JagdTiger [Released, Page1]

[Donken]

Here is an wip render on my latest just for fun noob project!




I have one problem. I need to find a texture i can use, I can make a template or something similar if someone wants to help! Because this one i have borrowed from World of Tanks and the skin modmaker is called Stromberg something. Creds to him =)

EDIT:

Finally its here. After lots of swearing, tears and little blood (and many many knocked out russian tanks) let me present to you the Mighty Jagdtiger!

The only thing i didnt include in this release is the updated interior. Im gonna try to finish it later and update the download or make a seperate patch, so just hold on to it!

Jagdtiger V.1.2.zip



Check readme for installnotes and important information

And all kind of buggs and suggestions to improvements are most welcome!


Updated download to v1.1.

Only a few changes but still important. Its now a little tougher opponent and it bites back even a little harder. For those that doesnt want to download the whole zip again i only made these changes wich you can add manually:

In jagdtiger.engcfg i changed armor_thick 100 to 110 and armor_str from 2000 to 2100 and also armor_frail from 0.2 to 0.1.

In common_res i only changed:

SPRGR_44,0x10,%SHELL_HE%,PAK44,750,55,0.35,0.1,0,1,1,0,25.6,3.6,0.1,8,0.5,0.5,0.1,0,1,1,1,expl_gndm*,expl_techm*,expl_buildm*,expl_water*,expl_human*,fly1,0,1500,1,txt_shell_sprgr_44, he_expl_pat,rico_pat,piece_pat,0x3,1,2,100,3,0x80000000,0,1,17,SHELL_SPRGR34,SHELLC_HI;

Update 1.2

Biggest change is i added 3 Lods to it and slightly reworked gun mantle. Also i hope i fixed the problem with the radioman/mgunner that didnt shoot sometimes. The big Changelog is in the archive!

I need to find a texture i can use, I can make a template or something similar if someone wants to help!

A template would be good, thanks,

[bidounegger]

So a very beautiful model , I should like to play some missions  in .... ! I 'm sure I not one to want to play with ! ...

Im working as much as i can in my sparetime so it should be ready in 2-3 days i hope. I need to unwrap everything because of the old texture so it takes time, lots of extra time

anyway a little more work, in those renders it was around 6,5k polys and now ive added almost all details on enginedeck/superstructure sides and reworked lots of things and its around 4,1k polys now =)
And there is not so much detailed stuff left so i hope this tank is gonna be real easy on the computer.

  I want one I want one !!!

[whukid]

Wow! Nicely done!

Don't cut it down too much, the game can actually take 10,000 triangles and above as the base LOD.

No problem, i only adjusted things, didnt take away a single "good for looks" vertice.


And oh'boy, you are gonna have a tough job to fix the texture, so many small things, but im gonna do the best i can so its not gonna be that hard to make it.
And plz if you want Kyth, any special things you want on template? any effects, color, size? Send PM if you want with so much details as you think you want/need

Preferably blank 

An example can be found here:

Of course, some guide to where each part goes, would be helpful too,

[Donken]

a small update:



Is this template acceptable Kyth? Im gonna do a better one that you can work with and in better quality.

I still have a few small things to do like adding wheels and some small stuff on the roof.
I whole "picture" render is coming this evening if i got some more time =)

[Kyth]

That's good,

Have you imported the model to the Object viewer yet?

[Donken]

yeah, i have it in the object editor but i cant figure out how to add the texture to it, its all glowing red

But im finished with the model pretty soon, so im gonna export it to .go and then send you the .go file and a few pictures and templates etc =)
im pretty new at this so this is gonna be alot of trial and error

[Donken]

almost there now. Not so many things left, only adding wheels and a missing box on the engine deck.
Then the hard work with finishing the template

Any ideas or suggestions on the model? Any critique (spelling?) on missplaced items, missing items or wrong size etc?

Good work!

Now my first moan  the spare-track holders should only be 2 x 4 per side.

The rear exhausts could do with more curvature, and be slightly wider too,


By the way, the side plate appears to have a diagonal crease in it, could be one of the polygons not lying flat with the others,

[Donken]

about the track holders well see a little later, because on all pictures there are 6 holders on eachside (have 80pictures of the aberdeen JagdTiger)

and the exhaust:



Dont try to think about the shadowing (wierd shadows are a standard bug in 3dsmax). But now they are longer and wider and i added one extra height section on the pipes so the curvature should be alot better

Well, im pretty shure it can be one of those pesky shadowbugs on max, But im gonna look into it anyway.

About the spare track holders: each 'set' consists of 4 of the Z-shaped pieces and 2 of the little round nubs  forgot about those,

There appeared to be 2 sets each side at least, but occasionally a 3rd set per side.

I let the render talk for itself:



The model is now pretty much ready for export so tomorrow im gonna finish the mapping and then i send all the work over to Kyth
