F 35 JSF ( requested)

[nautil]

Ok, here the outcome of my first attempt in creating modern air unit - F 35 joint strike fighter. To say the truth, i'd never choose to make modern plane myself, with my current skill at modeling , it's much more difficult ot build comparing to simple WWII aircrafts. In addition those contemporary units don't have this gorgeous and vivid colors as those of 40's that i like so much. But it was requested by GarretSidzaka and i had to give it a try. What has made my task even harder is that there is almost no info and decent pictures of this brand new american plane, i didn't even had proper 3d view. So please don't get too disappointed by this model ,especially by it's texture
So here render ( it looks a little overbrightened, but in game everything is ok),screen and zip archive.

P.S next in line Focke-Wulf 190a

I'd say there's really nothing to be disappointed about.

You are the Aircraft

Great work nautil.

 

[C.Roland]

It's really nice

The library of planes and vehicles is fast growing. I can't wait to see a mod that uses all these units to implement the entire modern armies of some civs as completely made up of unique units.

Now what about ships? Who's going to take that challange?

Good job nautil! Now all we need is a bi-plane and we will have four generations of fighters....

 

[Rabbit_Alex]

That looks quite lovely How about an F-22A next? They're my favorite American fighter besides the F-16, which the game's original fighter is based on.

F35 looks vey similar to F22, maybe then i finish my current planes i'll try to change it to look more like the aircraft you asked for.

It looks pretty good, the only thing I see that could be a little off is around the nose of the plane.

that is georgeous thank you thank tou thank you

going into mod tonite!

 

[GarretSidzaka]

i just realized i have no clue how to install a new model as a unit....crap!

can someone help?

 

[Rabbit_Alex]

If you want this model to override the default jet fighter unit, here's what you do:

Extract the files to the customassest/art/units/jetfighter folder (you'll have to make the folder).
Rename jsf.nif to jetfighter.nif.
Rename f35textural.dds to jetfighter_256.dds.

Please someone correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[GarretSidzaka]

thats okay for casual users, but i have a mod and a specific unitinfo for f-35
what do i do to make an entire new unit in a mod with this model?

 

[Rabbit_Alex]

Here's a tutorial.

If you are planning to do F18, here is a little help
It is a 3ds max file that i downloaded from http://www.max-realms.com/modules/wmpdownloads/
you will find other models there as well that are free. you just have to register there.
models just need to be adapted for the civ game and exported accordingly

Anyway, great job

 

[Crighton]

Damn, good choices for that list.

I'd also like to see an F-18 (it's my fav.)

as well as the Suhkoi S37

sorry, best pics I could find.

[GarretSidzaka]

Thank you, pictures are quite alright. I got very interested in suhoi 37, especially its uncommon airfoil design, i''l certainly attempt to made one. But now i have full list of WWII aircrafts, then i'm done with them i'll start with SU37.
