+Brain32 265 Posted September 13, 2012 I also have an F-5 cockpit in works, it's a CF-5A cockpit, yours looks very good so far btw. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+sophocles 1,345 Posted September 13, 2012 I also have an F-5 cockpit in works, it's a CF-5A cockpit, yours looks very good so far btw. Ooooooh! I'd love to see it! Coming from you it'll be darn good!! Maybe we could talk about commonality? I'm thinking of super-detailing mine .. perhaps we could avoid duplication of labour?

I think some level of cooperation would be quite cool actually, here's a picture of a crude wip in-game, it has more elements but they are not mapped so the don't show up in game...drop me a PM or something so we can arrange something :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+sophocles 1,345 Posted September 30, 2012 Hello all, just a small update, getting all the details into the cockpit. There's plenty more to do .. I'm also thrilled to say that Brain32 and I are joining forces to complete the cockpit! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Centurion-1 1,228 Posted September 30, 2012 Haha that stick is crazy hi-poly, but also incredibly nice looking! This plane's gonna rock! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+sophocles 1,345 Posted September 30, 2012 Haha that stick is crazy hi-poly, but also incredibly nice looking! This plane's gonna rock! Hello Centurion-1, it's not as high-poly as one might think. With only one meshmooth iteration, the polycount is just under a K Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thodouras95 25 Posted September 30, 2012 (edited) Holy Moly, that is simply επικό!I've wanted to get started with 3D modelling ever since I was like 10, but all I can do for now is some sketchup basic models. Again, great work.Looking forward to downloading it! Edited September 30, 2012 by thodouras95 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+russouk2004 6,958 Posted September 30, 2012 Good stuff...one tip...when u have finished each mesh...look at it from behind and delete any polys you cant see from front...suprising how many you can remove and reduce the total count by. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FastCargo 412 Posted October 7, 2012 Sweet! One thing...you may want to take a look at my T-38A cockpit I did. The MAX file is available in the Modder's section and you may be able to use some of the stuff I did for it since a lot of the parts for the F-5A and T-38A were similar.

FC Thankyou very much FastCargo! Your own tremendous work on the F-5 (especially like the 2-seaters) was a true inspiration! I'd love to see your work .. off to look for it now Roger on the T-38 similarities; I've used many T-38 pics for reference already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
