Reference Material


Thats the thing about modding or even building stuff in 3D for a game. The material you assemble before you begin drawing or building is key to getting right, unless you want the wrath of the experts on your ass. Thats what you gotta respect from the larger mod teams who research in detail the differences between the MkII and MkIII version of a weapon or tank. So thats why I put a pause on the FIM92, because there are two things that are wrong with the modding scene.. 1: is there only one arms manufacturer of handheld surface-to-air missiles in the world, and 2: why are there bugger all photos and whatnot on the internet? I'm not the first to ask this deeply philosophical question......

Anyhow, the M72 LAW needed to be built - enjoyed its idea since Operation Flashpoint. One Shot - One Kill, and thats the way it'll be coded for the next release. It won't have 3 reloads or anything, its just for those brown pants moments when you come 'round a corner and see a T72 and all you have is a knife in your hand....So I'll paint it tomorrow and code the projectile and main weapon on Friday. Tomorrow involves a a bit of work on the R-17VTO Aerofon....
