Nice photo if your skill with Maya lights and textures matches your camera work, I'll be very impressed

From a readers' Q and A column in TV GUIDE: "If we get involved in a nuclear war, would the electromagnetic pulses from exploding bombs damage my videotapes?"

not sure i get whats going on tbh... your model is different from the one thats rendered, is that right?

Bloody hell you are quick mate!!! nicely done

render and mesh of front shape (glass) on pictures are a bit different because I have problem with glass shape (it is really hard to measure the right dimensions).. but I will post repair on mesh tomorrow... .. and new renders...

Hey. .a bit of corrections..
- Camera is locked,
- materials (started with them..)
- light... have to do some corrections..
- ...... . . . .. . . . . .

this is the first project i've seen where someone has used locators

looks pretty cool man

what are those curves for in the third picture of this thread you posted?

Computer skills I should have:
Objective C, C#, Java, MEL. Python, C++, XML, JavaScript, XSLT, HTML, SQL, CSS, FXScript, Clips, SOAR, ActionScript, OpenGL, DirectX
Maya, XSI, Photoshop, AfterEffects, Motion, Illustrator, Flash, Swift3D

Looking really good Serzz.

Chirone: good question, I was wondering the same thing...is it not the handle for the bend nonlinear deformer? to curve up the tip of the landing gear there....??

Excellent work & skill, great approach, and fast! I'm jealous :-) !
Are you using a Linear Work Flow / Gamma Corrected ?
Keep kicking butt, all my best!

Good morning...

Chirone : the third picture is showing wings for the helicopter
All those locators are for measurements of the object... (usually I try to create object in scale 1:1)

ben hobden: yes... measurement tool..

joshpurple: yes, I am using linear working flow (gamma corrections, camera exposure, mental ray lights....)
and all MIA materials.. I think if you work that way you can correct all the problems with textures..


Cheers to all..

i meant to ask about your first screen shot with all those locators on the ground and the pink circle, and was asking about the blue box-like curve (sorry, dont know the names of the parts of your helicopter)
