REQUEST ALREADY DONE - Thank You

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good day everyone and fellow 3d-model artists,
Here is a simple request which you might  be able to help me with - in turn you will also be doing a big favor for everyone and
will be enjoying your game better.

This is NOT to create anything from scratch, but it is to change the coding of a model to look like it is standing up.
The only model we have now is laying down and looks like its "dead" - We need it to look "alive".

I am requesting for a living "COW" and "SHEEP"

Inside your game folder for Objects . . .

MapMods\3do\Buildings\Troops\Animals    - they are inside the folder "Animals"

. . . there are presently 2 very fine 3d-models which only have their shape and skins as "dead animals".
They are laying down on the ground dead. They could be standing up.

If possible, could anyone put these 2 animals in the standing upright position,  as if they are alive.
There is no need to change their shape or 3d-shape , ONLY change the model coding to place them standing up.

I will be creating some very good realistic skins for these animals and also different varieties (breeds) for your game.
This will give your game map landscapes more REALISTIC looks.

Thank you so much for your hard work.
I am sure you will enjoy these models in your game when I will post for you the new skins and
the duplicate files of the models I will then create, so we can have other types of cow and sheep.


Thank you
MAX

by the way - this is NOT A JOKE. I am being very serious. Even though this game is about airplanes, it also needs
maps and landscape scenery to make this game look as real as possible. Without proper looking objects to look
at on the ground while your flying, it just looks Dead. - We must make this game come alive with life too.
Even though we already have a cow and sheep object, they are absolutely terrible looking! These other
objects which were made "dead" are much better 3d_Models and could be a nice improvement for the game.

OK.

I've looked at 3D models of the cow and sheep, I get them standing in game.

But they don't have hitboxes... so they never die even hit by bombs or rockets, bullets.
I'll add hitboxes and send you back.

[western0221]

By the way, Cow and Sheep models you uploaded don't have shadow meshes.

Are they needed?
If so ... I can add them.

[max_thehitman]

Thank you Western! 

Shadows are a great idea.
I am actually thinking of adding shadows to all animals and soldiers for the game in the future. It will make more realistic scenes.

I am not just painting airplanes, I must paint more better animals and soldiers. It adds life to the landscape.

Create new soldiers which we do not have.
For example,
I am researching and painting new Japanese soldiers, Japanese Navy and Air force... Late war Waffen-SS soldiers, including some very bad guys...
Civilians and workers... U.S. Marine soldiers and U.S. Navy soldiers for Pacific maps... cannibals for Islands! and also African tribesman...
Many types of World War One soldiers.... Prisoners of War and Resistance soldiers... some wounded people and Doctors... many new things.

All the old model skins will have a new make-over with some better details and all will have bigger skins. But the skin sizes will not
effect your game or game-play. I am keeping them in medium sizes - Not HD skins. So you will not have any problems.

I finish my work.
Check your PM box, max_thehitman!

I haven't checked the Objects but on the HSFX Channel map there are definitely cows and sheep standing up so they are already in some of the versions somewhere.

On the subject of other figures...FYI... I am just finishing up some Command personnel for a request from the SEOW group.  I will be releasing them this weekend.  Essentially it is an officer figure looking through binoculars (Russian, German, Japanese, British and US).  I've kept the poly count low.  As mentioned it's mainly for the SEOW guys but obviously anyone else can use them if they want.

Boomers object pack + extra mods available on this site:



My favourite, the pig...not bad for an old flightsim

[Chupacabras84]

That pig looks great by all standards
Although TD would probably said "2/10, would not 'oink' with"

[max_thehitman]

When I finish these I will make a post with the new cows, new pigs, and new dogs for everyone in the general forum. 

Cheers and Thank You  - Domo Arigatou Gozaimasu to Western0221 !

Thanks!     
Love this stuff. 
Especially the pigs.




By the way, standing cow and sheep we have for a long time already. They were created by Canonuk for his English Channel maps.

I remember to have seen another brown bear at Aviaskins. Created by Greif11.
And a cat looking up at some dried fish (by Molva?).

Enough animals to create a zoo, a petshop and a farm.
