+WhiteBoySamurai Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Since there's no sign of anyone else still working on one, I went back and finished uvw unwrapping my old Ka-25 Hormone model. But I'd like to give it to someone else to complete so I can focus on my behind-schedule ship projects. It's a modest 7800 polygons. The landing gear shocks are animated, and the rotors are properly aligned (but no fast rotor tga installed yet). It could benefit from some more details like doors, rudders, cabin windows, interior, and maybe a recessed weapons bay like on some versions. So if you like cutting holes in polygons, here's a job for you. As it is, the model is better suited for sitting on the Kiev deck or flying around as an AI target. But mostly it just needs a decent skin. I unwrapped it in the most logical manner I could think of, so it should be obvious what's what just by looking at the uvw templates. I've included a great reference pdf that was given to me by Snailman, IIRC. So, here's the package with the Max file and uvw bitmaps. Free to good home. Have fun. Ka-25_WIP.rar Quote
Snailman Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 I'm back, and it's in progress. What I am stuck with is a flight model, since the AI cannot land any kind of helicopters, not even on runway... to say nothing about ship deck... One experiment is pending, namely to try a biplane FM from FE2... Quote
mono27 Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 This is very interesting. A great addon for the Kiev carriers. Quote

And it tends to go out of control after sharp banks or turns. All I can say is, good luck. and how about the Moskva....???? helli carrier.....??? Someday. 1 Quote

I would ask Eburger about the flight model, he did an amazing job revamping yeye's mi-24 included in his recent mega-mods Quote
Snailman Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Thanks for all of you. I'm not ashamed to ask for help in this, as it was really a discouraging for me and partly a reason I halted the project that time( Quote
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Can you guys fill up this topic with WIP shots :) To be honest, Im asking myself for help multiple times, cause sometimes you are stuck with your knowledge. We have many good guys here who are willing to help you. 1 Quote
Snailman Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Bit updated rotor structure. Still missing some parts, like kamov syncroniser-disc (rudder disc) 5 Quote
+WhiteBoySamurai Posted June 20, 2015 Author Posted June 20, 2015 Looking good! That's a lot of detail on the rotors. Quote
