New Su-34 Production Thread

[Wrench 9,847]

be sure to make sure the model is broken into enough meshes ..

nose, fuselage, tail, r/l vert fins, r/l stabs and most important, inner and outer wing meshes. Vitally imperative for damage modeling (and decaling)

[UllyB 1,206]

roger that.

Hi UllyB,

thanks for sharing the progress on that project that is welcomed by so many people.

Can I point out a few areas?

Check the last pics, where the nose pitot connects with the nose, seems that this area isn*t smoothed properly. you can see the edgy 3D mesh there.

Another point it, the angle of the whole front intakes, isnt straight as in your model, but slightly angled outward.

Check that reference pic, you can see the angle for the intake on the frontal pic


Here you can see the angle a bit better on a real plane



And check the top part of the intakes, it is a smaller, kind of lip, than the larger edgy are in the current model



Check the ladder for the entrance for the pilots and the little slit on the underside of the intakes, im not sure if it closes during faster flight or if it remains open, someone should clarify it


If you guys plan to build a pit?!:

If you have questions or i wasn't clear enough with my comments, just PM as always 

So far, fantastic work!!! Really cool!

If I may add a short comment too, the ECM pods on the wing tips should not be attached to the missile rails as they are currently in the model. In reality and as visible on the pictures above, either missile rails or ECM pods are attached to the wing tips. In other words, when you want to load missiles on the wing tips, you remove the ECM pods and place missile rails instead.

Thanks guys. I will pass your observations to the contractor team. Rest assure, I'll will always take into considerations your opinions.

PS- I already stated that there won't be NOW, with the Su-34 release a cockpit, so Martin keep that photo for when the time will be right, in the near future. Thanks anyway.

If i could add to Svetlin post, the plane can carry air to air missiles in the 2 outer wing stations and those pylons are different than the air to ground ones, same goes true with the under engine nacelles and under fuselage stations, those are things that slowed our Fitters somehow...

[UllyB 1,206]

Sure thing man, I pass all the observations to the team. I'll be staying on station for a few more days for your feedback to relay them to the team.

[UllyB 1,206]

well today I have sad news for you. The contractor let me know that it cancellled the project for unknown reasons. That's all I can tell you. 

I just wanted to offer you something and I failed. I am sorry. Anyway my offer stands if anyone is wishing to take it up again.

Relax brother, you didn't "fail" anything .. agreements and negotiations go south all the time!  Good on you for trying!

[+daddyairplanes 10,236]

you went to contribute in a fashion that you could. it went south, as things do from time to time. no worries and hopefully it gets back running again

[+FLOGGER23 3,064]

I will try to revive this post, i am trying to learn max myself and got this model free from internet, i will be updating it to SF2 standards since it has too many polys

[+FLOGGER23 3,064]

Adding more details now

[+FLOGGER23 3,064]

And adding Pylons now, thanks to Laszlo

[+FLOGGER23 3,064]

More or less the different weapon stations so far (2 pylons pending)

 

[+FLOGGER23 3,064]

Sway Braces and Big Pylon Done...

 

[+daddyairplanes 10,236]

looks good (better than i can likely hope to do)

[Wilches 1,172]

Going better and fast! Note the wingtip fence of the latest models:

 

[+FLOGGER23 3,064]

On the list ;) as well as i will TRY to make the 2 different cockpits and plane layouts (early and late) wish me luck on this enterprise, because i will need all the possible help...

To the client, what he asks for (under certain conditions, hehehe) 

And 

 

And Some some small advances, as i got some fever and my whole body aches a bit ;) 

More to come next week, i hope...

 

 

[JosefK 911]

Waiting patiently for this very project.  Update please?

[madvad 654]

Project stopped?

[Spinners 15,986]

Two weeks...

[+FLOGGER23 3,064]

Well, i am figuring several animations and MUST correct the landing gear, as well as to lower some unnecessary polys, so, yes, may take a bit to get it done...
