I'm going to fiddle around with the lighting some more but before that, here's two pics of my latest work.

After making some changes:

GOOD: The sand casts slight shadows on itself.
BAD: The gunship doesn't cast a shadow on the sand.
It could be cause the light's coming from almost all directions and the gunship is narrow compared to something like a roof, so there's no shadow underneath. Might have to work on it some more.

Its rather lacking in flight controls. And please don't inline such huge pictures as they make discussion impossible.

In response, I might add tiny thrusters at the front and end for balance.
Those two big thrusters: each can turn independently, and decrease/increase thrust independently. Additionally, the exhaust is actually two exhausts. Changing power in one or the other helps to maneuver.

That's a really bad and dangerous solution, canards and possibly a tail rotor make far more sense.Shinova wrote:In response, I might add tiny thrusters at the front and end for balance.

G-Police!
That cockpit needs more work, it's too fighter-like, it doesn't allow for downward visibility.

Re: Longbow Apache-like gunship
Needs some subdividing on edges, smoothing, and change texture on cockpit. Sand's color is too unrealistic. Can you export to DXF for me to play with it?Shinova wrote:I'm going to fiddle around with the lighting some more but before that, here's two pics of my latest work.

Anything worth the cost of a missile, which can be located on the battlefield, will be shot at with missiles. If the US military is involved, then things, which are not worth the cost if a missile will also be shot at with missiles. -Sea Skimmer

Where's it listed in Maya?

It's a file format- probably under autocad format or something. Preferably lowest version. I don't use Maya, so I don't know.

So basically, smooth the edges, right?salm wrote:nice work. you might want to chamfer the edges a bit though. nothing in real life is as sharp as the edges on thta machine.

So can you give me a DXF version of the file? I don't use Maya, so I don't know what files it imports or exports. Email me at jhnphm @ yahoo.com. Try saving in autocad format, or just export to all of them and zip them up.
