      This one looks better for sure.
      Now that is quite a collection you´ve got there, Ultimatez. Do you keep them low poly for a reason ( using in game maybe ) ?

          Thanks for the comments guys!
          Numbthumb, I keep them low-poly as I plan to sell them someday and currently all the planes I know in the market except in formfonts are high poly. Also, high poly destroys my laptop 😉
          Anyways, just to let you know, all the planes I've made so far are all under 5000 polys; actually my highest poly plane is about 3600 polys.

            So your plan is to get rich? 😉

            No, seriously, if it´s about your laptop ( among other things ), then I really hope you are going to upgrade soon.

            What do you mean there are no low poly models on the market except in FormFonts ? What about TurboSquid or Exchange3D for instance ?

            Personally, I am still struggling with level of details, and I tend to "overload" my models.
            As Antoine de Saint-Exupery said: A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

            I hope someday I´ll know that.

              Hi numbthumb,

              no, I'm not planning to get rich, scratch that post. Actually I think that I have no absolute reason why I model them low poly. Also, I'm probably wrong about that whole low poly thing too; I don't check out those websites too often. I'll probably make a new plane with more polys soon, but then again I can't stand the sight of that black gooeyness, so I'll make one with no more than 20.000 polys. Ok then, that's my limit.

                That "getting rich" part was only a joke.
                And please note that I am not bothered by the number of polys either.
                I was just curious.
                What paint scheme are you going to use on your Tepmest?

                  Hi numbthumb,

                  Probably the paint scheme would be something like this:

                    Tiny update, added the nose-cone, propellers and I also flipped the plane to make the full body.

                      Are those markings of No.6 RAF Squadron?

                        Hi guys,

                        I'm not really good at texturing this tempest so if anyone here would like to texture/render it, here's the file.

                              hey,

                              I finally stared one: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=27219

                              but still have no idea, how to texture the whole thing (rivets,...)
                              You know how to do that?

                              'To Start Press Any Key'. Where's the ANY key?

                                  Hi Unkr3at1v,

                                  Do you mean the texturing, or placing the rivets themselves?
                                  If it's texturing you simply use the projection method, or if you mean placing the rivets then probably use the drop ruby; place the rivets above the aircraft itself, and then rotate the aircraft 90 degrees. Nice wip so far.

                                            Hi Mike,

                                            No, I haven't tried the extrusion set yet but I'll probably soon. Numbthumb, yeah, your right, I don't use many plugins, even though I have a very large plugin menu. I do though, use weld and fredoscale in nearly all of my aircraft, including the heinkel. What do you guys think of the render?
