AH-64 Apache Helicopter
 

Hey everyone, I think it's about time I post some work, so here is the latest project I'm working on. I've been working on it for 2-3 weeks now for a few hours a day at a time, depending on how much free time I have.

I'll try and update this regularly as I go, feedback is always appreciated.

Thanks!

(Sorry if the images are too big, not sure how to scale them down here)

Looks good skippyk39, I did down load the tut didnt get to the rotor yours looks spot on.........dave

Thanks Dave!

Small update here, worked on the weapon under the Apache. Still quite a bit left to do on it.

More work done on the weapon.

Thats comming along nicely skippyk39 keep up the good work..........dave

Nice modeling and nice details man!

nice work mate.....thats coming along nicely!

cheers bullet

Thanks guys!

Another update on the weapon. I have a few minor details left to add to it, than I can move onto the next part.

suwweeeetttttttttt

Very nice, would like to see more updates

Started working on the tail rotor today. Got a few more details to put on the blades, than to add in the rest of the parts.

Got some more work done on the tail rotor. Just need to add a few cables and bolts and it'll be done.

Nice work, is the tutorial this detailed or have you added some your self,,,,,,,,,dave

I haven't purchased the tutorial so I'm not sure how in depth it goes. I just grabbed some blueprints, some reference images, and started modeling. :)

Evan better then, looking great..........dave

I don't know what you plan on doing in the final render, but I definetly hope you plan on doing a close up fly by or something cuz I'm loving all the details. Looking really great.

Thanks!

Not quite sure yet what I want to do for the final render, but I am definitely getting in close to show off all the details.

Just a small update today. Finished working on the tail rotor.

F**k me that is booger mate...really booger

Started working on the rear wheel/landing gear today. Got a good amount done on it.

You have got good speed, I think Booger means great?..........LOL.........dave

I hope that's what it means lol.

Yes it does...in Australia...booger means the best pick LOL you get the drift.

lol well thanks!

Almost done with the rear of the Apache, just need to put in a few bolts here and there.

mate that is impressive......cant wait to see this puppy with some paint!!

cheers bullet

Thanks bullet!

I'm looking forward to texturing this eventually. I'm not looking forward to UV'ing every piece though. :(

tooooooooo goooooood man!

Thanks!

Finished up the front landing gear.

Started working on the weapons attached to the wings.

Finished up the weapons.

Not much of an update, but here are a few shots of the Apache with all the pieces together.

Mate that is s**t hot and fantastic detail!!! wow you must have put some time into this puppy my friend.....well done so far!

cheers bullet

Thanks bullet!

Just a small update tonight, started blocking out the cockpit.

Think I'm going to call the cockpit finished. It is missing quite a bit of detail, but I don't really have plans to get any close up shots of it. It should be enough detail just to form the silhouette of the interior.

Now just to add a few remaining details across the Apache, and the modeling should be done.

wow nice work man, what you plan on doing with it?

I'm not really sure to be honest. Definitely going to put it in an environment, but beyond that I have no idea.

Not really an update, but I wanted to play around with some lighting in V-ray to see how it would look outside of an occlusion render. I quite like how the light wraps around the shape, though I don't think this will be my final lighting setup.

Im bbllliiiinnnndddddddddd...LOL thats def too bright mate

lol yeah the background is blown out just a little bit :P

I was looking at how the Apache sits on the ground, and I think I need to raise the tail end of mine up slightly, so it's not so tilted back the way it is now.

Thoughts?
