BO-105 PAH1A1 progress news

What is your poly target?

Looking at other models I would probably recommend something around 200.000 polies. (maybe less)

Target is 120.000 polys. Further polys for details and pilot/Crew. So I think I will be around 150.000. It's better to take the framerate into account (Not everyone have a hi-end machine) :thumbup:

That's cool, if you can do the quality you want with that poly number you should totally do it.

Even the people that actually have high end machines will appreciate that. (fleet of helicopters in one mission, YAY!! :D )

Yay, nice :)

P.S!: I don't know where you live, but in Roth, Bavaria is on sunday (28.07.) a open day at the Kampfhubschrauberregiment 26. Tag der Offenen Tür; Anfahrt

Maybe I'm there and can take some pics of the Bo-105.;)

I live in Gersthofen and a colleague is also there to shoot photos. If you also there it would be very helpful if you get some pictures. The more the better :thumbup:

The Cockpit Model so far ...

Looking great! May I ask you what you did to archieve the cuts for the windows and doors? Did you use your exterior and cut it or did you use retopo tools?

I'll be also in Roth on Sunday! I hope that I can take some good pictures of the BO for your work.

I used my exterior model and did cut it out with the door's shape via proBooleans -> screenshot.

Please next time go to the modelling section.I can answer your questions from there. This threat is just for the news :thumbup:

Thanx, I also appreciate that :thumbup:

You are making great progress there!

Tolles Cockpit :)

Könntest Du es vllt so machen, dass Du alle News und neue Bilder auf der ersten Seite in den ersten Post editierst? Das stört mich nämlich bei den anderen Projekten auch. Wenn man nämlich zB nicht wie hier andauernd mitschaut oder zum ersten Mal diesen News-Thread anschaut, darf man, um die meisten Screens zu sehen, schon mal 50 Seiten durchkämmen und das nervt. Ich kenns halt vom ArmA-Forum so und das ist echt praktisch, wenn man nur auf die erste Seite schauens muss ;)

Sry für den langen Text, aber das wäre eben ein Vorschlag von mir ;)

Hi Andi. Hatte ich mir auch auch schon gedacht. Aber Danke für den Vorschlag.

PS: I know it's sometimes difficult to translate a huge text into english but please keep in mind that this is a english speaking forum ;).

Of course it's an english speeking forum but this was meant as a PM to you. And for the English people I made a new extra thread ;)

P.S. I will edit later some pics of the Bo-105 here.

Hello,

First picture from Roth!

I'm uploading from my iPad, so I can upload only one picture because I must rename every picture at my Computer. I think more pictures coming monday.

It was very hot, wasn't it :D (did you have a blue t-shirt, just a question? ;))

Here are some of my pics:

Hi mate,

You may already know this site, but it has a lot of closeups of the cockpit for your textures.

Can anybody name the pods on both sides of the BOH-105? Are that targeting and/ or recce-pods?

regards,

Fire

If you mean this one, then yes :-)

These pods (AGDUS) are for targeting practice. It tells the Gunner if he hit or missed the target when he would fire a real missile or been hit respectively.

Progress has been updated.

From now on, all progress news are in the first post :thumbup:

WOW ! Thanks for the pics, Andi !

Update 30.07.2013

 

Preview of the cockpit-progress so far. It takes longer than I tought ;)

Looks like very much excess surfaces for cockpit model. All surface which is never seen from pilots view must be removed, for example back side of seats. Look at some ED cockpit models in modelviewer, they are very optimized and you`ll understand what I mean. 160k+ tris for cockpit to much. ED recommends near 100k here and here. Also model "weight" for DCS determines by tris, not polys.

I hope I said nothing offensive here, just want to share some knowledge I had from russian forum and ED tutorials. Some tutors translated to en, but very interesting ED advices I wrote not.

Keep up good work!

No problem. Thanks for sharing your knowledge :thumbup:. The statistics from the screenshot are not correct, because I have a second cockpit also in my scene. So the actual Triangle count is about 69.000.

The rear details of the seats is for the crew in the backseat. Just thought when you are a gunner you have a view on the rear side of the seats. Or is the rear section a seperate model ? It would make sense. I took a look at the UH-1H cockpit model and the rear section is missing.

Rear model with reduced polys for pilot section and pilot section with reduced poly for the rear section. is that correct ?

Thanks for the links. I'll translate it with google :music_whistling:
