KTO Rosomak (AMV Patria)

[asioasioasio]

KTO Rosomak (Kołowy Transporter Opancerzony Rosomak - Wheeled Armoured Carrier Wolverine) (based on Finnish license - Patria AMV (Advanced Modular Vehicle)). Poland uses 313 of those in an AFV version with the Italian Oto Melara 30 mm turret and 377 AMVs in various other configurations to be delivered between 2004 and 2013. All of them have the ability to swim. Some of the Polish vehicles are currently employed in Afghanistan.)

The Polish Land Forces contingent, which is a part of the International Security Assistance Force have been operating 35 KTO Rosomak vehicles (including 5 medivac) in Afganistan since 2007. The KTOs were equipped with additional steel-composite armour. In early 2008 a Polish Rosomak serving in Afghanistan (the version with upgraded armour) was attacked by Taliban rebels. The vehicle was hit three times with a RPG-7 missile but it managed to fire back and returned to base without any help required. In June 2008 a Rosomak was attacked by Talibans and was hit in its frontal armour with a RPG. The armour was not penetrated. Rosomaks have also been attacked by mines and improvised explosive devices but no vehicles have been destroyed.

Wow. Great detail in Closeups.
The skin / unit looks a bit dark - making the detail hard to spot - in small scale tho. Maybe a tiny bit lighter/more contrast skin ?

Very good Asiox3, as usual...

 

[Zerver]

Yeah! Death to liers!!
Cool unit!
BTW, in preview you shown earlier in a close view there was more sharpen grafx, I guess... But still, great!
Did you disabled MIPmaps?

absolut great , i love the immense detailwork, now i saw the pic the third time and even now i discovered a new detail. Is there really a polish flag on the tower?

@ All - Tkank you very much. I spent on this unit a lot of time - it was the hardest unit i was making so far (i lacked blueprints wich made modelling like driving from warsaw to lisbon without road map ). So I'm so happy it turned good

The skin / unit looks a bit dark - making the detail hard to spot - in small scale tho. Maybe a tiny bit lighter/more contrast skin ?

I'll try to make second version of texture a little bit brighter Looking on the photos i agree with that the skin should be a little bit lighter (i pick a colors from the photos, so it's probably civ4 that makes models darker)

going into modcast1!!

Cool

BTW, in preview you shown earlier in a close view there was more sharpen grafx, I guess... But still, great!
Did you disabled MIPmaps?

I gave more 'blur when the model is zoomed out' in settings of .dds. (mimpams i have still disabled) I was looking on the zoomed out model and imo it was shimering to much with the previous settings. I'll try to experiment with setting 'blur when the model is zoomed out' to other values

Is there really a polish flag on the tower?

Yup like for example here:
http://www.isaf.wp.mil.pl/fotogaleria/110/1183.jpg
I made flag as seperate mesh so it can be easly removed in nifskope or nifviewer. The .dds could be repainted so you can put there flag any you want (or could be changed to teamcolor i suppose)

Extraordinary! Wonderfull! at last, here it is!!!

Yeah it took ages to complete it Finally here it is - and soon of course mod adding Poland to civ would be updated

Yeah i like dark version imo (probably it's because i have lcd settuped brighter than it's recommended by producers of games . Just small digression - i wonder how the producers can see something in the game with recommended settings - because i often can't see s... in fpp games )
Yeah flags would be great way to make models more flavour

For Patria i would recommend to use different tower. The mesh (and texture) is seperate so it can be replaced with something else even in nifviewer or nifskope

 

[Zerver]

uhmmm... But why blurring? Is it neccessary?

 

[asioasioasio]

when you zoom out and moves cammera it causes shimmer.

So i clicked on "Fading MIP maps" section and made "Blend Amount" set to 40%

Setting to zero adds more detail and sharpnes, but causes shimmer. I'll experiment with different values
