Earl Grey Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Okay, so I'm already remaking my Panther D Late - this time it's gonna be a REAL late version! But I have a little problem. As we all know, the polygons of the late Ausf.D cupola actually are that of an Ausf.A. So I can just change textures.I did a little tweaking and came up with this: Question is: Do you want type A (Ausf.D cupola tweaked to fit onto the polygons) or do you prefer type B (Ausf.A cupola, wrong but better looking)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseltaylor Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I suspect B but it is probably fairer to give us a view of at least the whole turret to see if it looks odd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zwolo2003 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Go for "A". Does not look bad at all and it would be great to have the "more realism" option. Zwolo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Grey Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 Full view turret comparison with cupolas: Type A is the tweaked Ausf.D cupola, type B is the Ausf.A. A isn't perfect, but at least historically correct. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broompatrol Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 The extra detail on the A is more pleasing visually. ...As long as there arent any floating pixels or other whoopsies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Grey Posted March 16, 2007 Author Share Posted March 16, 2007 Nope, no floating pixels or the like, just a funny shape when you look at it from certain angles, since it's essentially an Ausf:A cupola with the wrong/right textures... Turret B would have the same Zimmerit as turret A, I just took a Panther A for the screens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 What BFC has in the game is a perfectly rendered "Squardon Signal" Panther D late. I had that old hobby reference picture book in my collection for twenty years before realizing just how wrong many of the captions were! About struggling with that cupola - I feel your pain 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Grey Posted March 16, 2007 Author Share Posted March 16, 2007 Yeah, I know. Have seen that, too. So, what do you think? Should I go for rype A or type B? Personally, I think, A doesn't look too bad... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
