, here's some renders : I don't know how much time I will be able to spend this week modeling it but it should be completed over the next couple of weeks - keep checking back! :icon_jook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra360 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Nice work, A Mk84 AIR version would be handy aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brit_Radar_Dude Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Nice work Mate. Would be good to see this make it into Lockon. Ditto a hi-drag Mk84 like Cobra360 said......

iVIPER21 Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 Thanks! The devs already have a MK84 AIR - but for some reason it was never included in the release of Lock-On. You can see them in the official video called "A-10 Attack" here http://www.lo-mac.com/movies.php . I think we definitely need some high drag bombs for low-level fast attacks.

juan_mol Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Those look great. I hope ED implements them back in the future. Shouldn't be too difficult since they where once in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iVIPER21 Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 Got the support struts, cross-bolts and nose-pin done, reworking the suspension lugs. Here's a couple of work-in-progress renders for you: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iVIPER21 Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 Thanks WK! I'm doing everything I can to keep the number of polygons down and level of quality/detail up. It looks like the model will be no more than 1300 polys at LOD1 - ED has set the limit at 2000 polys for weapons (posted on the main site).

iVIPER21 Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 Thanks Alfa. Well, the LOD1 3D model is finished - 1250 faces total, now on to the texturing process. I'm not so great at UVW mapping so this is gonna take some time. Then it's on to converting the LOD1 model to LOD2 and LOD3 while making sure the textures/UVW stuff stays put. Anyone know of how Lomac uses keyframes for animation? Like on the LGB's and Mk20, how the fins pop out - the same would need to be done for the MK82HD. Anyways, here's a couple good shots of the reworked suspension lugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iVIPER21 Posted March 8, 2006 Author Share Posted March 8, 2006 shamandgg: Just stopping by to say: Great Job, iVIPER21! thanks! Witchking: wicked job there dude. nice skin + model. Can;t wait to throw that on some tanks :D thanks! i talked to Chizh and he gave me the go-ahead to up the poly count in order to add more detail (mostly on the nose fuse area). I'll be sending him the completed model by Sunday (and posting some before/after renders of the changes here for everyone to see). From there, it will be reviewed by ED - hopefully they will like what they see. Just for fun, I think I will also make a couple of animation video clips of the bomb being dropped with the fins popping out etc and some massive explosions. Stay tuned! :icon_supe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrno120 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 That would be a great addition to the 3d inventory~ The most stupid member in the forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iVIPER21 Posted March 16, 2006 Author Share Posted March 16, 2006 Small update... Due to moving into a new house and starting a new job (and making a new signature ;) ), the changes seen above took a little longer than I first estimated. The polycount has been up'd to around 2200 - details were added to the bomb itself in order to help smooth it out. The suspension lugs and nose fuse area received a lot of added detail, too. BTW, the pics above are not the real textures that will be used. If I add more detail, then I have to redo the UVW map and redo the skin. I'm hoping for feedback from Chizh before I spend time on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trident Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Looks good to me, you've captured the curvature of the warhead casing much better than before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iVIPER21 Posted April 21, 2006 Author Share Posted April 21, 2006 I just wanted everyone to know that the project is still alive, here are some more shots. I decided to remake the model from scratch after finding some much more detailed photos of the snakeye. Progress has been kinda slow due to working 50+ hrs/week at my new job! Little by little it will eventually be completed :thumbup: edit: added suspension plugs-> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
