PilotDaryl, may I ask how are you planning to texture the plane? With UVW unwrap?

Simpson · September 20, 2008, 01:11:34 AM

Very fine topic, and also great work

PLT · September 20, 2008, 01:41:16 AM

Congratz with your new team room!

I was amazed by all the things you are planning, and I think the E-jets, and Fokkers will make a fine addition to any airport.

Greetz,
PLT (PT at simtropolis)

that's look good !

This new milestone means the MD-80 fuselage textures are complete!

How do you like that pic? 3 views of one plane!

There are also lots of details there that you can't see...

Fatsuhono: Thanks! I can't wait for more of your Fokker 100 progress!

XiahouDun: It's solid, but it's as light as gas...

it can fly! Thanks!
simsmart:

Canuck3360: No exclamation mark? HOW DARE YOU

Just kidding.

Thanks!
art128: Thanks! Your MD looks great too!

Fatsuhono · October 10, 2008, 05:42:52 PM

Pilotdaryl, looking beautiful! I am in desperate for making the wings though...

The textures are looking really good.

simsmart · October 10, 2008, 07:26:43 PM

I always though that the MD-80 was ugly.

But this is far, far, far, far, far, from ugly.

art128 · October 11, 2008, 01:26:51 AM

and the texture are great

Good job

This week has been a very busy one for me. Let's take a look at our overall progress:

Apparently, the wing texture has more realism in it than I anticipated.

Instead of just plain lines, etc. on the wings that represent flaps, etc. I decided to take it to the next level after looking at some real-life pictures and added some darker and more metallic sections that really spice up the texture. You might notice these sections reflect more sky than the rest of the wing. This is why the wing appears somewhat bluish. By adding a sky reflections to the wings in GIMP, I noticed a certain level of realism there that doesn't involve modeling everything down to the last bolt.

It's like I took the texture from a real-life picture

and no, I didn't.

Fatsuhono: Thanks! I might be able to help you with that

RustyXL: So are yours!

simsmart: Far, far, far, far far? This is the ugliest thing I've ever seen

just joking. It is one of the most beautiful

art128: Thanks, Arthur!
tabi: Hey, thanks! Good luck with your projects!

Fatsuhono · October 17, 2008, 07:59:01 PM

Amazing work Daryl, I love the wings!

You made it look somewhat like the Raytrace in MAX, which I am planning to use. Amazing!

RustyXL · October 17, 2008, 08:32:27 PM

Wow Daryl, those wings are looking awesome!
