Lanky 2012's Addons

[Lanky2012]

G'day Im Laurence, Im 23 & from australia, anyways im interested in trying my luck at some modding for this game, as i have gained valuable exprience within other games of creating 3d objects, mainly farming machinery although have always been passionate about flying i've started on a AS350, below is some of my work still in the secondary stages of modelling.
I am slowly learning animation with my program and hope to some time down the track release my Work in progress. (perhaps a moderator could setup a Work In Progress Modding Link )

I look forward to learning the programs the creators of the game use to create there models, and hopefully down the track they may release a plugin for import/export etc

As a boilermaker by trade in the heavy engineering sector working roughly 5 days or more per week, my time for modelling varies, I hate being hounded by newbies, " when will it be released" "any further updates" " i dont like it like that" etc, At the end of the day if you dont like it dont use it.

Great stuff - it will be good to see some community made helos in the game - whenever they arrive. Most people in the community understand the mantra 'It's done, when it's done' and there are actually forum rules to prevent people ffrom simply asking for progress updates. Having said that you'll get the odd one or two - just take a deep breath!!!

There are some great resources and help to be found in the editing/configs/modelling threads on both the ToH and Arma 2 forums. Modelling in Arma 2 is very similar to ToH and as it's been around longer there's more stuff over there...

ToH Editing Forum

Arma 2 Editing Forum

Good luck and I look forward to flying whatever you build!

EDIT----> Forgot to mention. BI released a sample model package for ToH. It contains a model, liveries and the configs needed to get it working in game. Might be a valuable source for you. It's here.

Good luck with this project, it would be nice to see some new heli's in TOH.

Firstly thank you max power.. I will resize all my pictures in future posts to the required 100kb, also sorry about the newbie stuff just putting myself out there..

Jeda, your a great lad I'll download them as soon as I can, I know nothing of arma 2 but will look into later.

I am a self taught noob of 3ds Max only started using it 8 months ago. I will help others where I can if required, just shoot me a pm

Just a quick update into the AS350..

Oh my, that's outstanding! 2 posts and you show us this - that's a quality return!

Very nice indeed ,
be sure to check out that sample model to give yourself a good idea of the Lod system and polycounts etc

let us know if you need help with Proxies for Crew , i think its still possible to get a good position using arma2 sample model and animations from arma1 for a rough guestimate , it maybe that you can even view Binarised proxies these days its been so long since i did anything like this.

Wouah, that's a nice bird
