The Samson - Avatar Movie 2009
-
Well finished the tail today not sire weather to add a NOTAR style tail or another ducted fan? Anyway here it is so far and also posted a wireframe.
Need to do the engines as well as finish the rotors and housings they are pretty devoid of details right now.
-
Some more shots, finished the engines. Used Max Grueters Fireman body and pilot head for the doorgunner both from the warehouse. Having problems exporting materials into kerk so made do with the default pack for now, somebody helped me out at another thread so ill see what I can do.
Once ive sussed out lights in kerk ill start to finish the inside of the model first and get some nice photoshop designed control panels in there as well as all the navigation and running lights on the outside.
-
Fantastic Liam you de man gets better and better ....just keep going....please
-
Thnaks! Anyway here is the latest build of the model, ignore the textures it was just a kerk test but the model is accurate but with a lot of changes.
The interior alone is about 18MB and you cant see it with this setup
once I figure out lighting in kerk il do some interior renders and cockpit/troop bay renders!!
-
Nice!...looking forward to the finished model.
-
Thanks! So am I if I ever get there!
-
too much detail and work for me! Great!
-
Would be really cool seeing a Vue animation, of it flying low over trees with the props spinning and all.

yeah thanks thats my ultimate aim but haven't been able to find vue on the mac for student prices or an alternative! Ive still got a lot to do on this so hopefully ill find a good package by then, I know you use vue solo ive visited your site a few times what package is best for me and possibly cheapest/discounted?
-
Added the fuel boom and started work on the cockpit.
-
looking mint mate....but the facets to the circle are distracting. are you sure the render app is applying soft edges? are they soft in sketchup?
-
Thanks Oli, yeah I noticed that and was very disappointed! Im using kerk and this is my first go so I wasn't expecting miracles but this was a bit of a let down. I have somebody who helps me with kerk on another forum im just waiting for a reply.
And no they are not soft edges in SU ill be sure to fix that straight away not sure how to fine tune it in kerk but thanks for the heads up. -
Nice man, great details your putting into it!
And to not see faceted edges just make sure it's smoothed in SU, that should do the work in Kerky, it always did for me
Cheers!
-
Model nearly done just a few more details and smoothing and fixing some geometry and it will be ready for materials and a decent render. Some of the parts such as the wheels are just placeholders until I build some decent ones!
-
really amazing model.
-
thanks, probs be finished tomorrow and then can try and work with kerk setting up lights and decent materials!
-
Fantastic bro! I love the details
-
Looking very good well done
-
Sweet!!
Great attention to detail, lots of hard work you put in, well done mate.
-
thanks, yeah this was a tough one as its quite flowing and more curvy than I am used too. Ive crammed in the detail especially in the interior lets just see how far I can push it now where lighting and texturing is concerned!
More than happy with this model however its exceeded my expectations and ive learnt a lot in terms of new technique and practice along the way! Now its time for some long rendering hours.
