Turning this into a Mesh..., UH-1 Huey Vietnam era Transport

this one will help me lay down The bulk of the Detail. It already orthigraphical and come with a bonus direction of the top view down. that will help get even more detail and all frames of the image are to scale of the other another bonus is the mesurements are laided out for me so that i can get the full scale right knowing waht the Conversion into the Game is already. This will be flying around in teh game.


This will help me with the inside if i choose to do one. to tell you the truth there might actully be 2 models one for the scene when the agents are inside it and one for the outside when they jump out.


this is another one of those two scale Orthigraphicals but i wont really use it much in fact it really to help me test Color combonations.


And something to put on the side of the green Beast...



By the way, I'm starting this mesh tonight and I'll keep you iformed on how it comming along day by day if I can. And hour or two a night and I predict by next week it should be fnished.

Huey meshes arn't hard to find on the net, if you have trouble modeling certain parts or something.

it's done... and spot on accurate on the outside... inside is a bit of trouble as my refrance material is a bit hard to see in detain. mostly it a artistic freedom issue i guess...

Now all i ahve to do is finish the innards set up for animation, Layout the Skin and prep it for Texture. Find the proper sound effects and try and get it in game. Still got a day, maybe a week or two before I can get it in game. but the outter mesh is pretty much done...

Go wild on the interior, Hueys are famous for being customized in every rediculous way possible.

what is a mesh?

He's talking about a model for the transport vehicle in the STUD Mod for HL2.

A mesh is a Digital 3D object made with programes like 3D Studio's Max, XSI or Maya 7.0 that can be used in almost any computer driven appliation. Most notably Games, Film and Telivision.

A mesh consist of Dots Called Verticies, Line called Edges which when Connected in the most primitive form of a triangle cause a Flat panel called a face. With these three thing an entire Model can be arranged to look like just about anything the artist desires and later textured with a flat picture to give it a more life like appearance.

The word mest come from the fact of if you where to take an entire Model and arrange it to lay completely flat , all the triangles would look much like a MESH net or a Web. Since Web was already used for the Internet, Mesh became the word to discribe a 3d Model. those who make 3d Models refer to them as meshes to Diferentiate(SP?) between a Plastic Plane or car tehy put togather as kids with the really great glue hat made you a little dizzy and light head if you used too much and waht they do with a computer what made of at it very basic Ones and Zeros.

When i say Mesh it means a 3d Element used for the MOD I've been working on creating for everyones enjoyment as I develop the skills needed to become a full blown game developer. If not theres always my day job...

damn.

Yeah Fetishist is no fool, I figure I'de give a detailed quick Explanation of exactly waht I ment by mesh...
