My original intent was to do an animation with both this model and the spitfire tutorial model...something about a futuristic airplane going back in time and shooting down the spitfire. I am just not spending enough time with maya right now, so my focus (or little focus) is to finish the Eurofighter model. Too much World of Warcraft...
Cheers!

completely agree with you, so simple to do a HDRI setup as wellOriginally posted by Minstrel
thank you for the comments Cung. You are absolutely right about the rendering. Mental Ray, and HDRI particularly, really do a good job in bringing out the best of a model. Any new Maya users should really make a point in learning the basics of it, 'cause the results are amazing.

(so long as you have the resources avaliable lol)the animation sounds good and look forward to seeing it sometime in the future :p the spitfire tutorial is good.. not had an attempt myself but managed to watch the whole thing though.
games are great distractions! i had to force myself away from world of warcraft!! stayed away for a few hours and then my house mate introduced me to Guild Wars!! arghh.
anyways great job on the model and the render.
