UPDATE! Yo guys :) Here is an update. Past days I`ve been in a battle with a tail, to get it matched with all the reference material. Anyway, I`m still tweaking and getting closer & closer towards the cannon... Here are results: Cya, Oleg

Я сам русский и люблю свою родину и культуру. Но у меня создаётся впечатление что отдельным личностям, а то и большинству восточно-европейского блока (особенно из русско-говорящего сообшества) необходимо научиться манерам общения, особенно в 3Д форумах, поскольку данной группе никогда не угодить, всегда найдут что-то к чему можно придраться и где гразью подсластить. Нет чтобы четко сформулированный отзыв оставить (тут, так, там, сям, сусям), дак нет... обазательно грязь и унижение. А временные рамки и бюджет проекта (у русско-говорящего сообщества) как обычно, в счет не идут. Это по поводу Ту-134. Меня сюда вообще случайно занесло, по-началу я сидел и просто ржал над комментариями, а потом подумал и решил отпечатать то что я обо всём этом думаю и чувствую. Что касаыется Ту-22М3: 1- Делается всё за свой счёт и время 2- Мы работаем тогда, когда можем 3- Мы не перед кем ничем не обязаны 4- У нас есть цель и мы к ней идём. Те кто хотят помочь и прислать нормално сформулированный отзыв, пожалуйста, присылайте, будем очень благодарны! А на все остальные отзывы с преимущественно необоснованной критикой, мне лично, после данного сообщения, честно, по барабану. Adios Oleg

Nope, just touching and measuring them, then compare them to blueprints and photographs and model. But the sense of touch is really important to me, especially when you can rotate small part look at it from all directions.

Yo Guys :) I`m back. I`ve been away to Russia, to visit my old grandparents. Here are some updates: Few days ago I`ve got my hands on this awesome kit (unfortunately I won`t be able to assemble it in a way it should be) :) Here is some progress on 3D model: Greetings, Oleg

Great news! After 2 months of struggle my PC is finally alive and working. So I`m back on track!

Quick update: My PC is still dead atm. Seems like I`m cured atm. I had a gigabyte motherboard that just worked for a few days after going to bootloop. Today I`ve finally recieved brand new Evga X99 FTW K and I`m still experiencing bootloops. Swapped cpu/mem/psu with a friend, same shit. So I`m kinda frustrated now. Been sitting without machine for 2 months, with constant waiting and not having luck at anything. I`m starting another RMA atm. So you know.

Thank you! :)

Update from notebook. My PC is dead atm, for about a month ago my SR-2 mobo has burned, when I`ve been helping out a friend with his 3d project. I`m still waiting for replacement from EVGA in a form of graphics card 1070 FTW Hydro, because they had no SR-2 in stock. I had to sell all my parts and spend some money on top of it to build brand new system. It has been alot of headache, but I`ve got it running with a help of a friend. It`s now ready, the only thing missing, is a graphics card. Apology for not keeping you updated.

Thanks for feedback guys! I`ll try to do it as much as I can!

It`s like building a real plane, measuring each part multiple times then modeling it after that starting with a new one, then finding out that measurement is not completely correct due to lack of some images from dark hidden area or blueprints of the previous part, after that you starting tweaking or even start over until everything fits in a proper way and makes sense...

That`s exactly the case here. Building highpoly model and later on reducing it to lower polycount suitable for game and baking highpoly mesh into lowpoly mesh to keep all smoothness and detail that`s just not gonna make it to lowpoly mesh.

Back to work :) Here is some minor update:

Thanks!

Modeling is done. Dmitry is finishing texturing, which I find insanely good! One of the best texture artists I`ve met in my life!

Nope, Tu-134 that I`ve done with Dimitry has been made for russian cinema. Trailer is just another side of my work together with amazing crew!

YAY finally a trailer where I play main character is released/online!!! :)

Something like that in the end :)

TU-22M3 Start of the EPICNESS! Alright guys :) You`ve seen the Tu-134 renders which we have made together with Dmitry :) Now it`s a time to show off some Tu-22M3, it`s not much, but to get things rolling I`ve decided to start with a wheel :) Enjoy!

Hey guys it`s been a while that you`ve heard from me (for the last month) :) That`s because me and Dmitry has been working on Tu-134 for a Russian movie, Dmitry is currently texturing the model and I have to say that model looks insane with his textures! He`ll show some screens when he`s done :) Currently I`m done with modeling and moving on modeling TU-22M3 starting with Langing gear, so await screens soon :) P.S. Here you can see WIP of the Tu-134 that I`ve modeled based on the reference model and huge amount of ref photo`s (plz remember it`s a movie model and not the game one): http://imgur.com/a/e8YDi

We`ve been abit on hold, due to the scan data process, Brian had to order extra ram to process scans, I`ve prepaired file, but my machine with 48GB of ram couldn`t handle the fushion process. Aside of that I had a shoot for a short movie. There has been some holdups, but now worries you`ll get to see more soon :)

Preview of a scan alignment (Rear cockpit). It`s just like a puzzle, lots of pieces, just have to find the right one...

Yes the missile rack was a succes from the front to center, after that scanner got to hot due to tempratures :) Rear Landing gear was really nice, rear cockpit has been nice aswell. PM sent

First things first and then we`ll see :)

Gonna be easy, we will just remodeling it :) BTW.... :) My bomber have finally got airborn in RHS mod for Arma 3 :)

Cleanup? Only if you consider throwing away blured,overexposed pictures and masking out Brian :) Rear Landing Gear :)
