Hi folks,
here is another ongoing project



Just wanted your comments on this one.

WOOO!!!! SOOO GOOD MATE!!

[BLOWHARD]

Looking good! I'd like to see the panel lines a little lighter myself but it does look good so far!

[Aircraftprofiles]

Looking good !!! I really would like to know if you find a good reference for the rotor junction...

This looks like very soild work !!!

I've taken this coment into account.

I also corrected alot of stuff, but barely visible at this picture size + began to add some details.



I'm working on rotors and as usual on a shopper, it's swallowing time. Too ugly for now to display

And for Aircraftprofiles, I'll send soon a link to a picture I found on the web for the rotor junction (I suppose you mean the tail, correct ?)

Looking fabulous, Stephane, the shading is making the shape look spot on. Well done! Don't listen to BH about the panel lines, have you ever seen a clean Navy chopper? Are you going to take the plunge and do a stopped rotor head?

I think for this one, as I have short time, the rotor won't be stopped.

On the other side, I'm working on a NH-90, and for this one I'll take the plunge. You'll see soon.

Hi guys,

here to show you some progress (mostly details, cockpit interior, floaters, begining of wheels, ...)



and to show you also the details I'm working on



PS: no idea how to make the effect of a running rotor. Any advice ?
I accept vectorial even bitmap ideas.

As for the rotating effect:

[Ugo Crisponi]

Usually I prepare the rotor blades in a stright line, not curved as they are in the static modo. Than apply a slight motion blur effect and gaussian fade. Every blade has three layers with different fadig gradients.

The tail rotor simply apply a spin motion effect with Corel.
