Ultramar : Portuguese African Combat
- Thread starter Faneca
- Start date
Uuuuuum, I am starting production in a few days (after my exams end, did Physics and Chemestry today).
So, WHAT program's should I use to make the mod?
I sure got UDK September 2010 but would like to know the best programs to model, animate, texture, map, etc. so I can be sure this goes as smoothly as possible.
First model I will do is the INDEP Morteirete 60mm, preety much the best mortar ever made, and will post it here.
Edit : Forgot to mention I've been updating the info posts.

Very interesting idea for a mod, especially the asymetric warfare bit. Interesting area of operations as well.
have you recruited yet? Because a full conversion mod is difficult stuff, so I highly recommend getting some help
Still recruting people, and allways will during the process of making the mod.
Been learning to model with 3Ds Max. I have a friend that is good at coding and Im in the last stages of convincing him to work on this.
The most difficult part is the coding because I want to implement things such as weapon jamming (wich will derive from weapon reliability and how fast you are firing bullets).
Been also drawing the HUD, will post the final drawings (re-made in Paint) of this along with the hand-rigs.

To prove this is legit and is actually in the making, here is a picture of an early Morteirete model. Yep, it ain't much but take in mind that this is my first model and I am still learning.
Also, I spent some 4 days in vacations with my parents and uncles in Alentejo. Passed by a looooooot of Cavalry and Paratrooper bases along the way.

two tips for your modelling there. first, you see those three boxes on the bottom toolbar that have x:, y:, and z: next to them? select each part of your model individually and change the x: and y: boxes to 0, pressing enter after each input to make the change. that should fix the off-center arrangement of your current model.
second, check out this 3DS Max modelling tutorial. it drastically improved the quality of the models I produced when I still had the drive to do it.

I shall follow your advices, but regarding the tutorial the 1st part doesn't open. Says it's a "unrecognized file" for some reason. Got a alternate dl link for part 1?
I haven't been able to find any working alternative download links, but luckily it would seem that the videos have been uploaded onto Youtube. (I probably should have checked there first tbh.

Sorry but when I posted, the whole of Portugal was under a severe thunder storm and Youtube was loading slow as heck.
Thanks anyways mate
Don't forget AR10's in the middle of the bush.
Plus decapitating people with MG42's and machetes all day erry day.
Anyways, taking a short break from modelling, will get back to it in a few days.
Gonna focus on mapping more until then (doing the Cliff test map).
Also, I have been updating the main posts with stuff & junk, go check it out.
