MikeyPI Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 What he means is it looks like a blunt-nosed truck atm, there is not enough "curvature" to the front-to-side transition to represent a proper curve. You need to add more rows of polygons on the corner to make the curve more gradual and less sharp. I've included 3 more examples with the curvature lines highlighted in thick gray to go on top of itch's first one. So you have 4 different examples of the varying curvatures to represent. My first two examples have minor curves since the trucks are relatively squared, the last example has a much more gradual curve as does itch's. Your vehicle you're doing I should think would be closer to my third and itch's example than the mack and freightliner that I used in the first two examples. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RestingVermin Posted July 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 Here is the nearly done model. About 2737 polys. There will be a bit more than that. Just have a issue. The lights doesn't show up in the 3D view. I have extruded it out a bit. As well as the body entrance and the steps in the back is barely visible. I have extruded that inside as you can see on the picture don below. I did some curvature but nothing too much. On the back it is supposed to be a bit ''sharp'' on the ends. I just need to get a little bit more details in and what ever you guys gives me feedback on. What do you think about the poly amount for example?

itchboy Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 Go to Surface ->Normals->Calculate and make sure you are in either polygon or vertice mode. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RestingVermin Posted July 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) This is the complete model of the Ferrara heavy rescue truck that the FDNY is using! Made completely by me. I can't thank Itchboy and MikeyPI enough for answering my questions and the feedback for improvements that they have been giving me! Thank you very much! So now it's just to get the UV mapping and just model the 2 doors. After that I will start on a new model. Will probably be the brand new KME engines that the FDNY has been getting recently. And again, I take suggestions on what FDNY/NYPD units you want to see and I will take it into consideration! Thank you! Polys: 3134 (Has been scaled down) Edited July 4, 2016 by RestingVermin Updated poly count Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RestingVermin Posted July 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 UPDATE Rescue model is now fully complete as a model. UV mapping is done and it's just to get it in game and get the doors and wheels on. Then I will show you all how it looks. I have now started on my second model and that is the Brand New Field Comm 1 unit. Description of the Field Communications unit (Field Comm) This unit is the unit that responds on a 10-77, 10-60 or a 2nd alarm and higher to help with communications with the dispatcher. They get orders from the highest ranking on scene to transmit any message they got to the dispatcher. The unit contains of 2 dispatchers and 1 firefighter. (In game 2 firefighters that will be added with the correct uniform) Now I hope it is okay with Dyson I will rename the Submodification to Modification since there will be a lot of new models! Thank you everybody for your support and don't forget that I take suggestions for models into consideration! So leave a suggestion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not good at scripting at all so if I don't learn more about it (highly unlikely) then I would need help from someone who is willing to help. So if there is anyone then yes I would like to get some new scripts in. What scripts? I don't know yet but leave suggestions! 7 hours ago, 59955_1453496446 said: I can help you please PM me PM on the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RestingVermin Posted July 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Just a little preview! This side needs some tweaks here and there. I'd say that I'm about half done with the model. Need to model the front and back and it should be good. I have modeled the other side as well! (Just copied the cab!) Model: KME Engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me, I cant play MP so I always love spawning mods. In single player yes they will spawn in their respective stations. I haven't really done anything to the map after I started modelling so my number 1 priority is to get the models done first I get this weird thing tat when I have closed zmodeler and saved my project it will pop up a window saying if I want to run the programm as hardware or some other things. And when I press any of them it crashes. I then re installed zmodeler and when I opened my model it was gone. That happened to the Field Comm and that happened to the KME Engine. Luckily the KME enigne had a auto save but it was long before the last update I posted. So this is a issue that will make it slower for me because I pretty much need to do things twice :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RestingVermin Posted July 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 I am happy to announce that 59955_1453496446 will make it so that you can call in alarms from the chief. The KME engine is coming along very well. Front and sides are done now it's just the top and back and then just to get it UV mapped then it's done. When this is done this will be a major step since most of the engines will use it. There will however be some Seagraves as well. Al the way from 2003 to 2012. I might include a Mack or two for like a ladder and a spare rescue if you'd like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
