HungaroJET Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) Actually no real specular maps there (yet) on the model (which was the old cmd model) You can see some pre-spec-settings in these images also. http://forum.lockon.ru/showpost.php?p=1924615&postcount=8647 Real spec and bump maps are in progress but i show now some parts/detail from the upcoming WIP bump maps (Afterburner, Pylons, Gear doors and Tails, Fuselage - but not visible on current ingame screenshots) and some reference photo http://www.airliners.net/photo/Hungary---Air/Mikoyan-Gurevich-MiG-29A-(9-12A)/0371758/L/ http://www.airliners.net/photo/Hungary---Air/Mikoyan-Gurevich-MiG-29B-(9-12A)/1727657/L/ http://www.airliners.net/photo/Poland---Air/Mikoyan-Gurevich-MiG-29A-(9-12A)/2314844/L/ http://www.airliners.net/photo/Poland---Air/Mikoyan-Gurevich-MiG-29A-(9-12A)/2304101/L/ http://www.airliners.net/photo/Poland---Air/Mikoyan-Gurevich-MiG-29A-(9-12A)/2174799/L/ http://www.airliners.net/photo/Slovakia---Air/Mikoyan-Gurevich-MiG-29AS-(9-12A)/2149122/L/ http://www.airliners.net/photo/Slovakia---Air/Mikoyan-Gurevich-MiG-29AS-(9-12A)/1122382/L/ http://www.airliners.net/photo/Serbia---Air/Mikoyan-Gurevich-L-18-(MiG-29B)/2185238/L/ http://www.airliners.net/photo/Serbia---Air/Mikoyan-Gurevich-L-18-(MiG-29B)/2185138/L/ Edited November 29, 2013 by HungaroJET Atop the midnight tarmac, a metal beast awaits.

john_X Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 i'm very interested in this mig-29 improvements. when are they going to be ready? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobac Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 (edited) As I see, you HungaroJET, have a lot of interesting projects started - but not one finished, except static Mi-8 model. Would it not be better to focus on one, and the finish, and then move on to the next? Edited November 10, 2013 by kobac [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]Everything is possible ...

NRG-Vampire Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) yes, he has many unreleased/unfinished models and projects but afaik if he get stuck he moves to another project and if he found the ideas/solutions then he (will) steps back to older projects as well with those solutions or if he does not get problems then some projects even needs plenty of time just like this older su-27 project for dcsw http://combatace.com/topic/76034-hungarojet-3go-mw-su-27-flanker-model-for-dcs-world-released/ again: this is not my screenshot - this modelviewer shot come from a hungarian dcsw forum looks like he just added the missing texture/mesh for nose gear taxi light :thumbup: Edited November 16, 2013 by NRG-Vampire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRG-Vampire Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Real spec and bump maps are in progress but i show now some parts/detail from the upcoming WIP bump maps by the way, who knows the exact difference between normal map and bump map ? or are those the same ? :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeLKMT Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) by the way, who knows the exact difference between normal map and bump map ? or are those the same ? :dunno: Bump map uses white to black 0-255 and basically says only a height of each particular pixel on the map. Normal map uses all three channels (R,G,B) and tells which direction (X,Y,Z) is pixel facing. You can see that bump maps are in greyscale while normal maps all funky and colorful.

