i made this Apachi helicopter in 3Ds max


its 10,000 polys and i made it in seperate parts so that it can be animated or blown up

Looks nice jlim )

I like I like...

on nice, thats what we need. A mod that adds more vehicles and vehicle-oriented maps.

Not bad at all. Just the part right in front of the windshield looks a bit odd to me.

looks tasty. Can we do an aim that allows us to look through that cam?

Just FYI if you release it - it's spelled "apache"

please take a look at my website on apaches that we build and fly. some of your shapes arent right and im hoping your trying for the A model and not the later D models...

sorry about the spelling - i must have been in a rush

basically - i did use a lot of reference pics from google -so im guessing that there was a mix between the models, but the main reference was the blueprints from the-blueprints.com of a Boeing AH-64 Apache-so the proportions should be correct.

wat parts inparticluar do u think need some work?

the connection between main hull and wings that carries the rockets
and the box below the rotor
..could use some work

nice pics @ indyhelis .. big boys big toys

the nose area where the fuselage meets the TADS and PNVS systems...

if you look through the gallery section of my site i linked you can see ours (the A model version) is different than yours so i can only assume its either a mistake or your going for the D version, in which case your avionics bays are incorrect as well... If your going for complete accuracy lol.... either way what you have now would be a blast to fly in game... to bad the crytek flight controls are so ass backwards retarded though.

thanks for the help

Sideshowbob - yeah my wings look abit fake dont they -they connect into the body way to stright dont they - i see there's a curved up bit. thanks for pointing that out

Wingtip - yeah i cant believe i missed that - i guess i just did it wrong -or maybe cos it was just easier at the time. I understand that the bit where the fuselage meets the TADS and PNVS systems should be curved inwards/indented

ill try correct these a best i can without messing up the UVW mapping
and if it can be implented into the game then ill work on making a better texture for the body

thanks for all the comments

Here is a link to alot of close up photos from a friend of mine who took these for us during production of the molds.
