Hueyman Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Really impressed too .. such fast progress with a such beautiful model ... Speechless.Just to be " annoying ", again about the prop. I like you " corrected " the white stripes.But I have the impression the pitch angle is really flat. I know on that prop there aren't as pitch as a BF 109 but it's almost flat isn't it ?Except those " nothing details " I don"t see any bad point, will definitely be a masterpiece ! And the fact that I've saw the " Jim the pilot " videos make me even more excited about ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete_SMS Posted December 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 (edited) I am glad you all like it! After looking at hundreds of pictures on airlinersnet, I decided for this livery, because I like earth like colors. The other versions will feature their own liveries, but this one was one of my favorites.With respect to the prop twist, I will have another look. However,the 3d model is not really flat . If somebody has some info about prop twist for a HC-B3 Hartzell prop, I am happy to use it.Texturing is done in photoshop. The key is having a good and efficient uv unwrap of the 3d mesh. If you are interested in it, here is a good starting point to understand the basics and more advanced things.http://cgcookie.com/...ntro_uvmapping/ http://www.military-...thread.php?t=61Progress is nice so far, but like I said before, there will be times when there is not much progress to show. I will report about it, but showing will not be easy. Unless you would be interested in software design pictures and screenshots of my source code editor Nice picture of the Beaver near Richardson Bay! Colors look very intense.Thought that you might like to see another angle... Edited December 10, 2011 by Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I win a Beaver free copy ... http://youtu.be/DsPQ7ZQzfiMNope, that's not a Beaver, but as far as I can tell it is also not a real plane... If anything it looks more like a Max Holste Broussard, but even that is not right because of the singe vertical stabilizer.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Holste_Broussard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete_SMS Posted December 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Hey guys,Thanks for the livery request. However, even they look nice and I had a look at them myself before, I want to keep the livery authentic. That means, I will use real world liveries which fit to my aircraft setup of the modernized Beaver. Beavers with a three blade prop, same spinner type and two passenger windows behind the passenger door will fit and I more or less made my selection already.However, you are getting a neutral color paint kit for the SoulMade Simulations Beaver and you can create any livery you like for yourself and others.Adventures of Tintin, a Beaver at 0:16 ???? I win a Beaver free copy ... Like eaglewing said, this is not really a Beaver. I looks pretty much different in the details. However, I could imagine that they were inspired by the Beaver shape and created a cartoon model for it.So you have to try a little harder to win that free Beaver copy. Watch out when the Beaver is close to release, though. There WILL be the chance to win 5 free Beaver copies. How? That is something I will talk about when the time has come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete_SMS Posted December 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 I want to give you a sneak peek of the interior today, before the leather seats move in.About 8 weeks ago I started this thread and it already has around 9,400 views. Wow, I was never expecting such an interest in the Beaver. Well, for me it is an awesome and gorgeous aircraft, but I would have never thought that so many of you seem to like it as well.That is really motivating and I would like to thank you for your interest so far!Hope you enjoy the interior shots.
