Tiger Tank

[sharick]

Another tank for all WW2 modders. Hope you like it. No animations probably until SDK.
Available in 3 camos - grey, tan and yellow.

Screenshots:
Tiger grey
Tigar tan
Tiger yellow

Thanks to Combat Mission modders (Gautrek and others) for nice textures.

EDIT: Fixed turret and minor texture changes, new screens.
EDIT: I managed to change XML. You can load it as a mod now.
UPDATE: 3rd camo added - yellow. Separate textures.

Important: Rename the file extension form .zip to .rar before extracting.

Simply gorgeous... keep up the fine work!

Stunning. How did you do those tanks tracks? Are the models tracks as complicated as they look or did you just do a clever skinning job? Anyway, it looks great.

 

[Paasky]

Looking good

How about

Wespe
88mm AT/AA Gun
Panzer (t)38
Panzer II
Panzer II-F
Panzer III
Panzer III-H
Panzer IV
Panzer IV-F
Panzer IV-H
Panzer V 'Panther'
Panzer VI-B 'King Tiger'
StuG III
Marder III
Jagdpanzer IV

I'd think a Sherman m4 would be more in place.

Excellent model btw, nice skins too.

 

[Paasky]

The default tank is a Sherman. And the Panzer is a Panther, so that's allready done too.

 

[Sahkuhnder]

Wow, beautiful work. Those look superb!

The default tank is a Sherman. And the Panzer is a Panther, so that's allready done too.

I stand corrected.

 

[Warmaker]

A suggestion if I may?

The turret of your Tiger IE is too large. Maybe cut the size of it by 1/3 or 1/4. It will also make the cannon look big like it really was

That beast of steel rules!!!

How did you do those tanks tracks?

The tracks have a simple model it's mostly texturing job. I used this texture. Converted to dds but before I changed white to transparent so it gives a little bit of illusion.

The turret of your Tiger IE is too large

Whole turret is not too big but it should be smaller in front. I'll fix it but hope it won't mess up my texture coordinates.
There're other inacurracies and parts missing but I wanted to keep the model as simple as possible. It's good for the game and requires less work

All suggestions appreciated.

real nice again sharick! Also loved the Jagdpanther. But I also must agree with warmaker on the turret(the front is way too big) and on the gun barrel.

Would also suggest other units in addition to Paasky's list:
Panther II (E-50)
Löwe (E-75)
Maus (E-90)
E-100

Looking good

well

 

[Paasky]

That list is copied from my WWII Europe unitlist ( http://koti.mbnet.fi/pjvuorio/wwii_unitlist.txt ) that's why it's there. But I stand corrected too

And the Maus I might still add into WWII:SFB, let's see. It was in the civ3 version.

 

[sharick]

Ok, turret fixed. Now do you want animations or new models? Both will come later.

 

[Aquilius]

Yep that looks much better! have you also updated the downlaod files yet?

 

[snafusmith]

I agree! Much better! Any chance you could send me your textures? I'm making a Tiger I as well, but with more polys (I like the high poly models better).

[sharick]

The textures aren't mine I just tweaked them where needed and mapped them on models with UVW unwarp modifier. I got them from http://www.cmmods.com/ and here's the list of bmp files you need http://members.shaw.ca/grossdeutschland/modvehicle.htm.

 

[Paasky]

Could you get the models from CM too? That would be a hay-day for WWII stuff, as then it would require a few imports, then exports, and its ready.

 

[sharick]

That would be awesome. Maybe with this http://ogle.eyebeamresearch.org/?
