Gliptal Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 I downloaded Blender a couple of days ago, and this afternoon and evening modeled this low-poly Tornado: the idea is to have it working in Tacview. Any feedback is appreciated! :D
Gliptal Posted September 25, 2016 Author Posted September 25, 2016 Looks like a Tornado to me! Nice work!Thanks! I made a few changes, I'm now struggling with Tacview to have it rendered properly.
Gliptal Posted September 27, 2016 Author Posted September 27, 2016 Updated the model with a few details, and also exported it correctly for Tacview. See this post: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2912106&postcount=305
Aginor Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 I _think_ I would prefer one that doesn't have the wings sweeped that far, that would make it easier to distinguish from other jets when it is displayed as a small icon. Nice work though! I tried blender a looong time ago, and this is already at the stage I maxed out concerning my blender skills. :) DCSW weapons cheat sheet speed cheat sheet

Nice work though! I tried blender a looong time ago, and this is already at the stage I maxed out concerning my blender skills. :)I though that as well, but I believe attack profiles in the Tornadoes are mostly fast enough that the wings are entirely swept back. Since in Tacview you're more prone to look at flights during engagements rather than takeoffs or landings, I opted to model it with the tighter angle.
Aginor Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 Fair enough. It's not like the Tornados would be in dogfights most of the time^^ DCSW weapons cheat sheet speed cheat sheet
Gliptal Posted September 28, 2016 Author Posted September 28, 2016 Fair enough. It's not like the Tornados would be in dogfights most of the time^^Yeah Tornadeos aren't dogfighters anyway, even the ADV variant was basically a missile platform. British crews were told to zoom away if they ever found themselves in a knife fight.
pepin1234 Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 Nice. I like it. When in release version? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Gliptal Posted September 28, 2016 Author Posted September 28, 2016 Nice. I like it. When in release version?You mean for Tacview? I don't know, it depends wether Vyrtuoz decides to add it or not in the first place. Meanwhile, you can add it in yourself: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2912106&postcount=305
Schnelli Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 The two words poly and tornado in one thread name made very excited at first. ;) But nice work anyway.
