Really nice, Liam...
But you seem to have an issue with the geometry...
In some places it loos as if the surface isn't smooth...
How does it look in SU...??
I would assume that you can eliminate it completely from the renders...yeah its not a problem, parts of the model with issues are just parts im still working on
-
I've always admired your work.
small details, and the general impression of reality. -
That is beautiful
I like the nod to Weyland-Yutani in the title bar too
Is this going to be released into the public domain ? I'm trying to build a radio-controlled version of the Samson, but my draughting skills are severely lacking and trying to find good quality images from which to take dimensions is proving harder than I thought. -
I will release it eventually when its finished but in the meantime I could make some orthographic plans for you to work with if you want? I thought about making a RC version but I dont have the skills for a dual ducted fan model. I have a scale spitfire its pretty big with an 6ft wingspan but not finished as I havent had any spare change to buy a two stroke engine of multi channel RC controller those things are expensive
so its on ice in the attic for now, good luck with it however! Contact me via email if you want to sort out some scale plans liamk887@gmail.com. Here are some simple orthos of the basic shape if they are any help.More work on the samson, have replaced the rocket launchers with extra tanks for more fuel as this version will probably be a search and rescue so no need for weapons.

Ooooh! these are great, screaming for a Thea render.
If you have not got the time...I do (hint).
-
Here are some shots of the other two helicopters for some scale comparison. I have stripped out the interiors and tiny details from all three (thank god for layers) to make the file smaller do they all fit on the screen at once without melting the computer.
Im going to do some illustrative renders like I did for the batman tumbler http://liam887.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/final-shot1.jpg
but the newest version of the search and rescue will have the full works in Thea. I only have access to my laptop right now so dont expect anything special ill probably just be playing with materials and lighting for the next few weeks.
-
Yeah I was eventually going to be cheeky and just ask you to do it for me lol
and them make a background in vueIts still got a lot of work to do but im making a test model for thea, basically stripping the interior and closing the doors and windows and using the lighter model to test materials and environments on my already strained laptop. Ill email you the file next week will have finished it by then.
I also need to update my Thea im about two releases behind doh! -
Sounds great, I'm game.
-
Nice work on the different versions of the Samson. I'm not sure which one I like best, but they're all pretty cool.
