+Wrench Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 It NEEDS a better pit than the Meteor I been using!!!! Quote
+Veltro2k Posted September 8, 2011 Author Posted September 8, 2011 (edited) Im no expert but will try my best. Good ref is hard to come buy I l'll use the pics of the FSX vautour I found on the web Edited September 8, 2011 by Veltro2k Quote
+Veltro2k Posted September 9, 2011 Author Posted September 9, 2011 looks good! Naming the guages and needles and mapping is going to be a tough one Quote
Centurion-1 Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Wow, you've come a long way! My suggestion regarding mapping would be to map everything with an ambient occlusion map in mind, ie do not reuse such areas that might get affected in some important way by the AO map (a good tutorial to get you started http://everflow.com/support/tutorials/AO/Everflow_AmbientOcclusion1.html). The AO texture blended in with the diffuse texture will take care of a lot of the visual realism I think. I probably think you could up the polycount somewhat too, to get nicer lightning and shading. Todays GFX cards can handle the polys! It's easy to get stuck in a mode where one conserves polys more than necessary, been there done that Just my constructive criticism, I wish you the best of luck. Quote
+Brain32 Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Naming the guages and needles and mapping is going to be a tough one Maping cockpit comparing to mapping external model is what layups are for dunking, much, much easier. With gauges just name them to what they do, if it's altimeter name it needle_alt, speedometer needle_spd etc. etc. You have lot's of examples in the ini's Btw. it looks quite good I would put a bit more polys into the canopy bow but that's me, keep it up it looks cool Quote
+Veltro2k Posted September 11, 2011 Author Posted September 11, 2011 something like this I guess Quote
+Cliff7600 Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 (edited) I'm surprised to see the speedometer in kmph... Look, this photo is supposed to be a Vautour anemometer Edited September 11, 2011 by Cliff11 Quote
+Veltro2k Posted September 11, 2011 Author Posted September 11, 2011 I'm surprised to see the speedometer in kmph... Look, this photo is supposed to be a Vautour anemometer this was just a trial to see how its going to look like Quote
+Cliff7600 Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 Well, it's going to look very good A cool cockpit for the Vautour :) Quote
+suhsjake Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 Way to go Veltro! Keep up the good work. Quote
Centurion-1 Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Damn you work fast (or you have A LOT of spare time ) you almost have a complete cockpit already! Quote
+Veltro2k Posted September 13, 2011 Author Posted September 13, 2011 Damn you work fast (or you have A LOT of spare time ) you almost have a complete cockpit already! Spare time hmmm let me think does 3 years of unemployment give me spare time ??? I guess so Quote
+Wrench Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 oh, lordy ... don't I know that one .... 5, next Feburary. Too much spare time sucks.... Quote
Centurion-1 Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Hmm.. yeah I guess, I only tried that for 6 months after my military service. Was enough, I gather.. I hope you get on your feet soon boys! And in the meantime, keep making those awesome mods Quote
+Veltro2k Posted September 14, 2011 Author Posted September 14, 2011 oh, lordy ... don't I know that one .... 5, next Feburary. Too much spare time sucks.... Kev..I dont mind the time , its the money drought that hurts the most Quote
