The vehicle is rather high, so it will be very easy to see the bottom. I tried to keep it minimal at first but it looked wrong, compared with pictures of the vehicle. I didn't have a good view of the bottom, but I think I got the main componants down.

The vehicle is almost entirely to scale from looking at reference pics.

I have no idea how to unwrap the model, but there are some guides I will look at. As for skinning I think I will give it a shot, or let a volunteer do it once I unwrap.

Tri count: 5,776

Oops, I forgot to add the mirrors and wipers. Spare tires added too.



I am going to lower poly counts in the mirrors and wipers because they are VERY high, pushing me over 7,000 tri. Optimizing the tires needs to be done too.

Disaster strikes!

mirrors in BF2 are typically squares on sticks

I see the two trap/doors open. Just wondering if you made it that way to "show off" the reality of the model or is the model actually made for door/trap movement within PR gameplay? If so, I believe that would be a first!?

The hatches are open to show off the interior. I don't know about coding, but perhaps the rear door could open and close depending on friendlies being in the area, speed or a control seat like in the Merlin. Odds are they will stay closed like normal vehicles.

The interior is done, except for the steering wheel. That's because I don't know how big to make it for the animation to work. I'll touch that up later.

I am going to make two versions, one with a manned gun in case the US Army or Polish Forces want to use it, since they both do or will in real life. For the Canadian one I hope to get an RWS on it. There is a Humvee with a CROW system so it is possible, though I would not know where to start.

DF, the one pic that does work for you is broken, there should only be one rear door, lol.
