LtDorito Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 (edited) Hello Everyone! This forum topic is to show my ongoing project that I am working on. Also for people interested in the project to follow it's progress. (This Project is not a priority, I work on it in my free time, so development of this mod will not be quick. ALSO DISCLAIMER - I'm a learning 3D Modeler so Modelling, Texturing, Detailing are all things I'm new to and learning.) Introducing, - | Project: TacNog | - What is Project: TacNog?: Project: TacNog meaning Tactical Noggin, is a mod that replaces one of the hats with my tactical helmet model which will have its very own textures, normal map, ambient occlusion map. Why am I making it?: I'm making this mod for RP Communities that Have SWAT/SRU/SCO19 or any tactical response unit. I was initially asked to make a skin by a community I was making skins for, to make one that resembles SCO19. Which I thought I would try one up and make a character model for them with Plate Carriers, and all that tactical gear. After some experimenting, which you can see the result of some testing I did HERE. I stopped working on it and thought about doing a Tactical Helmet, Some time later here we are after some research and messing around. This Mod is also a learning experience for me to learn 3D Modelling as a step towards my dream job of a Game Developer. When will it be released?:Simple answer is I Don't Know, It will be released when I have finished the models and done a lot of testing to make sure textures don't look bad, and overall it will need to be a good quality mod before I'm prepared to release it. (This is if I never Discontinue the project)----------------------------------------- My Progress So Far | As of: April 6th 2021 -----------------------------------------*These images do not represent the final mod, these are mid development images.* In these images you see the base model of my mod, with just a plane black texture, the normal map, Ambient Occlusion map, Metallic and Smoothness Map has not been touched as of yet, which is what the weird reflections, grooves and the shadows on are on the model. You are only seeing the characters that the helmet fits the best on. the others have the strap going through there jaw, so work still needs to be done. There will be more detail to the model such as the front head mount where Night Vision Goggles would go, Side rail mounts where you would mount a Flashlight or so on. I am happy to answer any questions regarding this mod Edited May 22, 2021 by LtDorito 1 1 LtDorito | Mod Creator "When someone says you can't do it, do it twice and take pictures" View My Profile || LtDorito#1086 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may look into working on the project every now and then, but I do not want to promise anything. Hope this answered your question LtDorito | Mod Creator "When someone says you can't do it, do it twice and take pictures" View My Profile || LtDorito#1086 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuma206 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 do you think you could just upload the unfinished files? if you still have them? cause even the unfinished version looks really good. It'd be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
