SAMi V Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 OK. Here is a little preview what i've done so far. I started to mod IS-1, IS-2 Mod 1943, IS-2 Mod 1944 (early),IS-2 Mod 1944 and IS-3 (they all seem to share the same textures.) I added bit more rust (still need to add more dirt on it as well) on it and added some stuff here and there as you can see form the screenshots below. I'm still quite newbie on texturing these tanks. Actually this is my first time i try to texture these tanks. Ok. Enough talking. Here's 4 screenshots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vergeltungswaffe Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 Very nice work. Looks like there is another talented member in the mod community. Wish I could do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeauCoupDinkyDau Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 Looks great, but some of the white paint is hitting the rear MG housing. You need to end the strip on the turret bmp a little sooner to avoid that. Otherwise, great work!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAMi V Posted October 14, 2002 Author Share Posted October 14, 2002 Yes, i still have to work on it more. Here's few more pics. Added some more dirt here and there and lowered the white lines and logo on the turret sides. They were too much high. I seem to have one .bmp missing and i dont know what it is. When you look at these new pics you can see some green on the inner side of the tracks or how to explain it with me bad english. It's not amongst the other textures that this model uses. Maybe it shares some other tanks texture for that part. Beats me. Hopefully some of you can help. MrNoobie perhaps? btw, your tanks look great! I like the textures on those T34's.

MrNoobie Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 i see what you mean...hehe to be honest with you im new at this as well...i just textured every bmp that belongs to that particular tank...at times im not even sure what part im texturing...

second amendment Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 how about trying to texturing in some battle damage like shell hits on the armor? that would look cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeauCoupDinkyDau Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 Could you make the cross on the top optional? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixelflesh Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 I cannot wait to get my hands on this! Out of curiosity, what was your source of referance? Interesting scheme, keep up the good work and keep us posted on your progress with the mod. I also concur with making the top cross optional please.

akdavis Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 My only criticism would be that they look a bit to "weathered." They remind me of tanks I saw in Europe that had been sitting out in the open for 50 yrs. Paint scheme is beautiful. I like how it's very unique, but avoids the mirroring problem I've seen in some people's Russian tanks mods so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eden Smallwood Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 Is that cross on top historical? German pilots must have *loved* it!! Eden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAMi V Posted October 14, 2002 Author Share Posted October 14, 2002 Yes, it does look a bit too much weathered. I agree. I have to change it some to more like MrNoobie has done on his 7-34's. A bit more greenish color needs to be added. I used this model as reference pic. It's a model of JS-II M. http://www.panzernet.com/galeria/js2mam/js2mam.htm Or then i could go with this color theme. http://www.panzernet.com/galeria/js2dr/js2dr.htm Or this http://www.panzernet.com/galeria/js2fk/js2fk.htm Then about that cross on top of it. I dont know is it historical, but you can see it on these two models and some others too. I would guess that is historical. I can make it optional too, if some of you dont want to have it.

SAMi V Posted October 14, 2002 Author Share Posted October 14, 2002 Changed texture on the tank and tweaked the graphics on sides of the turret. Now it doesnt look so rusty anymore. First texture looked like you could shoot through of that armor with a handgun. hehe I think now it looks better. I think i still might need to make the whole texture a bit darker, since in the game it looks a bit brighter than in these screenshots. I think i work next on that slogan on back of the turret. I'm not happy with it. Need to go search again for some cyrillic fonts. And more pics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAMi V Posted October 14, 2002 Author Share Posted October 14, 2002 Almost done with it...i think... hehe. That slogan still needs work. Finally found the missing .bmp file as well. Now i need a break and play some CMBB for awhile with da finns and drive the russians back to siberia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eden Smallwood Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 Originally posted by SAMi V: [QB]Almost done with it...i think... hehe.I think you *are* done with the armor- it looks perfect to me, FWIW. But what about the tracks? They're sticking out- can you throw some dust on there? Eden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAMi V Posted October 14, 2002 Author Share Posted October 14, 2002 Sure. I'll change the look of the tracks too. I'll do that next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAMi V Posted October 15, 2002 Author Share Posted October 15, 2002 Ta-daa! Tracks done. Actual tracks didnt much change its looks even though i added more dirt to them. Maybe need to add some more. I also added more dirt on the sides too. [ October 14, 2002, 08:29 PM: Message edited by: SAMi V ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eden Smallwood Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Originally posted by SAMi V: Ta-daa! Tracks done. Yes, they are!! No, don't "add more"- the tracks are perfect- they "fit" the rest of the tank. ( All this is IMHO, of course, right? ) But, (er), I think you overdid the wheels/gears whatever they're called. It kinda looks like it's been sitting in Pearl Harbor for twenty years, and it's a bit too *bright*...? Hey, I wouldn't bug you if it didn't look almost perfect!! One more thing I'll add. That stripe... if you sit back a ways, it kinda jumps off the tank, no? I think if you added to it some of the same exact color scheme which is on the armor "underneath" the stripe, it should help it "stick on" better, ya know? Notice the difference between the red star and the white stripe- the red star definitely appears to be part of the armor; the stripe is still a little bit floating... Ok, I'm done. But you're tantalizing us. Eden [ October 14, 2002, 08:43 PM: Message edited by: Eden Smallwood ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbott Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Could I get one in high gloss metallic black with Parisian blue pin stripping? As you can see you will get many opinions off each post on your Mods. I think your works is looking great, I am looking forward to downloading and using it in-game. Thank you!

SAMi V Posted October 15, 2002 Author Share Posted October 15, 2002 Yes. I think you are right there, Eden Smallwood. Too much dirt on the wheels part. I need to decrease the opacity of the dirt on them and see how it turns out. Then about the floating stripe you mentioned. Actually it is not floating. It's just a bit more up than the one on the front. I tryed to make it go at the same height as it is on front of the turret, but in my opinion it went too low on the back of the turret. That didn't look too good. Well, i need to go get some rest now and later on i edit the dirt part on the wheels and so on. Hopefully i have it all done soon. Thanks for the feedback. Keep it coming.

BeauCoupDinkyDau Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 I like the pics at 3:52 better. That "dirt" on the lower half looks like 40 years of rust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
