ERT Mod possibility

Here's the thing, Hoppah provides a tutorial for how to go from high poly ot low poly. It's not hard at all, so if you model anywhere, I can make it work, plus I just want them to look good. Polygon count is workable. Obviously though don't aim super high or I'll end you

So I email my ERT stuff from sketchup to you or it HAS to be Zmodeler?

I'd prefer zmod, but I can work with anything

Can't Zmod sorry.

hey I try to download the zmodler2 and for some reason when i unzip it it doesnt wana instal. You guys have any help so i can get back to moding

I have no idea. I'm gonna go play with zmod n' see what i can do. maybe make a vehicle or 2 for fun, nothing too intense. If i make something though, i'm letting you guys do the childs, i f them up

I MADE A SQUARE!!!

Good for you! Is it really boxy or does it have smooth edges?

I see no lines so it's smooth....... now it's a red box.

This will be a great mod!

Hey, get me a blueprint of the engine, I've somewhat familiarized with zmodeller, worked on an enzo ferrari xD

Sounds good.

I can help with persons, got some experience with them

persons are good!

Can you mail/PM me pictures of some people? got some free time before I start medical school :p

someone want to contact pierce and get the blueprints? =x otherwise i'll make an ALF and you can deal with it xD

I can. What do you want them for? The Velocity trucks?

Yes, since that's the ERT units

Im able to convert my sketchup models to zmodler I can also do lighting.

I'll email Pierce.

Hey, i'm back. I'm almost done with the impala, just gotta do the skin, wich I just have resize, then done.

If someone wants to make a sketchup model, I can put it in zmodler for you all. Or I can just show you all how to do it

I emailed Pierce. I should get a reply soon.

but then i'd have to deal with removing polygons to make it lower count =x

I Will be talking to Justin (Hoppah) to use some of his things that aren't models. Some will work, and me and him are on good terms, so it will lighten our load greatly. Please when you are completed a model or a unit or anything for this, pm me right away so I can keep track, and I will also tell you where to send it so I can start compiling this and getting it together.

Ok. Good deal. I'm waiting for Pierce to reply.

could we maybe make a list of who is doing what?

well, i'm unsure of it because i suck at modeling. haven't done it in 2 years, first time i tried, can't get the polygons right, and move them into the proper place =x so when burke gets on msn i'll work with him.

Okay sounds good, I would like to help but I also would like to know kind of whats going on

Sounds Good guys!

I'm getting better at lighting. I just finished lighting up an FDNY ambo from the NY submod so I think I could help a bit. (Sorry to be OT a little.)

anyone know how to smooth/round corners on the models? i'm lost. >.>

So, I got bored today an created the EMS Ambulance Personnel, let me know what you think of it.

There I am! lol. looks nice

Thanks, any idea's on improving it?

The skins could be a bit better; the colors are too plain. But still, pretty cool. Now you just need to make an ambulance!

yeah, some added on details and stuff. and maybe not bulletproof vests, because omfg that would scare me. haha.

Maybe have EMT's like this : http://www.alaska-in-pictures.com/emt-and-ambulance-4495-pictures.htm

and Paramedics like this : http://i.l.cnn.net/cnn/2008/US/02/15/university.shooting/art.paramedics.shaw.jpg (Black with 3 stripe turnouts [Black,yellow, silver in the middle])

and our firefighters with the same black turnouts, except with a helmet http://www.capecodfd.com/PAGES%20Special/FDNY8.htm (Use la mod helmets or model your own. I can't get curves yet, otherwise i would.)

It looks very good, looks just like the pics in the EMS topic.

Garcia, DCBurke already posted pics of the uniforms for all the units. He could just copy off those.

Paramedics will not have turnouts, since Firefighters would handle that.. I have permission to use Hoppah's Firefighters and person models

ahh. new suggestion

Light blue shirts for EMT's

Dark blue for Paramedic

Hey man, those are okay skins, but I tell you what, I'm going to make some better ones okay?

The difference between a medic and an emt in the ERT is a simple shoulder slip. Paramedics have a red star of life, EMTs have a blue. I'm debating what exatcly to do for PM and EMT, I might just leave it red shoulders for paramedic, blue for EMT or something little like that.

Paramedics and EMT's wear the same uniforms otherwise, including the vest. That's not a bullet vest, but it does have a pocket inside to insert Kevlar if you so desire or are required to. (Tactical medics) That's supposed to be a three dimensional set. I'm getting the skins forwarded to me after some minor adjustments are made by Florian, and I'll add some other smlall insignias to brighten it up from just the plain black and grey

Here's an important job for the lesser modellers. I need buildings, lots. If you want to do one of those, inform me and I'll give you specs

I'm having trouble scaling my skin. I use la mod as a reference, but the skn is tiny on the impala.

What is suggest is doing the side pictures of top, left front back back and skinning it that way, at least then you know it'll match 100%

Damn! My skin isn't loading ingame!

I did that but it is to small, I'll try something else.

Going to make a better male skin

gotta rework those pockets too, haha

Fixed them, going to do that without the coat maybe.
