poesel Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 How do you like that design? Its a modified Apollo turret with the standard 76mm barrels plus the connecting pieces. Should allow a pretty big elevation for the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperial Grunt Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Looks great! One recommendation I have is that the turret is less armored and more easily damaged/destroyed since there is alot of moving parts and more ammo in there. Turret rotation should be slower than the standard single gun 76mm turret. That will help with balance as well. And make my snipers happy!

Imperial Grunt Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Blender. I downloaded the free version and found it to be as user-friendly as a fork in the eye. If I can be really picky, I would add a just some optics (those green eyes on the other vehicles). Too bad those things are not targetable by snipers as in real life.

poesel Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 Yes, the learning curve is really steep and its quite counter intuitive because it uses its own user interface which is different from anything else. It takes a few weeks but after that its very useful and fast. Its not textured yet but if you want you can have the job. The Gimp is easier than Blender...

Imperial Grunt Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Well, I have no idea about Gimp. Is that a free program too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poesel Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 Course it is. www.gimp.org If you are used to photoshop google for gimpshop to get a similar interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
