Helping Out A Fellow Modder

[VBK_Sniper_1-1]

Hello Everyone,

 

I was browsing the modding section, and I cant seem to find the tools or tutorials of any sort for exporting static objects into FC2

 

Ive got 3ds Max 8 but I have no clue where I can find the tools, and exactly what I need to do to successfully export my models from Max and import into FC2...

 

Any Insight?

Also, what Is a good polycount for a static building?

Hey Sniper,

The post is in the 3d modeling section but here is a direct link.

Not sure on poly count on buildings as you fly by them very quickly so don't need to be detailed in the model.

 

My advice, keep it low and do a lot of the detailing in the skin for it.

Thanks a bundle!

No worries.

 

Don't worry about modeling doors or windows, just skin those.

 

If you look at most of the stock FC or DCS building models, they are pretty basic with good skins.

Yeah that was my plan minus the front windows (Im Modelling a semi with a trailer for a show center)

 

Here she is if your wondering what it looks like

export is the easy part.

Is it going to be static, or moving?
