3d max modeling request

[Wrench 9,730]

in other words, 'help a brudda out'

 

what I need from our 3d guys, is actually quite simple

 

I need the 'bow and arrow' diapole antenna as seen in the profile below. mind you, the NF.IIs did have other reciever/transmitter antennas on the wings (8 in total), but I think we might be able to live without them (as measuring the exact distances to the mid-wing and wingtips might be diffucult)

 

a simple lod, that I can add via fake pilot.

the rest I'll reuse from the NF XII

 

thanks!

Are the Vertical sections,Round, Flat or airfoil?

Try This.

the diagrams in the modlers data file, and the photos suggest simple cyilnders

 

I'll test that lod ASAP!!

 

thanks Raven!

I'd say that works!!

 

was even able to bury 2 into the wings to 'fake create' the reciever diapoles!!

 

thanks man!

 

now, just reskinning and redecaling!

Cool. I took a chance on the shape. If you want I could export just the vertical section for the wings? ,Or if you give me the location data from the FM I could make it all one mesh, I have the aircraft to test it with.

up to my friend! it works fine as is!!! (I REALLLY thank you!)

using it 3 times was super easy to add as 'seats' for the fake pilot

 

 

if you realy want something to do....after you finish the P-40, you want to finish an F6F-5 Hellcat (and maybe make a -3 from it?)? Got it from Zur (the Great and Powerful); already mapped and animated for SF. even has a skin. Just hasn't been exported to LOD

no hurry on answering....

(ain't I a stinker??? )

 

anyway, here are the 'seat' position from nose and both wing mounts

 

[RadarAnt1]

SystemType=PILOT_COCKPIT

PilotModelName=FakePilot

Position=0,0,0

SeatModelName=NF2Ant

SeatPosition=7.05,0.03,0.42

SeatID=3

 

[RadarAnt2]

SystemType=PILOT_COCKPIT

PilotModelName=FakePilot

Position=0,0,0

SeatModelName=NF2Ant

SeatPosition=-7.05,0.03,0.42

SeatID=4

 

[RadarAnt3]

SystemType=PILOT_COCKPIT

PilotModelName=FakePilot

Position=0,0,0

SeatModelName=NF2Ant

SeatPosition=0.0,3.60,-0.28

SeatID=5

 

ant 3 is the nose (obviously!). Only if you to! We want the P-40!!

The F6F-5 Hellcat sounds like fun. I.m doing the lines and FM for the E and testing the guns.
