UPDATE!!

as requested a long time ago by Lt. Stephenson, i made a snow skin. (its getting cold here!) also, all the nebelwerfers now have a normalmap (512x512).

there were some changes necessary in the lods. i think i made a big mistake with lod 2 (the one that should show up if you're far away)... it had more polygons than the lod0 (the one you see if you stand right next to it) :P
shame on me!

but now it's all fixed!

look:

-----------------------------------------------
as requested by miede, here comes the nebelwerfer model.

this how it looks:
(updated version with little box on the correct side)



information on models:
there are different types of models.
1x nebelwerfer_v01_upper.mdl
1x nebelwerfer_v01_lower.mdl
1x nebelwerfer_v01_full.mdl
1x nebelwerfer_v01_projectile.mdl

the third one is ready to go. place and forget.

the first two are separate models, which will allow you, to rotate the upper part of the nebelwerfer.
place the lower part on gridsize 32, then position the upper part on gridsize 2. (it fits and rotates perfect)

the fourth one is the projectile of the nebelwerfer. place it as prop_physics.
(yeah, i know it looks like a sex toy ;)

all the models have 3 lods.
lod0 = 5916 polys | distance 0-60
lod1 = 3665 polys | distance 60-90
lod2 = 1750 polys | distance 90-

oh, and the model has 3 skins, but you've seen the pic...

Thank you so much!

looks nice! il ne using this on teh map im workin on now

looks good man!

Nice job. I took at the model with a technical viewpoint and can't find anything really to complain about. There are a few things that I would of done differently but thats just personal preference.

Texture could use maybe a little more contrast and maybe a low res normal map to give some depth to the dinks but otherwise nothing to fault!

Good job!

good job, although I don't like the camo on the grey skin.

The muddy tires is a damn nice touch & adds a lot to the look, imho.
Looks awesome. :)

It honestly looks like the dev team updated it for source.

thank you very much :)

jed: normalmaps would be a good addition, you're right. i never have made one of those, so i have to see if i can make some.
any good tutorials by the short hand?

crap wish I had seen this before you released it

yargh, wrong side?? :/

Make a greyscale bump map and convert it. Use RGB 128,128,128 as a base and then darker shades towards black for depressions and lighter shades towards white for elevation.

updated the model.
box is now on the correct side.
please download the model again and replace the old modelfiles with the new ones.

thanks wile e.
its never to late to fix a bug ;)

hmm i have a missing texture ?

but nice model ! more mapmodels plz thx

very sorry :///

made a mistake with folder names..
please redownload again.....

no problemos ;)

works now

how about a snow one?

Very nice! I might use these as a tank replacement in dod_anvil if I can work out the layout in the map so it's at least plausible. Researching now...

good job

(and I am the picky type)

I did a quick setup to see if they would work...I'll probably use the two-piece deal to get a greater angle on the weapon but here's a quick compile w/them in as axis one:

thanks for your work.
im sure mappers will make good use of it!

:mad: Fuzzdad is too quick on the draw. Right when i thought my map would implement new material, FuzzDads hotness comes in my way.

Hey! There's more than enough hotness to go around...I'll bet, with a little work, you could make these puppies blow up (or sorta blow up) by using combinations of entities. I need to start working on the icons next...

BTW...I'll bet we'll get additional models released to us when they release the new map...we already know about the 3d skybox animated b17...you have to think there's a Sherman tank or some other American vehicle/tank/whatever coming as well.

Yeah, I just set up a whole bunch of entities tied to a func_button. Unfortunately the func_button wasnt being toggled for some reason. I had all my outputs set up for env_explosions, the old dod 1.3 nebelwerfer sound, env_shake, and a dust cloud in the back. So without the button being able to be toggled I got no result for anything. Hmm, needs more testing.

just wondering, did you use the one or two piece version?

now that sounds like a setup!
can't wait to see it in action :)

Nice work on the model mate looks bloody good :)

I'm sure someone could use a func_train or something to make the projectiles 'fly' toward their intended target or at least simulate it :) The joys of being able to parent things :)

Verythign works now. Justs need a little tweaking. I will try adding the flying projectiles tomorrow. If i do add them I will just show them leaving the nebelwerfer btu not falling down. I doubt I will add them though because in real life they shot out pretty damn fast considereing they were rocket propelled.

You'd still be able to see them for less then a second whilst they rush off to kill some poor sod. But I was more thinking of makng the rockets fly in hammer not through animations in the actual model file :)

i just want to say... wow nj on those

honestly, i may use them if i ever get around to mapping (and i want to :P)

Great work!

UPDATE! read first post :)

The nebelwerfers look stupendous with the normal maps. And that's a big mistake! :D

Quality work. I think. Well, they look damn good to me anyway!
