Needs to be rounder. The main part has to be nearly spherical! (See picture)
Front edge needs to project out a little more. IMHO.

Damn thing is a polygon eater for sure. Its at 1086 triangles. I think I now know why only 1 side has helmets in SABOW. lol. But, ya I brought out the visor thingie out more. Wish I had one of these to look at up close. It's funny really. I have my ACH and body armor behind me (home to clean before I turn it in). Tons of army crap in my little office right now but not one of these damned things.

Been looking more close at the mesh. Along the top seam some of the little #%&*$# vertexes are sticking out a bit more than they should. I'll hand tweak one by one. Thanks for the comments.


OK, at 1090 triangles for basic shape. Will add in a few choice details which should put final model (lod1) around 1200 triangles. Need to check how many triangles the default cap uses. I am hoping that the difference between 300 less triangles for my g3a3 over fn fal and more triangles for helmet over cap comes out about even. That way people on lower end machines should not see any proformance drop with boat loads of these guys running around the screen.

OH goody, just checked. I will be VARY close to that goal. So at least as far ar Iran is concerned, preformance for people will be about the same.

Hmmmmm. I think I screwed up in almost everyway bringing this in game.

Lol!

A little better right? LOL. Well this will be in the next version of mini mod along with g3a3 and hopefully a couple other things. Expect next version of mini mod shortly after next SABOW beta patch.........when ever that will be. Whatever I have done at that time I will release. However, right now I am totally not in the mood to go thru the 15 to 20 compile and tweeks needed to get this steel pot right, but will get done before my next release. Think I will start on that F5 I have been wanting to do for the past month. Then return to wierd axis issues and getting more complex stuff in (playable m113a1).

That g3 looks kind of sexy right?

No idea why this helmet is pissing me off so much.... Problably the easiest thing I have made so far. But man, it is really pissing me off!

Had to take a few days to just goof off (had to finish playing stalker complete 2009 mod ;D). Totally not happy with my helmet texture so I think I will redo it. But apart from that it has all LOD'd, is scaled right (more or less) and have its config work loaded up in the mod's structure. The plan now is going to be two flavors of helmet textures. One will be just steel pot and the other with webbing. However, starting another project here so probably will not finish that up till right before I release what I have.



ahaha lol, I posted wrong screen with backwards helmet. OOPS eheh I think I will leave it.

A little peak at what i have been working on this weekend. Still has a LONG way to go.






the real deal....



Coming soon..........hopefully!
A new aircraft to bomb/support you.....The F5E Tiger II.

Most of the basic forms are done.................but I have a hell of alot of refinement to the shapes. Eek!

Looks sweet!
