New pilots for CK WIP - Barnesy - 14.04.2014

thought im might start out by doing a little research on who wore what and when? there is not a shitload of information out there regarding ww1 pilot regalia i do have a few pics on what we are aiming for i think?
this is Lothar Von Richthofen the Barons brother
i find a lot of RC models give a pretty good look how your models look in Il2 not sure how this translates to CK but i guess we will see

Cool!

Somebody did a fine job on the figurine. Things like that do help to get the idea.

Hi Barnesy, in CK if you make a pilot for lets say the Fokker Dr1 there is no change in him for that plane no matter what plane skin you might be using, just so you know.
Each plane needs its own pilot as each pilot is seated a little different in each plane.

Looking forward to this as I know your pilots are top in Il2.

um you say parts can be animated DM does CK support texl files ? for the animated eyes um and can we make his head turn ?
moving arms and such require the mesh to be broken up and frankly im not to well up on that sort of animation

Hi Barnesy,

Eyes = no
Head = yes
Arms = yes
Legs = yes
Upper body = yes

I think though for your first go around would be good to do just a new stiff pilot, you can update him later to move once you get to know the sim a little more, I can send you more files on the moving pilots so you can look them over.

Re: New pilots for CK WIP - Barnesy - 17.04.2014

there's not much left after you stick his helmet etc on DM this is what is left of the brit head I started out with

Edit: if you want to send me a side views and front pic of your self facegen will generate a 3D mesh of your face have not tried it yet but by all accounts it works very well takes about five minutes to generate the mesh
if you use two or three photos takes longer but it generates a skin for the mesh as well
