This new dumb bomb is 1/2 the size of our current 500 pound Laser Guided Bombs in the mod and as such, dose 1/2 as much damage. Also since its also a dumb bomb, its going to be all up to the pilot to get this baby on target as there is no guidance system to help it.

This bomb took me under 1hr to model, including all the LODs and cols and was textured by [R-DEV]Spush, with the testing and code tweaking done by [R-CON]Jafar Ironclad.

Not a very big update but thought you guys might like it all the same as its going to give a new twist to some jets in the future ;)

Couple of months ago, I was cleaning old hard drives, deleting and reorganising old stuff... during this process I found some pics of my first models in 3D Studio 4 (DOS :) ). Dont remember exactly when I actually began with 3D CG, but the pics were saved in the year 1997...

I started thinking that it would be nice to make a weapon for this 15 years anniversary of my 3D work. A friend has been insisting that I make some weapons for a BF2 mod of our armed forces, so I agreed and this is what came out :)

Nothing huge but thought I would share this anyways. Created some a new Rubber Matting road for use in main bases which is pretty common in many Camps and FOBs in Afghanistan due to the ground getting really muddy in the winter out there so this is to prevent everyone having to wade around in the mud :D

I started off with a high poly model as I didn't have any decent refs to turn strait into a texture:

And then baked that down into a 2D texture :)

And then made a couple of new road templates out of it and here's the result :D

Here's an updated minimap and a few screenshots of a Bastion (which is around 1700m x 1200m at its widest and longest points) in its current state:



An editor shot to show the full base (a large part of Bastion is in the surrounding terrain to save on space whilst still giving the impression of a larger base):


A few ingame shots:

(ignore the black patches to the right, the runway will be fixed with shaders etc in the future)








(please note that the tower in the image below is just a placeholder, as are the concrete barriers)














So what's next? Some more performance tweaks whilst I await Rhino's 'IKEA store' to finish manufacturing all its goods XD (New IKEA Store Opening in Helmand! - Project Reality Forums), then it'll be compounds, final details including all the new fields, final terrain tweaks, FOB buildings and cabling work, gamemodes, lightmaps etc, and finally on to testing :) ]]> http://www.realitymod.com/forum/blogs/6432/b302-bastion-surrounding-terrain-pretty-much-done.html PR Gameplay Videos Part 10 http://www.realitymod.com/forum/blogs/4326/b301-pr-gameplay-videos-part-10.html Wed, 12 Oct 2011 02:26:37 GMT *Welcome to another set of Project Reality gameplay videos!* If you want to know how I make these videos, check this blog post...

Ray Bradbury:
Quote:
People are idiots. They made a lot of stupid things: costumes for dogs, marketing managers and stuff like the iPhone, getting nothing but a sour aftertaste. If we'd worked to develop science, explore the Moon, Mars and Venus... who knows what the world would have been like? Humanity would be able to travel through space, but it chose consuming instead - drinking beer and watching soap operas.
Few days after world lost the greatest inventor of modern times, dust is finally set and smoke cleared so we could think about it without unnecessary emotions. And if you will do so, it'll turn out that everyone could live full intellectual, social and informational life without any of Steve Jobs' inventions. And it's not just because Jobs didn't actually invent personal computer, computer mouse or multi-touch, problem lays deeper. So let's look into this deep.

50 years ago words "21st century" sounded like magic, humanity just went through most terrifying war in history, rebuilt the world and made first steps from our cradle planet into infinity of space. 21st century promised, no, it guaradamnteed, coming of real Future. Future of energies previously unseen, mastered by people, new people, capable for great deeds and daring to discover new breathtaking horizons. 20th century was full of expectations, some of them were naive like Marty Mcfly's sneakers and hovering board from 2015 but those were signs of great things to come: space travels, instant education, cold fusion, universal cure, global communication and much more.

While we were expecting this Real Future, along came our present. Time when progress doesn't make humanity able to do more, but to do less and feel no frustration about it! Time when people worship super thin phones and computer pads with rounded angles instead of real innovations. The pseudofuture, the Suckfuture.

In the Real Future man will build bases on Moon and Mars, ecological cities and spaceports on Earth. In Suckfuture man takes photo of himself near business skyscraper in Dubai and MMSing photo to his friend in London, he also could edit photo so it will look like everything is under water and fishes are swimming around. Wow!

In the Real Future man will learn all human languages and cultures, he will able to quote Sheakspeare and discuss learnings of Plato as an equal. In Suckfuture man learns 1337 speak and forgets how to write without mistakes, Microsoft Word will correct everything. Wow!

In the Real Future man will be ready to meet and greet advanced alien civilizations. In Suckfuture people tell the whole world through social networks and YouTube about how unsatisfied and desperately lonely they are. Wow!

People who lived in 1950s and 1960s would have laughed their asses off if they knew that in future people would fear end of world from zombie apocalypse and Maya prophecy much more than nuclear war. But just like the real Future, thermonuclear menace is not gone, it will return, maybe decades later.

Now, in times of global crisis, world of Suckfuture with it's smoke and mirrors techniques slowly fades away. What we will learn from it? Probably not much, maybe that Steve Jobs, man of great determination and perfectionism, wasn't Da Vinci of our time, but man who gave us perfected work tools for our age. Tools that will help us to bring the Real Future faster, not to hide from it. And that he was also guy who wasn't afraid to tell truisms in public:

YouTube Video

I hope we will also see how group of talented individuals united under banners of Project Reality will also bring their vision into reality. They will work on it, I know :)
