i try to complete the request i accepted, so here is the Tiger

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurocopter_Tiger

the model has 1182 vertices, 1207 triangels and a 256 teamcolour skin

because of the rear rotor i had to change the gunship animation to a tiger animation (so link to the included tiger.kfm)

scale for picture was 0,36

there are two minor issues i´m aware, the gunship animations fires with guns, my tiger has no gun :rolleyes: [idea: move the fire effect to the wings, comments?] and the rear rotor seems not excat centered to his rotating axis (i think i saw somethink like this, if it disturbs i will look after it) [solved 03.05., see download or post 7 for details]

wo wo woooooo!!! great... Now You could do the italian copter Mangusta!!! :D :goodjob:

If it's possible to do, I'd try to use the sub's torpedo animations, so it looks like it's launching missiles at the target, if you are going to fix the amimations to look prettier. There is a mod tool here for editing animations you could probably use to make that work.

I didn´t even know, anyone noticed my request ;)

It´s an awesome model. I really like it. Thanks for your time and work it was not in vein.

Looks like i´ll have a nice time using it in my mod :goodjob:

And is there a chance for seeing a Marder made by you, too? :D Would be great, as I see the quality of your models.

great model!

Nicely done!!

thanks :),

i replaced the file with a new version, now it fires rockets when attacking and i think the rear rotor issue is solved, also raised glossines to get reduce the shiny effect.

and now i can say it´s my 30 unit ;)

Beautiful! :cool:

It´s a nice animation, something different than anything else^^

huh? whered you get the missiles? :confused:
Nice one again btw! Was wondering why no one had made one and was almost starting on it myself.. :)

huh? whered you get the missiles? :confused:


lend them from the jet fighter :mischief: ... (changed the effect in the animation)

do you cut and paste stuff like that with nifviewer? because i dont have it. :(

you have to change the aniamtion, give me "5" minutes and i will make an update to http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=271331

Ok :D ..My next question would have been, can you do teamcolor without nifviewer? :p

the nifviewer is in realty the sceneviewer from the maxpackage: http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=10

works as stand alone. if you want to move the .exe file to a new folder don´t forget the boundShape.nif (i work with a shortcut) and i also only add nif, not load them.

oh and i thought i need Max, very good, thanks! :D

Have you tried using a glossmap instead?

Have you tried using a glossmap instead?

after reading Refars tutorial (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=245363), i think no model made by me support a gloss map :( (no model has a skin instance, therefor even my first models with gloss map don´t "use" them), there seems to be a way (iirc dutchking used it by his models), but i hadn´t the time to figure it out

wo wo woooooo!!! great... Now You could do the italian copter Mangusta!!! :D :goodjob:

Yes KrugerPritz!!! This model is similar looking to the Mangusta:D http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-129_Mangusta.
Missles on side are also like the anti-tank Mangusta


This unit is awesome Coyote, tnx!! :goodjob: Mangusta shouldn't be too tough lol;)

Hi,

I've done some small changes to the tiger. The most significant change is the new attack animation. Just give it a try.

The skin in the zip was made by bernie14.

What changed did you make to the attack animation?

What changed did you make to the attack animation?

From what I noticed, the sounds were different and the attack looked like a laser or like nightfire...

What's a nightfire? I'm guessing it's something onther than just a fire at night.

What's a nightfire?

I didnt really know how else to explain it, other than like a laser

Im not sure what ThomasSG intended on this.

Tracer rounds as seen through night vision goggles?
"My eyes! The goggles do nothing!"

I've done the following

- lighten up the model (not the texture)
- bigger main rotor
- new position over ground
- new attack animation

- no more a crowd of missiles, uses mechinf attack animtion
- new fire sequence, 3 instead of 6 blasts
- simultaneous left and right blast
- new attack angel, 3 instead of 20 degree, looks better in game

Thomas SG, does this new NIF & KFM work with Bernie's re-skins (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=275391)?

Yes of course. As you can see at the screen I'm also using bernie14's reskins. By the way fantastic job, too. :goodjob: Just replace the dds as usual.

Which nif should we use? "Kopie von tiger.nif" or "Kopie (2) von tiger.nif" or "tiger.nif"?

Oh, sorry. Please use tiger.nif!!! The others are just safety copies that I made while in progress. I forgot to delete them. :D
