So yeah, yesterday evening I tried to create a simple motor, but I failed miserably.

Here's how it looks in 3dsmax:

(I'm really rusty at modeling, I need to work on that to make my stuff less ugly)

Here's how it turned out in RA2. The normals are all ****ed up, and I couldn't be arsed to map the component, since it would still look like crap. I'd probably have to redo the model from scratch.

I take requests. Let me know if you have any ideas for components, I will make them.

that looks pretty cool shame it didnt work out.. I found the name/description amusing lol

Looks nice, Serge. Does it have another AP on the back side? Cool name. I'd like to look at it if I may, then I could give better input...

Are all the normals right in the model? Sometimes you get faces with two normals going both ways...

I'll add one in the back and upload it in a couple of minutes.

Or I'll add one, NP.

Thought: Sometimes I think we should mod the APs of motors to have all/more of the options for attaching: "Attach = Base_M, Base_F, Generic_M, Generic_F, Axle_M, Axle_F". Then the motor could be used as a mount also, which I've see done sometimes in real bots.

Serge · « **Reply #6 on:** August 04, 2009, 07:33:52 AM »

Right now I've only made them Base_F and Generic_F.

NP, on the AP options. I'll get back in a couple days. Just too busy these days.

Czesc.

No BMPs. So here's a rough suggestion for color only in the gmf:

Serge: Got wav?

That does look pretty good, maybe reduce how shiney it is

Madiaba · « **Reply #10 on:** August 04, 2009, 12:56:28 PM »

Ok, thanks. It will look better with a map and detailed skins..

The normals are still messed up

. I have the tverts sorted out, and have created a texture for the body of the motor, but with all the noise due to normals it doesn't look really well. I'll give you more info when I get back to my main computer.

A hacked RC servo for your antweights!

This tiem tried it with a simpler model (but it's still ugly!). I'm finishing it off and exporting it to RA2.

Beautiful! Simply beautiful!

You're too hard on yourself Serge... Looks great to me too.
Don't have a reference for size, but looks clean.

On your motor, did you get the normals normal yet?

I like that name, Inf.

Serge · « **Reply #16 on:** August 05, 2009, 06:00:09 PM »

Here it is, if anyone wants to give it a shot. I'd be glad if anyone balances it out in terms of specs and weight.
