GhostRider3/3 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Has anyone modded the Ausf. J with Wire mesh? conversion from plate Schurzen to wire-mesh Thoma type. Just checking. Thanks for any assistance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umlaut Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) Hi It sounded like a fun challenge - so I gave it a try. I made some alpha channels in the original (well, Aris´) skirts to change them from "solid" to mesh-like. Alas, it doesn´t seem to be possible to make a convincing looking wire mesh. At least not for me. The problem is that the skirts still appear to be "solid" when you get a few metres away from the tank - as you can see on the pics. I don´t think this can be solved by modders - I think BFC will have to make some special textures for this kind of mesh to work. But who knows, perhaps someone proves me wrong? mesh rek mesh rek2 mesh rek3 Edited January 13, 2015 by umlaut 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Willett Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 For info in the CM Shock Force game there are vehicles that have this mesh on them so CM designers can do this already, but Umlaut great work as always! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umlaut Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) Thanks a lot. But if I remember correctly (haven´t got CMSF installed anymore) the mesh on the CMSF vehicles (Strykers?) did not appear solid from a distance - as these skirts do. I think BFC use some special technique for these kinds of meshs - probably one we modders can´t make ourselves. Here´s a link to the bmp, if you´d like it, I´m not going to upload it to the repository or GreenAsJade´s (it is Aris´ work - with my mesh). Another fine mesh: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hc0srkaamwntv2g/pz-ivj-skirt.bmp?dl=0 Edited January 15, 2015 by umlaut 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