leafer Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Yeah but what is that even mean? Someone please explain GeorgeLKMT's explanation. :P :D ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeLKMT Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Yeah but what is that even mean? Someone please explain GeorgeLKMT's explanation. :P :D Haha, well... I assume you already know what bump and normal mapping does. Basically it'll let you render details by "tricking" renderer into thinking, that there's aditional geometry. But when you look from a shallow angle, you can see that surface is flat no matter how much those rivets or whatever look real. Displacement mapping can actually modify your mesh, but that's another story.... Now renderer needs to know direction of every normal in scene to calculate lightning. If you apply a normal map on your geometry, it's almost like you divided that surface to another small normals, where every pixel is one (that's why it's called normal map!). Now renderer looks at this and each pixel tells him "hey, I'm not a pixel, I'm actually a normal! My color is R..G..B.. which means I'm facing direction X..Y..Z". And so it goes. Bump map doesn't have that information. It just tells by how much is each pixel shifted in direction of normal it's applied to. So renderer needs to figure this out all by itself. Normal maps usually get you better results with more complex details, especially sharp edges (where bump map gives you a smooth one instead). On the other hand, they could be a pain in the nozzle to work with and bump maps are also much smaller (but with today's hardware, that's usually not a concern). ■ L-39C/ZA Czech cockpit mod ■ My DCS skins ■ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aginor Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 And to put it really simple: You have a special kind of additional texture file that can be used by the graphics engine to act like there was an edge of the geometry although there is none (so the engine can draw shadows for example). So you don't need all the details in the model but you sort of paint them on the texture. DCSW weapons cheat sheet speed cheat sheet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRG-Vampire Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 thanks for the meaningful information George i did not know that difference, i thought all the surface which looks bumpy made with bump map i guess many people confuse bump and normal map :doh: maybe hungarojet is confused as well because it looks he is working on "funky and colorful":D normal maps instead of bump map :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeLKMT Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 It's common to use bump as a synonym, even if everybody knows the talk is about normal maps. It's just easier to say :P ■ L-39C/ZA Czech cockpit mod ■ My DCS skins ■ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HungaroJET Posted November 29, 2013 Author Share Posted November 29, 2013 (edited) Working on new different aircraft specific afterburner 3D shapes and other textures This is the WIP Fulcrum flame-shape The 3D model got exactly the same diameter and X axis +/- length as the stock afterburner-flame model, so it doesn't need any lua correction for any aircraft. Moreover I wrapped the original ns_forsage texture to the model so the old afterburner texture also will be usable. (However that's a new texture on the screenshots) Finally, here are three ModelViewer WIP screenshots of a real specular map and effect on the tail of the MiG-29 (screws and fittings are visible only at certain angles of sunlight) Reference-photos: (Compare shine of bolts/screws on wings/fuselage/elevators on 2nd and 3rd photos) http://www.airliners.net/photo/Serbia---Air/Mikoyan-Gurevich-L-18-(MiG-29B)/1985055/L/ http://www.airliners.net/photo/Russia---Air/Mikoyan-Gurevich-MiG-29UB-(9-51)/2049479/L/ http://www.airliners.net/photo/Russia---Air/Mikoyan-Gurevich-MiG-29UB-(9-51)/2052536/L/ http://www.airliners.net/photo/Hungary---Air/Mikoyan-Gurevich-MiG-29A-(9-12A)/1777615/L/ Edited November 29, 2013 by HungaroJET Atop the midnight tarmac, a metal beast awaits.

SkateZilla Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Nice, Was looking at replacing the Default 3d model for AB, it needs a Update. Too bad the Heat blur Shader cant be set to stay on All the time, it makes AB's look so much better, once it turns off it just looks too 3d w/ no heat or sense of thrust/power.

Too bad the Heat blur Shader cant be set to stay on All the time, it makes AB's look so much better, once it turns off it just looks too 3d w/ no heat or sense of thrust/power. yeah, nice and stunning :) looks more realistic for the mig-29 :thumbup: by the way Skate, as far as i can remember in FC1/FC2 idle and more lower engine rpm made visible heatblur effect as well - i hope ED will bring that back sometime in FC3 too another problem is the brightness effect of the flame. unfortunately in daytime the AB flame much more brighter - TOO BRIGHT - in dcsw than in the night - what is unrealistic - but it should be the opposite: daytime darker/almost-invisible and highly visible/brightwhite in the night Edited November 29, 2013 by NRG-Vampire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkateZilla Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 that's what I meant, right now Heatblur turns off around 270knots, well it fades off as you speed up (or move the camera away from source). could be my settings, I have no idea.

NRG-Vampire Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 by the way Skate, as far as i can remember in FC1/FC2 idle and more lower engine rpm made visible heatblur effect as well got you, but i meant in earlier flaming cliffs the heat blur was visible at zero speed on the ground when engines just started to spool up. at 60% idle rpm the heatblur was very visible now in FC3 the same visibility needs about 80-90% rpm and there is absolutely no heatblur at idle 60% rpm in FC3 which is unrealistic imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
