F-15C's COMING!

[Maximus_G]

im just trying to make the modellers be more accurate.

 

You could do that less expressively, right? It's good to point out the mistakes, taking neutral position and seeking for the truth; but it turns to something different when it gets to "you're nowhere near aviation" sh*t.

i believe less words and more work is the better way

That's right. Be the man.

@john x:

to the shape of my eagle.

well, nobody here knows, besides super kung fu, yeniceri and gys, how much work went into the eagle allready. into the shape and so on and so on.

i forgot about the number SKF checked the shape, but well maybe we found 50 thinks that could be changed. so i did that and believe me. it will not be correct to 100% but for a good mid-poly modell it will be very accurate.

 

i which the enigine would support 500k, then i could go high poly, and the bird would be like the real f15c.

 

but for the shape, we did enough on the back when the simmod forum was alive.

 

and i think, 2 people who work on the eagle every day, checked the pictures of the shape and all together 5 people checked on the shape. even somebody made pictures of certain areas that i needed some reference of, which i did not have, so we were working hard on that bird.

 

right now i am in the skinning and animation phase. 80% of the animations are done. and now i am in the animation phase of skined areas, where lights appear. animations and skinareas set to the arguments. this eats alot of time though.

Keep it up Borchi, i am sure looking forward to it! :)

To create a model from scratch for a computer game with todays level od detail - is very hard work - appreciate it. Pity, Walmis lost his own work. Hopefully you do make some back ups? Can we expect same details over the damage model as the default F-15C?

[BrumTx]

if you arent a modeller you cant understand it.

 

 

Hmmm let's see, I've been working with 3D now for 10+ years in America and in Europe, that's part of the reason I moved to America, so you could say I have a little knowledge. The fact that I make 3d models for Medical computer programs ( in my spare time ) is slightly different than gaming I admit but the principals are the same in fact if anything I have to be a lot more precise ( a lot more detail ) than making a model aircraft.

 

I use the following programs : 3ds Max, Lightwave 3D, Swift 3D, Vue, Z brush, Carrara, Massive, AutoQ3D, FaceGen, DX Studio, Hexagon, Meshlab, MakeHuman, Poser, Mudbox, Swift3D Xpress.

 

So I suppose you could say I'm a moder :):):)

[john_X]

so you work with all those programs? 17 programs? i cant believe it..i know how hard is to understand a single program, like max. you know to model in all those programs?

[shaggy]

He might be older and wiser then you John ;)

[BrumTx]

John,

 

No doubt like a lot of the people within this forum over the years I have collected a mass of programs luckily some have been given by various Medical Companies and developers, while I am not proficient in all of the mentioned programs I am however VERY proficient in some. As Shaggy, Tomcatz, Tigrou and others will no doubt confirm, a lot of us use one program to do part of the work and others to get the finished article as good as it can be.

 

When I'm doing my photo macrography I use Adobe Photoshop CS 4 suite for part of the process and Corel Paintshop X2, and other programs to get the finished effect I want or need, such as Nik Color effects, Auto Fx, etc, in fact any add-on that will help me get the effects I need.

 

I'm sure that when you were a kid you helped your Parents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Friends, around the house or other location doing jobs for them, you were not proficient in all the jobs but you used limted knowledge, taking a little from here and a little from there, the point I'm trying to make is we all have some knowledge and we put it together to make a complete article in whatever form.

 

John, what peeved me off more than anything was the way you attacked everyone with your attitude, I think you wanted to " shake " them up by being so in their face, in some instances that may work but on a forum like this that is the last thing thats needed, it may work at your place of employment or within a Military enviroment but not here.

 

Remember that 95% of the people who make the mods have families and a full time job, they do these mods in their own time and mostly at their own expense, sometimes at the expense to family harmony.

 

By all means put forward your personal view but use your words with more respect, thats all I'm asking.

 

@ Shaggy, I'm in my early 50's so I have some of the " older and wiser " attributes lol.

[VireVolte_tigrou]

Excellent. ;)

And if some models are payware, that is just to afford a lawyer !:D

Absolutely! :thumbup:

@Borchi: When you say it would be great to have Simmod (or something similar) back up again, what exactly do you mean? The infrastructure (Website/Forums) or the guys you worked with? If it's just about the forums with the different open and closed areas for chosen 3D and texture artists and their visitors, I'm pretty sure that's not such a problem. Just let me know what kind of environment you need to work and I'll see what I can do!

[john_X]

it would be great if we(3d,2d, real pilots etc) organize to create new mods...but of course thats a dream..

[VireVolte_tigrou]

Ada Mod team did. ;)

[Vekkinho]

So how 'bout some screenshots of F-15C?

[borchi_2b]

screens, nope, not yet.

give me some more time.

i had to reorganise some real life stuff, like ai allready said before.

 

to the question from laud:

i talked to golfsierra: he wrote our former simmod host. so far no responce.

i guess we would have to make a new forum. yes, this is all that is needed i think.

but also a ftp server and a teamspeak

[Vekkinho]

OK mate, no problem with screenshots, just take your time...

[Phantom_II]

Yeah borchi，we all both wanne see the new pisc of th eagle ;);)

Any updates Borchi :smartass: :thumbup:

[lomcevac]

I'm thinking this model is timed to be released with Fighterops.... :music_whistling: :smartass: :D

[Agg]

Haha, you said it mate :P

[Luse]

Borchi !

 

Bump !

 

Wake up man :D

 

Any updates, your killing us here

[AMRAAM_Missiles]

I hope it better than Walmis's Ones Borchi :D.

Any pictures about that WIP F-15C?

[hitman]

How about just letting the guy get to it without bugging him every 20 minutes? Real life happens, and sim-mod is back up again, so give it a few weeks.

[pauldy]

Let Borchi work at his pace. He'll release it when it's complete ;)

[borchi_2b]

ok, little update.

 

i managed to get the eagle compatible with the SIMMOD a10 and the 3GO Su27.

 

for pictures, well i am in the skinning phase still now.

 

 

sorry, this no up to date picture. this picture is maybe 2 or 3 weeks old.

 

you will get some screenshot of the skin as far it is done in first place
