Incredible Cross Sections: Airliner
-
What's your source material? So far I'm highly impressed it really is taking shape fast.
-
Just my head really and obv when im doing certain things like windows and doors ill use photographs to try and get the shape right. But im a big plane buff from when I was very young, I was actually doing my private pilots license out of Liverpool Flying School, i got far enough to take off fly for an hour and land myself (dual controls however never been solo) until I ran out of money haha. Maybe when I finish Uni and get a real job I will continue. I know where all the bits and bobs are supposed to go and what they are supposed to do as long as I get the important bits in should be ok.
Ive also got these big manuals from my uncle called warplane, ive got 9 volumes and each one has hundreds of full pull out spreads of military cross sectioned aircraft, ive read them from when I was little (they are from the late 80's early 90's) so I know how these things are put together. Of course with this aircraft its all about looks rather than technical accuracy lol.This isnt going to be a real design more of a mish mash, its obv in the future but only maybe 10 years+.

This is pretty impressive stuff!! Liam have you tried using Twilight instead of exporting/importing to KT? there is a free trial version, limited res etc.

I'm on a mac too!!
Get vmware fusion or use bootcamp to run windows. with vmware you can instantly switch between windows/mac....its just like opening another application, all your files are instantly mirrored as well. with vmware just boot windows from a disk image. its soooooo easy.look at my screengrab (yes my desktop's messy lol). windows running at same time. If you buy windows version the license is transferable to mac version when it comes out, sorry i don't work for twilight or anything, im just preempting a question haha
-
lol ive got xp on bootcamp dont worry im just lazy I hate swapping as my itunes is only on my mac partition to save space (XP Partition only 30GB), I only use it for 3dsmax and games but now that SU just cant handle the model when exporting it kerk I guess ive got no choice lol. Ive downloaded the demo ill install it laster and hopefully have a render soon!!
-
Well I had to remove all of the chairs and although it doesnt look it I went back and remade each section cutting out as many polys as I could wihtout spending too much time on the model.
Started work on the back engine intake.
-
Amazing work. It's almost unbeleivable that this is a sketchup model. Your really pushing SU to the extreme.
-
thanks, well lets hope not hey ive got too much still to go before my computer is allowed to implode.
-
Lol, by now, it's entitled to do so! -
No ill be fine for a while, the file now is at 40MB be able to get up to 100MB before I start experiencing problems.
-
Reworking the aircraft, added some new engines, going to scrap the wings and nose and go concord on this bad boy. Some sort of hybrid engines are added now, ignore the material I was just playing around!
-
well the kerk file has no risen to 480MB (46MB in SU) my little macbook pro is having problems editing it in SU so im taking it to a maters house and installing it on his overclocked mega PC hopefully ill be able to get some faster renders from that wish me luck!!!!
-
started fleshing out the wings and new hinge nose.
-
Looking good. Making it supersonic was a good idea.
-
yeah the other idea was too bulky, hopefully when its painted up in a nice british airways scheme it will be a nice tribute to Concorde.
-
bit more start with the interior soon!
-
Really awesome Liam very well done, minor crit Concord Tribute "designed by Boeing?????..I don't think so ....
But very impressive well done
-
Yeah when I say tribute I just meant looks-wise, didnt mean another anglo-french build.
Well as you can see from the start everything is subject to change anyway!
