Attention!:It is not a vehicle yet it's only a prop so you can't fly with it without any improvements.

Note:
This is a pre-alpha version of my Puddle Jumper this means
it's not complete yet and will take changes in further versions.[/QUOTE]

It just gets better and better.

[coomdoom]

Love it. Very good, let's just hope you can get someone to texture it for you.

[darth_omega1]

So far very nice, keep at it.

[BlackRaven]

Here is a littel update.

I tried to let it look unique.

It looks real nice. I'd rate you a goldstar but.. You know.

What ever happened to all the other ratings?

But yeah he's right that is good looking

[BlackRaven]

Update:Animation test.

Note:You have to click on the pic and wait a little then it gets faster.

the animation is a little slow due to gif-conversion.

Hope it looks good.

[Feldor]

Brilliant

[EoD]

Extraordinary.

Now, what about the scale?

[Flyboi]

Lovely, I hate to Put the other guy down who made that other Puddle jumper But this is a lot better quality I just hope there are not to many Polygons to compile. Anyway Ill be happy to help you out with texturing since this will go brilliantly with A certain Stargate Roleplay map i have been working on (Might not get finished) So add me on msn ([e-mail]) or Steam (Flyboi)

Thanks,

[BlackRaven]

Hmmm...Polygons.. Yes I hope that too because I heard that c4d uses too much polys but I try to clean it up after I finishd the main stuff.

Edit.

I didn't use MSN and I never used Steam for chatting (don't know why) only for gameing maybe we find an other way to get contact.

[Deadmeat182]

That's awesome! Great job!

[BlackRaven]

Thanks.

I'm trying to test it ingame (only for scale) but I have some problems with Convertion.

[EoD]

I hope you don't give up, this model certanly deserves to be used. It looks so awesome, I could drool all day long.

[BlackRaven]

ok I have two big problems.

the first is that I can't modify the scale in the qc file.

the second is that I always get this error when I compile the model

Working on "pj.qc"
SMD MODEL pj_ref.smd
SMD MODEL pj_phys.smd
WARNING: Bad collision model, check your smoothing groups!!!
WARNING: Truncating model!!!!
WARNING: pj_phys.smd has bad smoothing groups
Model has 1 convex sub-parts
Collision model completed.
Computed Mass: 4127436.25 kg

I've tried many differnt smoothing groups but it won't work.

If somebody has any idea I would be very thankful.

[Lord Ned]

Yes you can modify the scale. "$scale" "1"

Make sure your collision model everything is in the same smoothing group.

[BlackRaven]

the problem with the scale is that when I set it to 0.5 I get an error.

ERROR: 'EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION' (assert: 1)
blabla

and when I leave it at 1 it is too large

Edit:

Maybe I know why the collide doesn't work. There are some Polygons pointing at the inside of the Jumper not like the others.
If that's the problem I will have to remake the whole Jumper because I don't know how to turn them.

Here is a Pic.

Edit2:

ok i got the polygons fixed but I still have the smoothing error.

It's a very complex model (over 1700 polys in 6 Parts ) and I have never made a phys model before, If someone knows how to do that, please help me.

[Ankan]

great work on the puddle jumper, by the way how large is it in game i mean the puddle jumper i kind of large in the series

[BlackRaven]

Like I said it's pretty large (3 times bigger then votekick's) but I will change the scale when the compiling works correctly after that I can finish the laste details (Pilot seat and Console) and then the only things left are coding and texturing.

[johncage]

Great model, very accurate. However I find the puddle jumper to be one of the most unimaginative, ugly ships ever thought up.

[Ankan]

i disagree the puddle jumper aren't ugly in anyway

[BlackRaven]

ok I've got a texture but I don't know whether it looks good.

Heres a Pic:

[b]Edit:[/b]

So how close is the jumper to completion

[Ankan]

any updates BlackRaven?

[BlackRaven]

ok here's a little update.

Some ingame pics I made yesterday.

It takes a lot of time to fix all little things and get every thing to work is hard because I do this the first time and I still need some practices.

Edit:
I'm working on little details and on the animations.

I could release it as Prop in maybe one or two week's but I think that's not a good idea.

[SilentAsassn]

This is looking great. Keep up the good work.
