looking for a plane...
 
1 Attachment(s)
hey people. ive been doing some renders in a freeware app called terragen and i made one that looks like it needs a plane in it. but i want a cg plane not a real one for it so i was wondering if any one has a close-to photorealistic plane they could post preferably a wwII plane in mid turn or from a below view going above the camera

thanx for anything good that come if more than one person posts a pic ill do multiple composites :beer: thanx all

heres the pic...
sorry for the size but i dont want to wait 20 mins to render again...

Looks great man, make a nice wallpaper.

As for a plane, if you get 3d world they have a free memphis bell model (WW2 Bomber) Would look sweet!

thats the plan for it im also gonna put it on myspace as my background

20 mins seems a reasonable render time for that. Either the Programme's good in its rendering or youve got a fast PC!

I use terragen to it aint no free ware lol...

starjsjswars 01-02-2007 08:16 AM

01-02-2007 08:23 AM

didnt know you could export to maya...

and 20 miins is looooong for terragen

If you want it you can have it and shape it up more.

01-02-2007 08:53 AM

if you texture it ill comp it and post it up:beer: cartoon and realism can look great together:bandit:

starjsjswars 01-02-2007 08:59 AM

Lol thats the problem i suck at textureing.

01-02-2007 09:00 AM

lol well then just give it colour and windows... that could work:beer:

starjsjswars 01-02-2007 01:19 PM

and thank god its a black background any other colour screws any hope of this working

as shown

If your goingto composite it into the picture have a read up on the techniques to do it.

I.e Set the lighting in the plane's scene file to match the one form the backgroung, render in layers, use alpha channels, blurs etc etc.

Theres a fair fiew tutorials on the net if you have a look about.
