Grinch's WIP Thread

[+GrinchWSLG 24]

Figured it be easier for me to just keep this all in one thread.

 

Now that my ATC training is finally winding down (12 more hours and I'm up for final check out!!!) I've had time to get back in modelling. I've been getting a little better so my work rate is more comfortable and less frustrating now as well.

 

Here's some pics of misc. stuff I'm currently working on. The high detail stuff will obviously be toned down for the game engine.

Wow that sure is good looking stuff!

[Wrench 9,848]

hmmmmm....is that the Templehoff terminal I spy???

 

love that airbase ... needed something like that like, forever!!

[+GrinchWSLG 24]

Nope, not Tempelhof, although that is a good idea. I love Tempelhof.

 

Its New Chitose, both the airfield and the terminal. Its the start of a potential Hokkaido campaign. I'm sort of waiting to see what happens with the new F-14 game and whether or not we get a new terrain engine for it. Till then I'm keeping my eyes peeled for good terrain tile stand ins.

Hokkaido campaign would be cool.

Tha airport layout looks prommising!!!

[+GrinchWSLG 24]

New project...

 

 

Still early, some parts are obviously stand-ins. Hopefully tomorrow night I can get the fins finished, then its detail work.

I guess the YF-18 is no longer going to be worked on?

[+GrinchWSLG 24]

The YF-19 was my first model. As such, its really poorly done, although it looks okay in screen shots. Whenever I open it up now though, I'm really not happy with it. Once I get a few projects done that I'm working on I'd like to go back and rebuild it and remap it. The YF-19 is still my favorite fictional bird, so I'm definitely going to find the time for it.

 

I've also been having trouble working with my older projects in Max. For some reason any models that I've mapped and textured cause all kinds of crashes and so forth. So going back and making improvements is almost impossible. I was trying to make a Ver 2.0 of the Fletcher but Max would just not work right. I may have to just throw out the mapping.

[+GrinchWSLG 24]

With the fins on and animated I couldn't resist a little test drive. The game engine has pretty good smoothing.

 

 

[+GrinchWSLG 24]

Well I think its ready for mapping...

 

 

[+GrinchWSLG 24]

CBU's done. Now mapping. I hate mapping.

 

[+Soulfreak 6,524]

I hate mapping.

 

I think every 3D modder hates it....

 

But it looks pretty nice so far!

[+WhiteBoySamurai 1,094]

Oh wow, is that the Yamato up there?? I can tell it's going to be awesome already.

[+GrinchWSLG 24]

Off to the texturer.

 

[+Dave 2,322]

Better to give 100% if given the chance.

 

[+Dave 2,322]

Added your textures and re uploaded the pack. Thankbro.

[+JAT81500 135]

These are marvelous, congrats

 

Are you plannng to make Navy's CBU-78 as well ?

[+EricJ 4,245]

Looking nice, maybe you can work on newer models of the Paveway series... the Bunyap ones are pretty dated...
