VireVolte_tigrou Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Since many times, I often complain some simmers about the absence of this nice little fighter. So, tired of waiting, I decided to begin the modelisation of this plane ! After some unsuccesful tries in mesh editing, I decided to use NURBS surfaces to model general shapes. And it works nicely : The great advantage of NURBS is you can finely built shapes and adjust number of faces with one parameter (useful when creating LoDs...).

VireVolte_tigrou Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 Thank you ! ;) I continue : the aft fuselage has been transformed into mesh, then wings built by extrusion... ... and rudder : (I'm looking for a genuine giant Pick Szalami... ;) ) (to be continued) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renato71 Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Nice work so far! I hope you will be able to complete this model as a fully flyable DCS addon :D I'm selling MiG-21 activation key. Also selling Suncom F-15E Talon HOTAS with MIDI connectors, several sets. Contact via PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VireVolte_tigrou Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 Nice work so far! I hope you will be able to complete this model as a fully flyable DCS addon :D I don't know if there will be enough polys ! :D It should be kept under 15.000 faces. An over view with both wings and rudder. Wingtips pylons had been re-designed too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpt Stark Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I don't know if there will be enough polys ! :D It should be kept under 15.000 faces. ouch 15k faces, seems to be poor I think 30k faces will be better for the first LOD ;) (between 0 and 30/60 meters) you will be able to detail gears, pilot, cockpit with a better quality then, 15k faces will be good for second LOD :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuky Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 How many LOD stages is LockOn allowing? I guess the more the better the transittion from high poly model to dot on the screen... No longer active in DCS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt Stark Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I don't know if there is a limit I just know that Rafale 3D model is 4 LODs ;) but I think that 4 or 5 LODs should be good 25/30k poly for LOD0 15k for LOD1 10k for LOD2 5k for LOD3 2k for LOD4 for exemple ... some real 3D modeler should confirm :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RvEYoda Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 (edited) Dont forget 20 dps sustained/30 dps instantaneous rate, (at least what i read somewhere) but awful low TWR and crap climb rate. Though sources are rare, and some say it's actually much much worse :P Also should have significantly smaller visual and RCS than mig29. (engine hidden for reduced RCS, effectively 1/10 of older f-16 RCS) Then you have to decide if you want to model the new AESA variant (not yet in production) or the classic C model :P Edited September 29, 2008 by =RvE=Yoda S = SPARSE(m,n) abbreviates SPARSE([],[],[],m,n,0). This generates the ultimate sparse matrix, an m-by-n all zero matrix. - Matlab help on 'sparse' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
