AndrewTF Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 No, it's not finished yet, but I thought I'd show off a couple more shots of the Daimler in progress. First is a comparison with the original texture. I like most of the BTS original textures, but the Daimler was just a big green icky blob: There are obviously some problems getting the unit markings to display right. Not sure if I can do anything about it. Either way, I'll include an unmarked version in the release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeauCoupDinkyDau Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 Damn that looks sweet. I want it, I want it, I WAN'T IT NOW!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warmaker Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 Nice effort. IMO it looks much better now without the launchers on the turret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Bellator Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 Two thumbs up from me as well, I thought this cutie was never going to get modded after Pawbroon's valiant work/nightmare with the textures so this is really appreciated Andrew.

I stopped my own Daimler when Andrew started his and sent to him all I had in the way of pictures. Insteas I did the Archer. Now mind you, not only will you have a Daimler MOD but a useless Archer TD as a sidekick. Ain't life grand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 Andrew, The Daimler is coming along nicely. Pawbroon, The Archer looks a little grey, you might want to bump up the saturation a little, other than that, it's also looking very nice.

Andreas Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 A Daimler of the 49th West Riding! Who would have thought. Brilliant Andrew, I will replay my old scenario 49th Recce immediately on publication of the mod. Marcel, thanks for using the 59th AT Rgt RA, 43rd Wessex marking - very much appreciated!

M Hofbauer Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 In your first picture comparison.jpg it seems the image on the fender/mudguard is used for the inside as well. How did you work around that in the later pictures (which don't seem to suffer from that)?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest is weathering and dirtying. But this part is clearly not done. Andrew, you said when you released your Jeep MOD that you've fond a way to put mud quite easily. Seeing your gorgeous Daimler (have I told you I am glad I stopped mine?! ) it is evident that you are very much into your new method. Would you care to drop me a mail to give me some pointers if it's not too long to explain? Thanks for your MODing effort and for the work you put in it for the community...

The rear fender texture repeats itself on both the inside and the front of the fender. I fixed it in the 3rd picture by changing the camera angle when I took the screenshot! I will try repositioning the unit markings to the upper part of the fender by incorporating them into the BMP that depicts the top of the vehicle. I did this for the bridging disk on the front, so it may work ok, but with a little distortion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeauCoupDinkyDau Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 Andrew, I just 'dicovered' your uniform mods over at Tom's. I've seen them there dozens of times but just didn't bother giving them a closer look. They rock. You are a Mod God! BTW Pawbroon, the eyes look cool. Who cares if that particular TD hardly gets used; I just might use one now and then just to see your pretty textures! :cool: [ 01-07-2002: Message edited by: Vader's Jester ]</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
