Pilotasso Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 I agree the plane does look stunning. I was wondering when SIM's would use actual digitized skins. I remenber there some back in the DOS times but they looked awfull and developersswiched back to traditional methods of texturing. That untill now. I think they will potentialy look far better and make the traditional skins look like out of comic books. All credits to you strikemax, cheers. .
SuperKungFu Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 To strikemax, can we get some more screenshots of the canopy? The first picture made the glass canopy look very white due to the glare. I was wondering can you make it more transparent something like this that's why I'm asking for some more screens since it may have been that particular angle since the second picture looked fine. Second question, hows the gears coming along? I would figure that would be a b*tch to model, with all the wires and lights like this Third, do you plan to model the inside of the engine? For example when you look at the Su-25T's intakes, you can see very faintly something spinning. The same applies if you look into the exhaust. Because if you did model that, it would be crazy yet awesome. And to other modelers or strike, i know the cockpit is hard coded but is it possible to replace an existing cockpit. To my knowledge you can't add new cockpits but can we replace old ones? Like since the Su-27 cockpit we have now is not 6dof, if someone were to create another su-27 cockpit and replace it, would we get 6dof and still have our instruments work properly? It would be cool to have these types of angles These pics came from http://www.cgtalk.ru/exc.php?id=sds and http://www.meshfactory.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=21_22_24&products_id=435 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Disso Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 Can we get a few more screenies of the Flanker ingame at different angles and perspectives! Please! I'm dying for this beauitful model! SU-30MKI F/A-18F ...Beauty, grace, lethality.
fragal Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 2 words WOW WOW!!! excellent work strikemax keep it up :thumbup:
i 185 Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 When can we see this model in game,about not exact, I can,t wait anymore!!!!:thumbup: :thumbup:
JaNk0 Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 Just have to ask one question. Will the front of the wings bend forward when you do a hard turn like in Falcon4? (don't think it's modeled in LO) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Disso Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 You mean leading-edge slats? I believe they already do. SU-30MKI F/A-18F ...Beauty, grace, lethality.

F l a n k e r Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 Eh eh, calm down guys... The pics of SuperKungFu are not from StrikeMax, but form another 3d model (a commercial one). But I think that the StrikeMax model can be even better!
SuperKungFu Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 yea i even said at the bottom the pics are from whatever site. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

StrikeMax Posted September 21, 2006 Author Posted September 21, 2006 Working on NoseGear Assembly. Sorry for not updating sooner. Was quite busy. I can see that you've posted many remarks re. details. Well, The most difficult decision for me is choosing what parts to model "fine" and what to model "coarse". I know I will exceed the 50,000 poly. quota by 10-20% but not more than that. to SK. Thank you for that superb model pics you posted, But I bet that the Nose Gear alone is almost 50,000 polys if not more.Add to that 2 main gears, and you will get a enourmous FPS hit when in Landing configuration. Not mentioning the possibility of your wingman landing with you at highest LOD. Also, do not worry much about the canopy glass color tint or transparency, these are easy to modify. Re. posting more screenshots(ingame), I have many, but all taken from the same session, there would be no "update" value to it( besides, the other side is not properly textured ;) ). Attached is what Im working on right now:
Disso Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 I don't need to see updates, I just simply want to see more of the beautiful model alone. I don't care about the angle, shot, ect ect, Just more of that model ingame! Great work! SU-30MKI F/A-18F ...Beauty, grace, lethality.
SuperKungFu Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Very nice gears strike :thumbup: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
i 185 Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 how many polys is the Su 25ut model,will Su 27 have more polys,will Su 27 be even more detailed, will there be high res detailed skins like on Su 25ut,I want Soviet Era Su 27 skins, can we get those! Can someone give me a rough estimate on when this model will be released!!!
Guest Alfred Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 This model has serios problems with geometry....
Shaman Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 I'm afraid so, that's why I wanted to see 2D wireframe shots, front, side, top, cuz something is wrong. You can easily see it when you check the line that starts from the top of the nose, and goes via canopy, via belly of the plane. I hope you know what I mean. This is not correct Flanker geometry. I might be wrong, screnshots could loose aspect ratio or something... that's why I need to see those technical views. 51PVO Founding member (DEC2007-) 100KIAP Founding member (DEC2018-) :: Shaman aka [100☭] Shamansky tail# 44 or 444 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 100KIAP Regiment Early Warning & Control officer
StrikeMax Posted September 23, 2006 Author Posted September 23, 2006 This model has serios problems with geometry.... Why don't you try to be more specific? if you really know what ur talkin about.
Cobra360 Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 As Shamandgg put it. Something looks strange, it could be just the way the pics are resized though.
EscCtrl Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 It might be the camoflague skin that is making it look confusing and difficult to judge? it does look like it could be mishapen but that might only be because you have mentioned it that i think that or it could be the camera viewpoint on lockon like theres no sense of perspective or over done perspective hard to describe what i think i can see. do post a wire frame though would be better to know sooner before lots more work goes into it.
Guest Alfred Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 Why don't you try to be more specific? if you really know what ur talkin about. OK, i try to describe it but my english not so good. First of all,in this model has uncorrectly modeled nose of the plane, angle of the inclanation not so big it must be bigger and then nose will stand lowwer.Then it has some problems with his tail. The tail of Su-27 has another shape.Some more screen shots please
SuperKungFu Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 I think it would help if you guys provided some pictures of what the the problem appears to be with a real Su-27 and point it out to Strikemax rather than just saying it with words. Again, strike already said those pics are compressed that's why the star and such looks narrow. So give strike some hard evidence so he can pinpoint what you guys are talking about. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
