New A-10 model..

[Deadman]

Yeniceri Great work so far take it one step at a time the model and skins first then if your not totally burned out by all the do this do that. It would be great if you can. Thanks again for all the hard work:thumbup: in the file 2pilots i rechecked the ACES II ejection seat on the right is 1100 and the pilot is 5570 so i don't know which pilot had 1,8000 sorry i can't be of more help

[Yeniceri]

dont say that..

You have been a great help about lots of things..

I sometimes get confused about polys and faces and vertexes, etc..

One day i count polys, one day i count faces.. :)

Sorry for confusion..

 

The A-10 count is faces..

on poly side its much less than 50.000..

but the pooly count on stock planes are much lower than that..

A model is specified by a set of 3D coordinates which together constitute a mesh

• ( actually a model can have multiple meshes - but don't worry about that for now.)

The mesh is not usually an arbitrary collection of those 3D coordinates, but is normally organised into groups of 3 (triangles) called a face (polygon)

The number of polygons (faces) that a model has is important:

• More polygons
  • better definition/resolution of a model
    
  • requires more processing - slower

  [*]Less polygons

  • poorer definition
    
  • requires less processing - faster

normally organised into groups of 3 (triangles) called a face (polygon)

 

============

 

 

So faces and polygons are the same thing - had to clarify that for myself )

 

so when ED specify a 50000 polygon model is best etc- build in 3dmax to 50000 faces - and all should be good )

[Yeniceri]

you are right trof..

my mistake..

now i mixed faces with triangles :)

at polycounter in max..

i look at triangles always..

 

but thats the real poly count

 

that means a-10 is 33.207 poly

and 64.455 triangles :)

 

ITs 33k poly guys :) hurrah!!!

[FWT]

:)Hooray!

[Kuky]

Yeah baby :D Awsome stuff on this model... and only 33k?! Bloody hell, I gotta learn how to make these 3D models :(

[USSR_Gys71]

Sorry Yeniceri. But you are wrong.

[Yeniceri]

so how can we maesure it then?

is it triangles that we should count?

[USSR_Gys71]

Yes

[Yeniceri]

than its back to 64K poly..:cry:

thanks bro..

[USSR_Gys71]

64k- its good

you can use 100k with damage model

[SuperKungFu]

what about the damage models..

do we really need them?...

 

 

yes please :D.

[Yeniceri]

yes please :D.

 

oh man...:cry::cry:

[thesystem]

Of course we need damage model hehehe :D

Then this would sure rock!

 

And i would get back to the A10 hehe

[FWT]

True.

[Yeniceri]

ok guys

i need a reality check here..

can i have ALL the a-10 pictures..I mean all of them....

specially detail shots..

Before starting animation, a want to check this thing inside out...

Every detail is really welcome..

 

Work time ppl..

pay the hog :)

This one is probably good for damage model and stuff

you should get 5 email full of pictures if you need an area just drop me a line i have more

[Yeniceri]

e mail is fine..

keep'em coming :)

Pics click on walkarounds at the top then Jet aircraft walkarounds and then the diffrent A-10 areas http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/

at the moment

3 ppl checking and cross ref.ing the model with images you guys send...

(an advertisement company's Qc operator, a modeller, and me)

So far we had 3 flaws and fixed them..

Rear gears animation,

Front gear animation,

Stabs animation

and rudders animation is done..

Air brakes, flaps and engine blades are tomorrow..

UW unwrap is scheduled for next week..

I am hoping to give the hog for a mean (naked paint) alpha test to,

Deadman, Superkungfu, Mustang, and warthogmadman987 monday night if they are up for it..

take care ppl..

WOW! it will be a pleasure to help out with the testing, looking forward to it :thumbup:

[warthogmadman987]

Yes Yeniceri, I am willing to help in the beta testing of your model. Just send me a PM, I check it often. If you need my email address let me know.:thumbup:

[SuperKungFu]

sweet, yea im up for it.
