Andy Mullen Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 (edited) With the 5 kits on my bench at the moment, I felt like doing something different to fill in the time waiting for glue/paint to dry. This on-going project started with me created a new set of textures (BMP's in this case) for an existing 3D Max Tomcat, in a "What if the Blues had chosen the Tomcat over the Hornet". Heres last years results. Edited August 7, 2008 by Andy Mullen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Mullen Posted January 15, 2006 Author Share Posted January 15, 2006 (edited) Just before Christmas I bought an add-on for the 3D Max package called Dreamscape, finally got around to playing around with a bit more. The package creates a Sky environment that you can add layers of clouds to, and the ability to add your own terrain. My first attempts at generating Terrain look more like a Desert landscape than the shots you see in the movie Top Gun Edited August 7, 2008 by Andy Mullen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Mullen Posted January 15, 2006 Author Share Posted January 15, 2006 (edited) So I skipped on my own Terrain for the moment and used one of the examples supplied with the add-on. This is supposed to be Mount Rainer in WA. Looked a bit bright so I lowered the Sun a bit (Oh the power ;) ) Next I shall be playing with the clouds to try and create an "Up in the Clouds" shot you see posted in the Real Aviation, when jets are being Tankered.

Holeshot Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Looks great...one note though--where's the GIB/RIO? I've always been under the impression that F-14s HAVE to be flown 2-up, as the GIB is responsible for some engine startup tasks, unlike the family models of F-15/16/18s...

B) Anyways Adm Butch Voris has now picked up his newest RIO from Hawaii... and a close up... :( Edited August 7, 2008 by Andy Mullen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grant Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I like your style, Andy. So how many servants do you have running around doing all the mundane day-to day tasks of life? cheers Grant Quote Link to post Share on other sites
