I'm going to add the link back to the post, as it seems Kofi is not as convenient as I had hoped , but you can find my patreon here.
So I have no issue making the model, and a jbeam setup that creates a nice looking functional model. However the issue I am stuck at currently is the flight model in the game. I've made several different jbeam wings but just can't seem to get it to actually take off and fly. I think the issue stems from the fact that I likely need to make the nodeweights much lighter, but when you do so it tends to become unstable quickly since it is so large and has so many nodes/beams. But once (if) I can figure out how to solve this, should be coming along nicely .
Kinda weird how it looks exactly like that oceangate sub mod that showed up for like a day or two a few months ago and got taken down. There's definitely a noticeable difference in the quality of the mesh but it's a little curious.
If I'm remembering correctly, the one you were referring to was the joke mod with wheels. This one is MUCH higher quality, and actually works as quite the good sub. They're also both based on the Oceangate sub it seems, so the similarities aren't surprising.
I still have it. It wasn't on wheels. It was a joke tho from what I remember. But yea this mesh definitely has a much higher quality I just thought maybe the same person who made the first oceangate mod made this one as well.
I actually purchased the model with usage rights, and did a lot of processing in blender to make it work for beamng. if you were someone who actually purchased it you would have seen that in the file credits.txt What your saying is like saying that everyone who makes a pickup truck is copying someone else that makes a pickup truck. The design of the submersible is what it is, its not like two different models are going to be vastly different as that was the design of that sub. If you get some joy out of mindlessly making accusations on the internet then by all means go ahead, but your just hurting the community and discouraging more development of new things for the game. It is a lot of work to make quality mods for bng, and the motivation lowers for me every time someone acts like a child. And if that isn't enough proof for you here you go, a screenshot of my cgtrader purchase:
Yea that's not what I was insinuating but go off I guess. Good that you're using CGtrader. That's my go to place to sell models.
Its all good, im sure you understand how much work goes into creating 3D content then if you sell models on there
I am making a meshlap mod using the F-4 Phantom from Xplane 11, but all the control surfaces are at the center of the model (x0, y0, z,0) Do you know how it works? Also can anybody send me a copy of the UV map of the sub? I really want to make liveries of it. --- Post updated --- (Sorry for bump)
when is the next sale if there is one? here: https://ko-fi.com/s/784f6f2b26 also sorry for reviving the tread
