hi yeniceri, can you maybe tell me how many polys and verts the hog has. i need to know cause i have to think about the ammount of the polys and verts i have used for my blackbird right now. i have about 10.400 polys and 11000 vets right now. the wings are fixed and i have managed to get the gearboxes done together with the gear flaps. now i only need the nozzles and the gear. then the basic model is done except two little thigs i am still thinking about. the pilots and at the engine there are someflaps that open when you hit the thruststick into full throttle and light the burner. i am not sure if i should make them and how it would go with the model itself. i tested it a few days ago, with one of the flaps but i had trouble with the model, can tall you via pm if you would like too. greetings borchi

ok guys, one thing is true, the fins are a little bit to small, just by a few inches, but that should not be the problem. i chose to do not to much detail modeling cause it would cost at some detail level fps. right now the fueltank has 183 polys which will sum up to over 500 tris. the fueltank is right in the basic proportions, besides the fins, cause in real life the tank has 7.5 meters in lenght and 0.75 meters in width. everybody can check that at the model. i wanted to make all the details withthe skin but unfortunatly i am involved in my blackbird project to mucch and had no time for the skin, so if anybody ants to give it a try i could give the bmp files to you and also the model. greetings borchi

look for some pages that have tutorials and forums that deal with C4D

hey guys thanks alot so far, i guess there might be some more that you will post. everything you can find that shows some detail of gears or anything else will help. right now the bird has 10000 polys, so there is enough space for some details too. i hope the pilots will not have to many polys in the end though

damn, i tipe in everything correct, pw username and secnumb.. i cannot login, does that happen very often with that page? had the same problem a few hours ago, tried to get in for maybe 15 times and then suddenly it worked i would like to have a look at your nomera files but well hehe, i does not work, damn

hi folks, i have a little request here for you guys. i searched my budd of for pictures of the blackbird front and rear gear. only found 3-4 pics. thats not enough at all how you can imagine. so maybe somebody has some good pics of the gear and can post it. it would help me alot, cause i am getting closer to finish the basic model and made a to do list now for me to stay on track i guess i will make the gear in the following 14 days as far everything works out. ohh by the way the gear is next to the new sr71 pilot one of the 2 last things that are to be done for the model. the 3d cockpit will follow together with the damage model after i am done with the basic model. ehh maybe i will need some people for the first testing after the animations of the basic model are done, so who wants a ride is welcome, i guess 5 -6 tester will be enough to get a solid backfeat greetings borchi

well here is a picture of my hog with my reaper skin, which is not seen from the best angle. it is the old hog, so just imagine the new model and then you maybe get a picture of what the hog could look like on a long cas mission with externals and the new ters. greetings borchi p.s.: do to my grafic designer studies here in berlin i have a good hand at the all known product photoshop :-) so don´t hasitate, when anybody has questions on photoshop just pm me, i am willing to help

lol, yes at our sticks too , little joke

hi yeniceri, does mitch has a psd template for the bird? if so, i would offer you to make some more skins for the hog. i have made some for the existing model, but well we cannot use them for the new one. if you like me to make some, i would need a template with all the diffrent layers. cheers borchi p.s.: by the way, i like most the picture of the hog with its gun firering laser shot :-) , i know that it is no laser ! nice job glowing amraam.

sorry for the padlock forgot about it, when i made the banner, sorry :-)

i like your mod alot, what do you think about testing it, we talked about it allready write me an pm, maybe in the new forum or here greetings boom boom

go for it yeniceri, make the model and finsih the glider. take the time you need, bs takes long too :-) you have ma support, and when you need something just pm me greetings borchi

thats true, and high super sonic lol

ok, good to know that you got the file. maybe once you have time for, you can pm me how to change the filenames of the uvwmaps and not making them useless. uvwmaps are not the prob, i only the change you requested :-) greetings boom boom

