2 days, and 4 models!






Model Name: Heli.ms3d
Polygons: 1246
Build Time: 1.5 Hours
Game: Jedi Knight Bond Mod/Personal Use

A quick little bugger I made for friends in the Bond Mod. One of my best models, it's increadably clean and the body is done with a bit of polygonal modeling to acheive the hole in the middle. This was my reference picture.


Model Name: HKAdvanced.ms3d
Polygons: 360
Build Time: 10 minutes (20 including base model HK.ms3d)
Game: JK Matrix


Model Name: HK.ms3d
Polygons: 336
Build Time: 10 minutes
Game: JK Matrix

The H&K USP .40 is one of the weapons that will be featured in a small matrix-themed mod. The above are the external and internal meshes. GreenJeanz will be texturing them shortly. I tried to be cheap on polygons.

Questions? Comments? Flames? Horribly directed prequels?

Well, it looks better than all my work, and otherwise, it looks really good.

Now for the textured version...

I'm not sure how soon the textured version of the heli will be out, that's up to the nightfire team, but the H&K should be textured within the next week.

well, it looks pretty good, except for one thing, try making the rotary blades a bit.. thinner, yea me thinks thats it, they shouldnt be so thick.
other than that, great job!

Yeah, make them like a flat version of this: <> instead of a rectangle. It's still 4 sided, so theres no polys being added without a reason, and it looks more correct.

Love the helicopter. The HK Advanced is pretty nice. The plain HK is a bit boring, but since its for a JK mod, it's fine.

I'm a C4D b****!

It's like the LOD in Q3, it's just lower detailed to reduce lag.

Except in Q3 there are higher poly models that kick in when you get closer. In Jk they are just all normally low detailed all the time. Comparing Jk to a Q3 LOD is... a bit silly. But they look good nonetheless.

Actualy, the blades would look BETTER with less sides. 3. Then you can shape them generally in the way real blades are shaped to actually generate lift.like a triangle but with the top point moved over a bit.

WOOSH.

the fourth is for Aaron's mod, so I can't show that until he textures it, and he'll probably show it in one of his fancy SOTD filled posts.
