erm...Where is the Harrier? This is the only sim I'm soooo looking forward to beside Lomac add-ons.
Speaking in Harriers, the HMS Hermes finally got its uv-mapping done, I did a lot of work over it the past weeks but now it's ready for the paint job at Marcfighter's hands: And here, the HMS Invincible is being built, starting from the hull:

[stupid] That's not interesting, I want to see how the sheep are modeled[/stupid] More seriously, these aircraft carriers are real beauties. I can't wait seen them with textures :p P.S. Btw, some sheep on the Malvinas/Falklands would be cool to see. Seriously

Seriously CHT, I'm modelling a sheep farm to populate the (now) completely desert landscape we have - you know, farming in the Falkland Islands is a monoculture, the product being wool. So, the 3D models to be created are ranchs, barns, farmhouse, fences, and of course, sheeps and the shepherd's horses - these last two depend on a simple but effective anim method that Steve created a while ago (mesh swap), and also little AI to wander around - Steve once said it'd worth the hassle, so lets do it. Ah, yes, Ariel Cancio does the hull modelling in Nurbs style, and other very rounded things too (like the Skyhawks rounded lines) - we work this way: I do a pre-model of the warship, only with polygons (low poly) that could be used for a low LOD - then Ariel Cancio takes over with his Nurbs modelling skills and add the roundness of the hull. But the superestructure is simple polygons usually - the budget for warships is around 10k polys, and the engine is not complaining too much, hopefully - it runs well on very mid to low spec hardware like Athlon 1600s and GeForce 3.

Have you got the Harrier FM sorted yet? I.e, can it take off vertically at this point, and so on?
In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!

Originally posted by semmern: Would it be too much trouble to make a short video showing a Harrier landing vertically? After all, that is the plane we're all waiting for This probably would be a good idea. Dante or somebody has to provide the relevent models in the new scheme we use to make it look right.. but for fun we could pretend a skyhawk was a harrier? the skyhawk is our most complete air model. at the moment though priority is centered on ships - getting the ships to have fancy radars and stuff turning about and the lift systems for the aircraft carriers. as well as the defence systems for ships like AAA and SAM. So no promises on a harrier movie. but one will be coming at some point. Infact we may have neglected the harrier a little because of a tendency to focus on jets that we have accurate documentation for: We've had a hard time getting any sort of docs for the sea harrier used in the falklands. The american varients are easy to get docs for though -but they're all modern age avionics. so if anybody has details on how and how it looked - the sea harriers avionics - we'd be pleased to receive them. anyway.. ships that rock about in the sea: Yes of course.

Looks great! That is more than enough texturing for you to make a Harrier video
