+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted September 16, 2009 Author Posted September 16, 2009 thx have now smoothed the gearbay cover, looks nicer Quote
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted September 16, 2009 Author Posted September 16, 2009 The grating moves with the gear down, thought about a speed antry but the gear animation works better, vector thrust also implemented, not perfect now. It`s my first try ave some ideas about the afterburner! Quote
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted September 17, 2009 Author Posted September 17, 2009 Everytime I see those perfect models from Bobrock, Erikgen, the MF Team and the CA Team, it`s every time an inspiration for me to say, hey this is not perfect.. it can be done better! So I tried the last few hours to resolve shadow issues and holes in my mesh, still not perfect but better than befor. thx to all for the inspiration Quote
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted September 20, 2009 Author Posted September 20, 2009 Ok the current status is out for testing.. still WIP max file over 50MB LOD nearly 2MB but works good ingame 1 Quote
+SUICIDAL Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 It has very good color. I like the details he was giving. Continuing in this way Blackbird Marcos Quote
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted September 20, 2009 Author Posted September 20, 2009 To show what we are talking about hope you like it Quote
+SUICIDAL Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 Huaa that sexy. You know if you make a fuss. Very good technique has Blackbird. It's all very smooth and soft. PD: Me gusto ,muy bueno Marcos Quote
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted September 20, 2009 Author Posted September 20, 2009 Thx suiciddal, I can say the same about your Viggen! Can`t wait to see my bird painted... Quote
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted September 20, 2009 Author Posted September 20, 2009 (edited) Was talking to 101tfs and he showed me I was a bit wrong with the proportions and shape... corrected it now only need to remodel the position of the cnaopy than it shoul dbe ready for other details ;-) thx to 101tfs on the bottom pic is the right shape black outlined and my old shape together with the remodeled plane Edited September 20, 2009 by 76.IAP-Blackbird Quote
+Brain32 Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 Ok the current status is out for testing.. still WIP max file over 50MB LOD nearly 2MB but works good ingame I rarely give suggestions to 3D modellers as I have apsolutely no knowledge on that, so please don't take this as me being a smartass or something.. Anyway, if possible please include multiple LOD's(even just one extra can dramatically improve performance), I don't know if many people realize that but that is the mother of good performance while maintaining awsome visuals, you may not notice it with a few planes but when things get busy you really notice the "kick" of high poly models with no multiple lod's and I see that quite a few modellers lately don't really care about multiple lods even some payware guys... Anyway as I previously said, this is just a suggestion, I have no clue how much work is needed for that to be done... Quote
+EricJ Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 (edited) It's simply reducing the detail and making the model more "simpler" because at longer distances the aircraft being rendered far away doesn't need to show all the details as you would need to see close up. If the vehicle is simple enough, you can just remove a majority of decals to the point of the simple shape (ground vehicles mainly). Edited September 20, 2009 by EricJ Quote
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted September 21, 2009 Author Posted September 21, 2009 (edited) I think I will create more LOD`s but for now the reworked shape, now the same procedure like before, eliminate the shadow issues.... grrrrr.. Edited September 21, 2009 by 76.IAP-Blackbird Quote
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted September 22, 2009 Author Posted September 22, 2009 Shape work is nearing the end (ready in two real weeks), finishing the last parts, than reworking some animations @JAT I have realy no idea about the ramps will take a look on them tomorrow, I`m running out of time in RL. hope you guys like this bird Quote
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted September 24, 2009 Author Posted September 24, 2009 vector thrust is working Quote
+FastCargo Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Obviously not true vectored thrust...but looks good. FC Quote
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted September 25, 2009 Author Posted September 25, 2009 You are right FC, it`s just eyecandy, thx you like it Quote
pablo10692 Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Blackbird! This plane is getting better and better as you post new screenshots! :good: Good work on this man! Quote
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted September 26, 2009 Author Posted September 26, 2009 I will try to reduce teh poly count a bit and create multiple LOD`s for a better performance one other LOD is sure more maybe, hope this will works Quote
MaverickMike Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 (edited) This looks awesome. Can't wait to put this head to head with a raptor!!!! Hav'nt decided which one im going to be flying yet though (May well turn red to fly this beast!!!) Edited September 26, 2009 by MaverickMike Quote
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted September 29, 2009 Author Posted September 29, 2009 So I have the Rafale and there is an amount of work to do on this bird, there is more than 60% missing parts, no ailerons or other stuff, no gearbay and more .... Quote
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted October 23, 2009 Author Posted October 23, 2009 (edited) Some WIP the normal 25 is the one from NF4 and we are working on it to make it flyable and it will recieve a more detailed LOD, the time run out on this project. hope you like it Edited October 23, 2009 by 76.IAP-Blackbird Quote
