its the Sturmpanzer IV Brummbär Sd. Kfz. 166, self propelled howitzer

its about 425 odd polys... is that too little? too much? just right?

i also need help skinmeshing it if ya could help i'd be grateful :)

so, what do yas think?

oh yeah i plan to have an animated version so on cue it the barrel moves and the whole tank rocks back a little bit so it looks like its firing :D

can you add muzzleflashes to map models like you can with player weapon models?

i think you can add muzzleflashes to map models because in para_glider the flakk 88's had them

get me some refs and Ill skin it (btw is this for a snow map? I smell a new addition to my snow camo pack...)

Actually the mapper adds them separately by using a sprite entity.

Its cute :D

Sorry but I cant mesh. I can get started on this maybe next week, unfortunately we are working on a huge research report, for maybe the next two weeks, but after that I'm totally free. whenever you send me it plz send the model, that way i can check out my progress(sometimes I get those 3ds thingies, and then i can't do anything with em)

great work, i really like the Brummbär

hrhr quite cool name

Looking real nice, can't wait to see what that looks like skinned. Hopefully it'll get put to good use in a map. Also, yes you can attach a muzzleflash to be called on by the animation, but I'm gonna guess that it's better to do it with the map than the model, though I don't have any mapping experience.

That looks pretty damn good. I like the armour plates on the sides lol Can't wait to see this done.

Mabye you could make it to replace the tanks in V1.0?

Ska

pretty sweet! thats one thing we dont see enough of around here is map models. Gj

im still lookin for a skin mesher... the thing wont skinmesh itself ya know :D :p

send the msd file my way and I'll try to get it done for ya.

i might skin it if its meshed

.msd you mean .ms3d yeah? if so ill send it this arvo :)

sent it to the email in your sig joe :)

i decided not to animate it first off... ill do it at a later date... basically a matter of "couldnt be "#$%^ed" atm :D

got the file and am in the process of meshing it in between my move to a new place. weekend hopefully it will be done.
