german WW2 recon vehicle

*update*I've just finished my first 3D model in milkshape3D. The machinegun (MG34) is still missing.

Its a german Sd.Kfz 223 (light recon vehicle).

Is there anyone working on a WW2 title? Maybe I could give some helping hand. :)

Looks nice... Now all you've got to do is texture it.

Very good.

Impressive. Would love to see it with textures. ;)

Not bad - just remove the smoothing from the turret sides and make a skin/texture that looks like this:

BTW, that particular Sonderkraft Fahrzeuge was used mostly during the early war years and in the desert, so that somewhat limits the possible (realistic) wwII game scenarios... Halo was making wwII game, dunno that's the current status of that project.

You have some seriously cool stuff on your site, Mustang!

Why don't you WW2 freaks team up and make a Combat Mission or Panzer Elite clone or sumfink? :) It makes my heart go all achy to see all those superb models wasted.

Thanks! :)



I have tried few times and basic truth is that "'net team game projects" just don't work. There's always the big rush at the beginning and ideas and content just comes and flows... then the development slowly fades away and soon nobody even agrees if it was meant to be futuristic FPS or medieval RPG... :P

So thanks, but no thanks... I've learned my lesson(s). But I DO love wwII; my personal wwII aviation collection (helmets, suits and other related gear, signed ace photos and documents) proves that I have more than passing interest for the genre. And I am working on my own something that will someday make you smile if you like wwII. And if you ask, the answer will be "when it's done".

I can relate to what you are saying about net team game projects. Still I wouldn't hesitate to start some project with these kind of models if I weren't so busy with my strategy game project. :)

I seriously dig ww2 stuff as well.

I like,A Lot :)

*update* Please take a look at the above shown pictures! It's my first try to make a texture. I also reworked the model and reduced almost 1.000 polygons.

I'm looking for a blitzcoder, who can write a little program for me. I only want to move my model over a terrain. Can someone help me with that please? Please excuse - I'm not a coder. :'(

Fine work!
