hi everyone.

some people in the forums mentioned their need of destroyed vehicles.

so here's a little preview of the first one i made. its the jeep, hit by something in the side.. tank or panzerfaust or something similar.
note: its a modified default jeep, which came with argentan.

look:

(yes, i found out how to turn on shadows in modelviewer :P )

it's as good as done.
i need to do the collisionmesh and the lods.

tell me what you think! and please, post some reference of destroyed vehicles hit by something in this thread (http://www.dayofdefeat.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=60958)

Absolutely Amazing work. Great job.

Absolutely astounding!

Amazing, but why is there no damage of the lacquer?

hmm, you mean scratches and stuff or more some rusty parts?

Is that the default DoD jeep re-modelled or did you make it yourself?

excellent work!

Looks nice.

Awsome!!

it's the default. i crushed it a little and changed some uv's to make the destruction one sided only.

and thank you all for the comments!


i'll add more scratches in my skin.

i also heard pm-rumors, that someone is going to make another skin for it :P


a little preview:
if noone stops me, i'll do damaged versions of the following vehicles in the next weeks:
222
kubelwagen
tigertank
nebelwerfer

i also have to try out how much work a burnt out version would be.

Great job.
Why dont you restore some models... The ones we have now are a bit damaged already, but not to that extent.

Looks sweet.:)

Hmm O.K. To be honest, the UV could be re-worked to save some texture memory too.

Its only a few parts (tyre, spring) that are normal mapped - if you moved them to a second, smaller texture and the normal mapped parts with them, you'd save texture memory because about 85% of the current normal map is just empty space.

yes, i was kindof shocked to see the normalmap half empty. looks like someone run out of time before it got released :/

...actually, i planned on doing some addition on the normalmap.
especially some scratches and dirty parts should work pretty well...

Ah well in that case, yes, that would work.

Still, I'm a bit of a Nazi when it comes to saving system resources! :D

You could still move the tyre and spring to a seperate texture to retain the 1:1 relationship between the normal and UV and then use a normal map 1/2 or 1/4 the size of the main texture for dinks and scratches.

Saying that, its a fairly common trick to use a texture half the size of the original for damage models anyway.