hey yeniceri, your pm box in this forum is full, wanted to send you a pm. well then i do it this way. hi yeniceri, i have tried for the last 2 weeks to change the names of the bmp files of the fueltank and to update the uvwmaps, but it did not go the way it should have gone. i have uploaded the max file for you so maybe you can make the uvwmap for mitch, so that he does have a file without the ц. hmm, maybe you can help me when i have problems with the uvwmapping in the future? next map will be the cockpit of the blackbird, cause i decided to do most of it with a skin. but you will see as far i am doing it right here the link for the tankfile: http://rapidshare.com/files/61534329/A10_Tank09.max i hope it is not to late, sorry greetings borchi

well i locked at many pictures for many hours and well i i thought the same, that it is such a big bird, but it is only about 32 meters long. Crew: 2 Payload: 3,500 lb (1,600 kg) of sensors Length: 107 ft 5 in (32.74 m) Wingspan: 55 ft 7 in (16.94 m) Height: 18 ft 6 in (5.64 m) Wing area: 1,800 ft2 (170 m2) Empty weight: 67,500 lb (30 600 kg) Loaded weight: 170,000 lb (77 000 kg) Max takeoff weight: 172,000 lb (78 000 kg) Powerplant: 2Ч Pratt & Whitney J58-1 continuous-bleed afterburning turbojets, 32,500 lbf (145 kN) each Wheel track: 16 ft 8 in (5.08 m) Wheel base: 37 ft 10 in (11.53 m) Aspect ratio: 1.7so it is not way to much bigger then the f-15. i was surprised when i saw pictures of pilots sitting in the cockpit and i thought the same but i had to believe that the bird is smaller then it appears to us. go into a museum and check it for yourself. here we go with a picture of a pilot that might convince you that the bird is not that big at all

ooohhh yeah, thats nice. thanks, i allready have some of the front cockpit and only one of the rear, i can use every picture you guys can give me, especially detail shots from the black bird. there are flaps at the engines which open at full throttle, i am thinkig about modeling them too but i am not sure. what concearns me more is that i do not find any lomtool in the modifier list in which i could look for the canopy refelctions. hmm yeniceri might be able to help out? otherwise i will put a picture on the glas that simulates the reflections of a high flight over the clouds, but i donґt know if it will work in the game though

well news, yes, that i have to fix something at the wing part, to be able to make the gear in the rear :-) might take this week hehe will get it done donґt worry

well these lom-utils... are included in the download file for the lom file plugin for 3d max? i am testing right now with self made reflections for my blackbird, but well it gets on my nerves, hehe, cause i have to fix something at the inner wings area, cause i have made a mistake when i started the model, so, well sometimes when you want something done easy it produces more trouble in the end phase, like it is allways :-) but i guess i will get it fixed, if not, hehe, then i am ....., no no, no worry, i know how to do it, the bird has cost me so much trouble that i got solved then it is a little thing to fix this

thats cool, guys, would like to have the chute bombs to, well the snake eyes, that slow down :-), so that i can go into a target low level

ahh ok got ya :-)

@ pigpen: what do you mean, my fueltanks are not in lockon, ehh, well if you cannot find them in the forum, well here is a link http://forum.lockon.ru/showthread.php?t=24892 and well when you want to test them, you can find them on www.lockonfiles.com under the models. i hope mitch has done something to them, a skin that suits just right to the one he is building for the new a-10 from yeniceri :-) and can you explain me that sentence : the rest of the plane those tanks go to, such as maybe...perhaps...the F-111? :|

:music_whistling: i bet that glowing amraam, makes a video for all of us, maybe where all the guys who helped the project to become what it will be in the next weeks when the skinning is done. am i maybe right ? but don´t tell us, otherwise it will not be a surprise anymore so i am locking forward to see it fly in the mud :-) :pilotfly:when hogs :joystick: fly buddies :pilotfly:

well what will that be? ok it will not be included into bs, well thats a pitty. hmm, the sound effect might be right :-)

sure why not, its a very kind offer. maybe at the museum :-)
