looking forward to see what approach you guys used for the tracks
BMD-1 👏🏾
Very good to see I'm very excited
I guess its some sort of APC/Tank.. but all I see is the tracks and wheels on the rock. :p
It's a BMP potentially 2-3 based on it's turret config
It’s a 3 you can tell by the chassis it’s more blocky than previous bmps
It is not either of those things it's a BMD-1
The 3 is too wide to be that
It’s a bmp 3 look at the front of the photo then look at a bmd the bmp 3 has some step like armor on the front the bmd doesn’t
That's due to the bmp's being amphibious unlike the bmd's
I keep looking at various photos and tbh now I am really quite unsure.
I'm just gonna wait for strider to say what it is
@sweet folio
BMP 3 with 100mm atgm or HE
And 30mm
The btr 3 have 6 wheels the bmd have 5
we could get more lav with tracks if striders gets this to work
If it works then pandora's box is open and tank warfare is imminent
it looks like a bmp 1 or PT76
I'm going to spoil the fun here. It's a reworked A2 BMP-3.
Thanks Ben lol
Honestly be that as it may, it'll be a fearsome, yet welcome addition to the tank mod(s) in future reference
Will it be amphibious?
I figured I should do something russian
And yes it will be amphibious
Are you planning to make any russian light armoured vehicles like the tigr or the typhoon in the near future @tawdry mist ? Btw the bmp3 looks sick.
Not planning on anything really
I would need models for them anyway
I’ve honestly been thinking about setting up a patreon or something similar to help me fund models
Do it i wpuld support you
its a bmp 3 early model. alot of blind people here :S
if strider figures out the tracks he could create any vehicle that has tracks
Honestly assuming they get permission anyone can
yea if strider lets people have the tracks code yea we could have tank mods popping off or apc with tracks
We need arty / rocket artillery
someone is making that i forgot who
Yeap... BI needs to fix this... Rendering for entities it's ridiculously short right now...
Omg i want mortars
Speaking of which, do you think we can get the base code for this stuff so people can remodel it, and add some new hitboxes, to basically mass produce Armor mods using your breakthrough code?
yes you can open anyone's mod so no worries
I'll see about making a core mod for it
This looks great, I have 5 tanks or so waiting for tracks, so cheers to you for paving the way!
Tanks are gonna be so fun
Honestly much more interested in t55s/72a's and m60s
m1a2 freebrams vs t90
Meh nah to advanced for the time period, at most an m1 105 Abrams
Agreed
I'm just content to be here lmao
The moment in time tank treads and their vehicles additions become listed
Still insane we are getting tanks and really advanced stuff, before someone makes a standalone m240 mod
not for us who rp modern
I do aswell, but vehicles in the time period should come first as they require less stuff to be modeled and would allow molders to work out kinks with tank mechanics
Tank models with interiors are expensive. The resources available for a solid test bed people can enjoy but that still include interiors are very limited.
It takes me about 100 hours for a decent tank with decent interior x $30/hr is $3k for your average modeler. A basic tank with just exterior, probably around 10 hours
Yes k said this already in an earlier post
10 hours? lol
My guy, mass produce base vehicles, and add the interiors after my friending
Pull an Arma 3 and basically just take screenshots of the actual interiors and use that as the interior texture
Don't have to have fully functional internal autoloading systems and stuff, just some seats and a joystick or two for the gunner/driver to move their thing and youre golden
Long as it looks amazing on the outside I don't think people give a fuck
ballin in money if ur were pay
We spend most of our time in 3rd person anyway
I prefer servers with third person disabled
It balances 80% of issues with vehicles
I wish that when you're in vehicles it's locked to first person anyways, since that alone would balance the BTR vs HMMWV situation
for 400 I will make all the bmp3 variants and interior
600, for all main BMP variants, an M113, and a Bradley
Set up a Kofi or Patreon or some shit and set a goal, and you'll meet it by the end of the month
Bmp1, 2, 3, Bradley, M113, with the ability to turn out on the last one
I'd gladly pay that on my next paycheck
nah 400 just for the model and just for bmp3's it would be better than what BI has done even then that is really under valued with labor time
Damn
Having 3 BMPs, 4 BTRs, three US APCs, and new mods coming out for tanks right after that, and that alone could cover most of the most used vehicles out there
On a side note do you think RHS will add those exact things to Status Quo? Now that Tracks have been cracked, they can add a shit ton of vehicles and vehicle variants
And knowing them, after Status Quo, they'll go for some US Armed Forces shit to balance it out lmao
$400 for one is a good price. Especially if he is including the interior. I mean depending on the license he offers with it if you want the deed of rights(You own the IP) to it then he could even charge you $1000+. Quality models are not cheap in any way. Especially if you want to own it 100%.
if you'd want to get one made for you specifically then it's impossible in less than 4 digits
less to own one and more to just have one for the community in general
I mean it depends on the level of quality you'd expect but yeah
Again, having a shit ton of armored vehicles to play with would make the game leagues better
Right now its just 3 BTRs and a budget US BTR
I was looking at some model pack with like 20 military vehicles for 1 grand but I doubt it had interiors
then you also have to put a ton of time to make it compatible with the game
I saw that too on CGT and you're right, there are no interiors
Not to mention all the time it takes to get materials and UV correct and efficient, along with LODs, colliders and memory points, never mind character animations
i would say the M1A1 would be more realistic
This is 1989
The M1 itself wasn't fielded until like, 85, much less experimental prototypes of it
Thats why i the M1A1 would be realistic
burning rubber
i wonder if bi is going support track stuff
Eventually they will I'm sure
Honestly I'm excited to see tracks alone considering what was mentioned about tank treads before. Amazing work! Can't wait for it to be tested
I just gotta finish writing the stuff for the tracks to animate correctly, might take a little bit of time.
Take your time as well. We can wait (sorta) lol
Well I may have figured it out faster than i thought
How did u get dis?
ig he’s helping strider out
Are you favored by the code good sir?
are they moving backwards or forwards?
messing with my brain
is the figure spinning to the left or right? I remember that image 
maybe its both
counter-clockwise
the tank is going "forward" in the image
Thats not a tank
@worthy comet I don't care whats technical name is.
the "tank" is going "forward" in the image
anti clockwise
guess we'll just make it a t-72 and call it a day

nah thats a merkava 67b
thats what it is
Nice Abrams.
Is it uv anim, proc, or part of a "blender anim"?
tracks
As much as id like it to be a part of a "blender anim" it's actually uv.
@tulip grove There's no convenient way to control them though
Do you mean visually or physically?
Visually
:D.
Any news?
Is there anywhere I can see some of your interiors?
