A great addition, Watchman!!!! I suppose people who don't use 3DMax can extrapolate this and learn to import from Blender, or AC3D, or Maya, or some other tool.
Thanks for taking the time to do that: I believe this will really pay off in the end. I've been toying with the idea of fleshing out the Afrika Korps mod, and perhaps starting with the Lee/Grant series of US tanks.

Hi, While we're on this topic, I recently came to know about this site: http://forums.simulation-france-magazine.com/viewtopic.php?f=69&t=2348It appears they were working on much the same thing - it went quite a long way but then they stopped.  (Edit)You know, since one of the modders (FAW Saumon) is still active on that site, you might want to contact them about carrying on, where they left off... Some of the models they did appear to include the M3 Lee, M3 Stuart, M4 Sherman, M13/40, Semovente, etc. etc... |

Ky th it´s NSU a German team which is still working although slowly on the Desert mod. Reading the panzersim.com portal they announced a new Kursk or is it Desert map.That Francophone forum is dead .I once took part in it but left as they are way too passive ...

Provided I can get over the language barrier, I might want to simply lend my meagre skills to this effort. |

I would not mind just a M4 Sherman model, it was the main bread and butter of the US forces on the Western front.. make shift western front missions could be made using exsisting maps we have now. just having a Sherman model would make it happen for now... could make a Firefly from it too for the Brits..or a 76mm Jumbo thick armor M4A3 Sherman for us who want to play it, and have a slight chance to survive. be nice to have the Cromwell, Cruiser, Renault R35-R40, Valentine, Churchill series etc .. Comet and M26 Pershing would be nice, but the Bread and butter tanks M4 Sherman would be the best start, the M10, M18 and M36 tank destroyers are also great .. Sounds like a GREAT project.. you have my mouth watering over this, your going to make me short out my keyboard.!! |

Speaking of language barriers the modders of the Afrika/Desert mod are Germans not French and they speak fairly fluent English(at least some of them).They have their own website( just google it) and they can be reached on the panzersim.com forum( not the tanksim)

Great! But it looks like there's no bumping texture. |

Correct, I'm holding off on the bump textures until I can tighten up the UV mapping. I'm more or less at the enjoyable part of the project where I can start refining a lot of things.

 If mapping's been a PITA for you, I sure don't see any evidence of it on these shots. Looks very nicely detailed.... no 'stretching' or other problems either.... nice.

It was my fault, cause I didn't explain properly. I took this shot as an example for the sherman texture. I didn't do this model, it's just to have a look.

Oh, I see.
What's your current problem with mapping, and which 3D program are you using?

I tried to do vs UV-mapping and failed. That's enough. Perhaps in a future I'll try once again, but it's too complicate. |
