I had this mesh sitting on the hard drive unfinished for a while so I decided to finish it. I have kept it Sub D and it has has a finished poly count of 7.5k I suppose I had better paint it.

Mikala · 11th January 2008, 01:27 PM

Yes a paint job would be excellent!
Nice clean looking mesh. Could we see some wireframes?

BillS · 11th January 2008, 05:28 PM

And Bill slams into the door as he runs into the room!!!

Steps on his tongue and trips....

ahem...

Looks great- waiting for more

Osul · 12th January 2008, 03:17 AM

Great job sir !

chrisken · 12th January 2008, 08:14 AM

I have corrected a few inaccuracies in the mesh that were kindly pointed out over at milmesh,base of fin ,rudder post and gun ports. I have attached a partial wire to give a clear image of mesh.Off to the paint shop.

TheGreatRaja · 12th January 2008, 10:52 AM

looks little odd in place (flow wise) but it look good otherwise :P

Mikala · 12th January 2008, 10:56 AM

Okay who melted the wireframe?

TheGreatRaja · 12th January 2008, 10:57 AM

I think it was Bill when he drooled all over it

geeze get a mop!

Mikala · 12th January 2008, 11:04 AM

I knew it! He is part alien!

BillS · 12th January 2008, 11:10 AM

Damn... my secret is out!

Now I'll have to kill both of you!!!

I don't think that first one is going to fly... I don't care how much power you put in it.

chrisken · 14th January 2008, 06:53 AM

Here you go BillS ,a fresh coat of paint.Just started the paint job,still a few tweaks needed around wing root poly flow. The scheme is the aircraft of "Wumm" Schnell who was a highly successful ace and a long-time commander of 9/JG 2.

BillS · 14th January 2008, 12:50 PM

Oh I like that!!!

Rigel · 14th January 2008, 01:24 PM

That looks good.

BillS · 14th January 2008, 04:42 PM

and he really had something against spitfires by the look of it.

chrisken · 15th January 2008, 09:32 AM

Started diffused and bump maps and added a dirt layer to color map

BillS · 15th January 2008, 05:59 PM

I didn't see it.. Are you modeling in Modo or LW? Just wondering if it WAS modo if you were painting it there?

Modeling SubD in MODO and painting in Photoshop

BillS · 15th January 2008, 09:03 PM

Have you tried painting in modo? I haven't had chance to play with it.

Have not got around to it yet myself.

chrisken · 17th January 2008, 02:34 PM

A small amount of progress on weathering and wing top specular map.

bfx · 17th January 2008, 02:45 PM

Nice work.

It's coming along nicely.

chrisken · 20th January 2008, 07:04 AM

Have added specular maps to fuse and think I am gettin the hang of it.

Cougar12dk · 20th January 2008, 07:10 AM

Hehey

You've made some good progress with the paintjob. Will keep an eye on this

BillS · 20th January 2008, 07:38 AM

Its getting better and better. The spec seems a little flat though. There should be some variations in it for ripples in the skin. Smoke from the guns would have a lower spec value. The seams on the panel lines would have a higher value. Same with all the little bits that the crews and pilots would play with would have higher or lower values depending on who would be using it. Pilots would be cleaner than crew etc. Its the variations that bring it to life.

dnkids · 20th January 2008, 10:29 AM

It is looking good, brings me back to my old 1/8th scale RC model I had as a kid..would love to see this dogfight with a Spitfire or a P-40

chrisken · 23rd January 2008, 12:53 PM

More work on weathering and specular maps.

Cougar12dk · 23rd January 2008, 12:56 PM

Niiiice

that's about the thoughts I can collect at the moment

Very nice even

nessie · 23rd January 2008, 01:27 PM

looks sweet indeed
