Google Sketchup to O2?

Hello.

An empty shell Instead of what exactly?

Do you mean instead of the whole vehicle?

A vehicle can have different "views".Although the car class is a bit
limited in that regard.

A tank for example can have a view for the commander,gunner,driver
and cargo.This can cut down on the amount of geometry on-screen
by limiting it to just what's visible from that particular part of the vehicle.

..and that means, that the interior can still remain in certain bits?

Because I made basically the entire enterior: Bustle, ammo inside it, Gunner's sights, vision blocks, appropriate seating, etc. I might upload a few pics of how it would look like. I just still don't really have driver's position being done, because I had to resolve structural issues first.

Also what I mean, is when you turn out, and try to look below (like when you are in commander's station. It is easily noticable, when you use FDF's T-34) the interior is non-existant, so, I was wondering about how it is done, that, when you turn in, in vehicle interior appears, and when turn out, it dissapears.

"Turned in",as the driver,you would be looking at the "view pilot" area.

As far as I know,when you then "turn out",you're looking at the first resolution lod.
Which is why the detail is a bit lower.You could add some more into the lod,
but I wouldn't go crazy with it.

Although with armor,you're likely to have less of them on screen at once.
So perhaps a few more polys wouldn't hurt.

I (KIND OF) understand what you mean.
Well, I'm placing a few pics, to have an idea, what is going on with me (design is still a little dodgy, RCMG is kinda weird, and finish a few tidbits).
