Thanks Rabbit.

Any idea why it shows so dark in game? I have yet to mess with lighting in max...

Hmm, I haven't looked at it in detail but when you export you should uncheck the light and cameras boxes, that way whatever light you have in max shouldn't affect it.

you can just cut the bombard you made in half and point the barrel up more and you should have a mortar.

here is another pic from the game cossacks...

This should be an easy model to skin if you've skinned anything before. Basically everything that is gold/yellow can be swapped for a different color in the one dds file. If you need help skinning I think there are tuts around or maybe I'll whip up a darker skin later on tonight.

I thought this was the seige gun

 

[woodelf]

I didn't bother with the engraving...

No what I mean it is different than cmhwak's

If you want to make it lighter you can play with the material propriety (specularyty, diffuse, ambiance ...) in the nif viewer, I would probably do it if my nif viewer was working.

 

[woodelf]

Damn Roland, it still isn't working. I wish I could give you mine since I don't use it!

 

[Rabbit, White]

Did you set up the material properties properly, i.e. exactly according to the Firaxis documentation?

 

[woodelf]

I set up the materials exactly as I have been for whatever that's worth.

someone had requested a mortar in this post and that is another pic of one id like to see. i was also talking abut another unit he made... the bombard... both of the things we were speaking about actually have nothing to do with this model

 

[seZereth]

nice one woodelf, hope you keep looking for polys and try to get the best efficency (low poly, high coolness )

But well forget about polys, those are damn cool!

 

[woodelf]

Thanks seZ. Cutting out polys on a cylinder can give some really strange results.

The wood sides are low poly so that helps.

New version with animations found here.

I forgot to get Gunner to send me his new dds skins so this has my crappy default skin job sadly.

 

[C.Roland]

I Will redo a new skin if you want.

Bless you Roland. Do you need bmp again instead of dds? Have you downloaded the DXTBmp program instead of the DDS converter2? I always had troubles with the latter, but the DXTBmp converter is golden. I think they are both in the same How-to-Skin tutorial.
