Hmm ... a lot of AKs have to be in such a vehicle shooting windows ... its kind of a interesting problem here, if i make them a part of the vehicle, i would have to compensate the variability of the weapons in each of the window (AK(S)-74M / -47 /AKM /PKM) ... on the other hand if there would be a fixing position defined for the weapons themselves as a separate model, it has to be fitted to the window-grips for them, thus complicating animations and scripts a little  ...



(the circular windows - one of them has an armature for a MG)





The size is right compared to the human and Ural. Looks like an sardine-can if you realize how much people should fit in.

I cant wait to use the wheel animation (as has hrrhrr used on the buggy) on my little "box" (a soviet afghan war term for column vehicles).

very very beautiful! very good

And the final exterior version of the BTR is there :









And the gunner sight wiew :

Lovely work, well done PytonPago.

Wow. That looks perfect .. Low grass mode is sort of a bummer.

Are you planning to texture the whole thing? It is a bit too shiny the way it is now. Has that showroom shine on it.

[krz9000]

smooth all these normals looks great

[James]

Now just slap some textures on there.

[Revolver]

nice BTR, Pago.

[M7]

Looks amazing! GJ

i actually newer played whyte grass at all .. also it might be the unusual format of my LCD (isnt 3:4 but more like 21:23 and it makes close things look funny sometimes - like the opt. ilusion effect doe )

Yes, actually both Ural and BTR, but first i have to do the interior and get a better hold of the UV tool in Blender (have some issues whyte pealing oranges there). You can see the periscopes are missing right now - is much easyer to make them from inside-out. That will take a while. Seems it will come out to annual model-releases form me - await it whole at summer. Dont worry, i try to script it driving till Silvester.

 ... could there be a possibility to show actual vehicle RPM in addition to the speed in the HUD (if being inside a car) ? Speculating around engine props and at them based scripts, speed indicator is nice to adjust speedometer and other speed related equipment/functions at real time in OT. An actual RPM indication would be a great addition to certain tests and adjustments ...

 ... also, does Math.sqrt work ? Cant make it work somehow (takes value as undefined). Would need that a lot for an animation.

P.S.:
 ... started working a litle at the ural interiors as a sidework, Blender to OT UVs application:

[PytonPago]

Well ... what an nice test outcome - so terrible its actually magnificent



 ... are there any limits on how many and how big UVs there can be on an single model (etc. their pixel size) ? Seems i will need to apply a lot of them and the most of them whyte almost all types (normal, env., refl.).

[PytonPago]

This thingy is odd ... 5 textures in all - every one trough multiple objects and there this problem whyte only one of them for all its parts :
 

[DeanosBeano]

probably you didnt name the vertgroups right ?

 i think in blender you have 3 important names  first two same name Mesh and Vertgroups and all other textures ?
 I recall i had different name for mesh and vert groups (UV) and it gave me same error

 Strange i was looking this thread 10 mins ago trying to learn turrets .
