The Samson - Avatar Movie 2009

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. -
L to the Iam,
Bring the 887.
Nice, pour one.
Reviewing trailer for said film, I've noted your tail action is quite different from the movie version: SA-2 Samson... Perhaps yours is another model?
Have you been communing with the grays?
Once I viewed the Jack bird trailer for this film, and the YouTube video posted by all knowing Solo, I knew that designers working on this "show" had been receiving information from the meat puppets.
This kind of duel prop action is all the rage with them, as it allows for stable flight while viewing adult materials stolen from us -- our hard work -- they think nothing of ripping us off, so it's only right to return the favor.
I trust you know this L887, and you Solo, and are attempting to do the same -- more power to you in these Jack action efforts.
Bring it all around now.

"Reviewing trailer for said film, I've noted your tail action is quite different from the movie version: SA-2 Samson... Perhaps yours is another model? " lol for once you have said something that can be understood without reading twice haha.
yeah your right basically mine is a variant of the SA-2, its a combat search and rescue model. Ive made smaller doors, added a winch, door gunner, longer profile, sensor package on front, refuel boom, more powerful engine, added wheels instead of skids, changed the tail profile. basically its a different chopper save the rotors and the cockpit profile. I based it loosely on the merlin and puma helicopters in shape and the pavelow/pavehawk in function. When finished it will either be finished in the Royal Marines colours or Royal Air Force (UK).
