Wanna bet?

It will do loop-da-loops, I'll even post the video footage to prove it.

I am sure Solo loves a challenge. Looking forward to seeing this bird in the sky.

I had an Arch Professor, who looking over my shoulder at anyone of my drawings would say. . .

"Lovely. . .but it 'll never fly. . ." so . .. Take if from me. . .It's the highest of compliments!

Ok, so I promised the reference image so here it is.
THIS IS NOT MY RENDERING

Anyway, like I said before, this was for my practice. To see if I could do it and I believe I came pretty darn close. I know there is a little piece under the fuselage that I did not model. I did not find it very appealing, so I just made the missiles instead
And again, all credit for design goes to "cannon" on the Modo Forum.

Now if I can only do half as good a job with the textures and rendering I will be happy

fantastic Eric! and yet people will still say modo does not render well......Wait until 401!

I take it the manufacturers have not discovered the advantages of green technology.

Very nice Modo render.

Are you also planning to rust, age and distress your model?

I love dirty renders but I think yours should be bold, bright and clean... or do both.

If you need any rusty textures that you cannot find online, let me know.

boofredlay

Thanks Pete. Check your email.

solo

Eric.

Very well modeled, easy to texture as it was grouped correctly.

I did a quick render with Vue, no post processing, clouds and smoke are all rendered using the meta cloud options.
Rendered in 17mins on i7.

This is a small image (for posting) I have a larger 300dpi one if you want it.

I will do an animation of the actual flight soon.

As my dad would say... Beautimus!

Send me a copy of the large if you will. Great render for a quickie.

solo

Sent, I was not sure about the scale of the pilot, so I took the size of a rivet to guage it.

boofredlay i love the modelling work and also the render work from solo, cant wait to see it on animation, congrats!!

Shouldn't there be a radial blur for a rotating propeller?

Great render Pete!

There is no propeller Scott.

Amazing model Eric and an excellent render from Pete.
