My projects (GKABS)

[+GKABS]

I decided to make a post so I can put all my work in one place I hope you okay with that.

Okay here is the update of the M978/M977 HEMTT more detail will be added but this is how it looks so far.

I don't think anybody will mind you consolidating your work into one topic, makes it so much easier to maintain one topic than so many others.

Nice work on the HEMTTs but was wondering which version is the cargo version, never seen one of those in that configuration before.

This is the 1988 Oshkosh M977 HEMTT 8x8 Truck W/Rear Mounted Crane.

Thank you for doing all this hard work!

Finally, UAZ-469, It not a high poly but It will do, big thanks to compufat for making the textures for the UAZ and the driver. I need to add a gunner for the 106mm gun

The driver model is free to use from the net

Excellent! But I think the windshield would need to be down for a more realistic look with the recoiless rifle.

I think I am getting closer to the correct shape. but there is a lot of work needed.  I will take a break and do another project and I will get back to it later.

The Bayraktar TB2 about 90 % completed,  not having a good blueprint is really making it hard to get it correct I have used more than 100 photos to work with but I think it will do. next UVW work, then animating the landing gear as well as  other things.

Thanks, looking forward to a nice fully armed OPFOR drone fleet to worry about :-).

[+GKABS]

The last update for today I completed the UVW and started making some work on the painting. 

 

[+GKABS]

another update.  If someone can tell me how to make rivets that will be great. 

PS. The correct name for the drone is TB2 not BT2 I have made a mistake typing it.

@GKABS, looks ready for precision weapons to me.  We're going to be flying too fast to count rivets on a squadron of cute attack drones making a swarm attack.

I am making the missiles my friend I have all the information ready 

I think I worked out the rivets problem.

[+russouk2004]

Rivets I use 1 pixel black and for highlight overlap a white pixel.....or 4 etc  and overlap white with the black rivet layer...like on the wing pic...and alter transparency to suit..

photoshop you can get lines of dots for rivets and theres brushes out there peopl e have made of panel lines...you click start then finish line and up they pop..

or like fuselage if high res you can do better rivets..(round raised or sunken etc)

[+GKABS]

Thank you russouk2004 for the help  

 

[+GKABS]

Last update for today.

[+Wrench]

OT:
Russ , how did you get the round hollow rivets???

[+GKABS]

I have been having this problem animation the landing gear and the great door in 3d max it's okay but then in the game and in the tools, t is not correct. and some time in 3d max after I complete the animation and I go back to 0 it starts from 1.  I really don't know what is the problem I did everything xform and export and import and restarting max.
