Will fix that later today...

Hmm.. i guess there are two possible ways to remove that feeling:
1. add more not-so-noticable details to the model itself, in cost of lower game fps
2. implement something (i though about bump mapping) from "GFX Improvment" thread, but I guess that no one is working in that direction

I dunno, you can do more texture stuff?

I still prefer the original yellow, and the model still looks very fragile, almost like a paper model. The solution is probably to use less polygons, not more, though. Adding tons of details to such a small unit will not make things a whole lot better. Might be better to fake geometry with textures than to make it explicit through modelling.

Simply because the supplied wrf files are campaign ones and the game would crash if someone will start a skirmish or mp game while using this mod as global or mp.

any new vehicles?
Return to your designated zone or be destroyed. You are in contravention of the new paradigm.

Hmmm.... I can understand that process. O_O

They're looking so much improved over the stock Pumpkin art. Wheel articulation night and day better - you can even make out the front-end axle, a real nice touch. I like what you've done with the pick-up truck too which I hadn't seen before. For some quirky reason I just flashed on Scavs making MONSTER trucks like "Big Foot" or the "Grave Digger"... but what heck, why not. Heavy equipment and ATVs too, for that matter.. The possibilities are endless really.

Regards, whip :D

I dunno. They're more detailed, but it still seems they're missing something...

Fine for my purposes ;)
I guess you need to check this page http://www.turbosquid.com/Search/3D-Mod ... itary/Jeep for pro-models...

Yep, there's only the base element for now... kinda scav propulsions. Weapons will be added separately... allowing a various scav designs.

Thanks elio, :D

The thing is that there are no 'source' for my jeep-mod, beside the files that are already in that topic... I've created all that stuff using good ol' PIESlicerDX plus Notepad and Paint.Net - so they fit wz right now.
I do like all the work that you've created and posted, but that repository(and other whishlists) thing have some negative colors for me - sounds like 'you'll never see it in wz' :|
By looking into #359 I guessed that you found it by yourself ;)

Edit: Hey whippersnapper, just thought to add your good phrase about imagination xD

Bumpers!

No really, you're not supposed to see the front wheel axis that easily.

I especially loved the "covered" variety of the jeep, it looks almost perfect :)
Current status: Sick and Learning to model in blender. Failing at both.
