WIP Helicopter

Aye, old soviet gunship/trooptransport.

very very nice fetter!

wot is it meant to be?

har har, kewl boat m8, needs fish

Looks hot, great job

uvm looks very well done

but your smoothgroups are still ugly.

the wheels look a little funny.

The smoothinggroups dont look good and you have wasted a lot of space on that mesh. I would risk a seam left and right of the front (direct behind the cockpit) if i was you. Would give you the whole 1024 pixels for the sides. I know you are a good skinner. you can manage the seams.

With a higher pixel resolution of the sides you can also make the other stuff larger without looking weird and use a lot of the yet unused pixel of the mesh.

edit: i suggest also to make the cockpit glass on a extra texture. making a alphachannel for the whole 1024x1024 texture would be a waste of ressources imo.

FINISH THIS, i wanna see it.

looks great. just to point somthing out, you said it was landed, and usually the rotter blades bend when its landed.

Oooh lookin' good ferret! Strikes a balance between realistic and fictional in my eyes. Made me think of the new FFVII game "Dirge of Cerberus" for some reason - I think there was some helicopter screenshot I saw that had a similar design. Very professional looking anyways, good job

looking very hot fetter!

I really like it cant wait to see it finished.

yay ! it's going really cooly

Nice texture!

i agree with everyone, texturing is great!

Quote from von*ferret

this is halfway done with the texture, still working on the smoothing groups. I have to say that maya has the worst way of doing smoothing groups I have ever seen, PLEASE I want my 1-32 numbers back.

are you serious? are you sure you're doing it right? lookin good anyway.

good job little fetter~
