Chinook
 

Thought i would post up some progress of my model. Sorry to halo for hijacking your thread.
Cheers

Have just been working on the rotors... Dont have much reference in this area so am making up a bit of it

rotors look impressive. keep it up!

very nice modeling can you post some wires?

Thanks NeoStrider!
Sure younglion, loving the cars that you have done. Any advice on modeling would be awesome.
Am just trying to keep the model real clean

Started blocking out the interior. Dont have a very fast comp so cant go model much detail :headbang:

Been awhile, have no idea what im doing with life. Feeling a bit down, so am starting up maya again while i get over it. My old model/ half finished. Starting block out inside. Dont know if i should add much more detail as i'm really just looking to get a good animation and texture from this model. Is modeling the cockpit a bit over the top?

better look at interior. Was a b#tch making the interior/ exterior fit snug. But will hopefully look good when animated

Looks great so far. Looking forward to seeing an animation :)

working on the landing gear, cockpit almost finished

Love the details. looking forward to seeing it textured. Any ideas how you will do it? do you use photoshop or zbrush?

Thanks antiant
I dont have huge knowledge in this area. I think i will just layout the map usiing maya and take it over to photoshop and add textures. Prob a easier way, so you might need to give me some pointers along the way :)
Was going to just animate a simple village scene and have the chinook fly in and hover for a few seconds. So all this detail prob wont be seen in the animation :(
Cheers man

finished the landing gear... now just the weapons and cockpit before the texturing starts :beer: I dont want anymore details or it will take too long for my 1.5ghz powerbook to render
