A photo i'd not seen of Manfred
Hauksbee replied to UK_Widowmaker's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
Indeed, thanks, Jim. I was sure you could throw some additional light on the subject. ('Just purchased MvR, vol. 2. 'Will bring it to Dayton for a signing) -

Hauksbee replied to UK_Widowmaker's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
Jim Miller would be the one to ask about this. -
Great resource! Thanks, Geezer.

Whoops! The deal is off. OBD says the polygon count is too high. I was afraid of that. I think it's all those windows. There's 54 of them, all build with geometry. I'm going to have to bite the bullet and learn how to texture properly in G-Max.

Well, it's in OBD's hands now. We'll see what they do with it. (you might send them a copy of the postcard) I must say, it's quite pleasant having a model of mine in the game. In the future, (being a Quick Combat pilot) I shall make Roucourt my home base.

Thanks, Olham. Yes, the roof will be easy to change. And there were only two chimneys instead of four. And the color? Do you think it really was that pinkish cast, or is that just the way postcards were colored?

I finally dove into Boistrancourt and built the Chateau despite the gaps in my knowledge, such as: how to match the scale in the modeling window to the reality of the WOFF world. But that can be adjusted later. Also: what color was the chateau? And other such. But all that can be fine tuned after I meet RAF_Lou and Robert Wiggins in Dayton. . . . .

L'Chateau at Boistrancourt...
Hauksbee replied to Hauksbee's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
Thanks for the reference photos, guys. Geezer's will go in my "Buildings Textures" file, and Olham's in the "Chateau's" file. The red arrows point to the yellow(ish) colors I was seeing in my mind's eye. Still, I think I'll go with Olham's 'Ivory and Slate' (if I can get those colors from G-Max. . -

Thanks for the advice, Olham. I like those colors much better. I'll get them changed over by tonight. I assumed the true colors would be light, but, for some reason, thought it would be yellowish. (perhaps because the photos was sepia.) -

Beautiful piece of work, Geezer. Really nice modeling and a perfect pallet of texture colors. They look like they all belong together in the same world. Robert Wiggins also mentioned that he knows the 3DStudioMax>G-Max method. He models in SketchUp. then converts to another program/file format, then to 3DStudioMax, then to G-Max. -

Beautiful shot Lima33! That's "poster quality". -

Jaysus! Could it really be that simple? Thanks, Geezer. Nice church, by the way. Was it done for WOFF? Can you recommend a similarly simple tutorial for texturing? -

Is there a story behind that red star? -

Rumor has it, Olham's run away to sea. -

3D Modelling - Maybe time to start it
Hauksbee replied to Olham's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
Good idea. -
Watching some "IL-2 Battle of Stalingrad" clips the other night, I found this one of two Sturmoviks doing right-down-on-the-deck attacks. Beautiful photography; good pacing. But best of all, there's a moment at around 7:20 where the two planes are flying up a very shallow river valley. They bank gently left following the bend of the river. The trailing IL-2's port wingtip just barely touches the surface and a spray of water flies up. Just a kiss, and the plane flies on, but someone had tweaked the physics engine to allow that delightful minuscule moment to happen. .

Here's the "Hit The Treetops" video. (the event's around 12:34) And I guess I was wrong about tree branches. It's bits of airplane. .

WOFF Screenshot of the Month, July - 'Meet the Fokkers!'
Hauksbee replied to 33LIMA's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
After I replied to "A Pretty Bit of Coding..." I realized that I had included the latest (and, mayhap, the last) Fokker picture in the wrong thread. So here it is: .- 35 replies

Beautiful views, indeed. I played a bit with movie-making in ROF, but not much came of it. Mainly because my flying left much to be desired (and TrackIR never worked well for me) and also because I got my arse handed to me most of the time. But I must say that the in-flight recorder worked very well and there were a lot of views possible with it. COD and BOS are the same company, so I guess the same (if not better) recorder. I also suspect that he may have flown the same mission more than once. In some of the more elaborate BoB scenes done in COD, with multi-players, I suspect the pilots swap footage. That's the only way to get camera POV inside Hurricanes, Spits and He-111's. As for playable tanks...I don't know, but in the Stuka vid there was an interior view looking outside with a sight picture. So...maybe. About that pretty bit of coding: there's another vid (by the same guy) of a Me-109, solo mission, taking down three Sturmoviks. At the very end, he skims over a copse of trees, shears off some branches, pancakes into the tall grass, skids a hundred yards, or so, then gets airborne again (mangled prop) glides over another patch of trees and finally bellys in. Pilot is seen to be still alive at the end. But that spray of tree branches exploding off the tree tops was pretty fine. Here's what I expect will be the last Fokkers of July.

Glad to hear it!
