Japo32 Posted May 26, 2009 Report Posted May 26, 2009 Hi!!! Because now I am stopped with the creation of the CRJ, because is on the queue for programming, I decided to start a little project, that I think it will be ready before the CRJ. That type of planes I like them most!! and a few months ago I decided that I would like to make a seaplane. Looking over internet I found this little beauty and wrote the developer of the real plane. He was very kind and answered me sending info that is making me possible to build it.Now the flight model is working and building the obj fuselage.I can show you this renders.. to start with my 4th baby!

Cameron Posted May 27, 2009 Report Posted May 27, 2009 Looks fantastic, Javier! Looking forward to seeing what you do with the texture work on this one. Quote
Japo32 Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Posted May 27, 2009 hehe... not so many dirty because there is water around!!! Quote
JBalsa Posted May 27, 2009 Report Posted May 27, 2009 Hehehe! This looks very interesting! Will you release this as pay-ware? Quote
Japo32 Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Posted May 27, 2009 Hehehe! This looks very interesting! Will you release this as pay-ware? Yes , but really cheap. As the Javelin or lower price. Quote
Japo32 Posted May 28, 2009 Author Report Posted May 28, 2009 The external model is finished (still texture to apply, but this time I am going to build all the geometry first. The 3D cockpit next week) Quote
JBalsa Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 Simply outstanding! I've said it twice, and I'l say it again for this plane; you have my sale guaranteed! On your second shot, I see there is a float on the back, I haven't seen this in any real seamax pics, is this a variant you are implementing? Quote

Japo32 Posted May 29, 2009 Author Report Posted May 29, 2009 Yes.. that is only a perspective view trick. Quote
Rafael Fernandez Posted May 30, 2009 Report Posted May 30, 2009 Javier, I hate you I hate you I hate you hahaha Just kidding. Im so jealous. Blah good work keep it up Quote
hobofat Posted June 7, 2009 Report Posted June 7, 2009 Wow, I'm really excited that are you doing this plane. My biggest complaint with FSX (I use all flight simulators) is that it does not have a SeaMax...but now XP9 will have an awesome one ;D I will look forward to purchasing this plane when it is complete!-Jonathan Quote
JBalsa Posted June 7, 2009 Report Posted June 7, 2009 Just a question: I'm not sure if this is so with the SeaMax, but will you make it so that if you have the landing gear open while in water malfunctions may happen, or the plane will sink? Just a thought though.Thanks Quote
Japo32 Posted June 7, 2009 Author Report Posted June 7, 2009 Just a question: I'm not sure if this is so with the SeaMax, but will you make it so that if you have the landing gear open while in water malfunctions may happen, or the plane will sink? Just a thought though.ThanksThat won't happen, because if you see the youtube video, then you can see the landing gear is lowered on watter.. No problem with that. Other thing is if it is waterlanding with it lowered.. I don't know if it could handdle the pressure over the landing gears... Quote
Leen de Jager Posted June 10, 2009 Report Posted June 10, 2009 Just a question about the textures. ( the model shows excellent )Do you use cropped fuselage and wing textures ?As a repainter I am always hoping we will get uncropped textures wich can be painted in high quality , wich cannot be achieved on cropped ones.In other words , can I paint a circle on the fuse-texture without getting a wide unsharp oval on the model in sim?Best regardsLeen de Jager Quote
Japo32 Posted June 10, 2009 Author Report Posted June 10, 2009 The way I use to unwrap textures is always the same.. I cut them, and relax them. When I relax them I look very close to the pixel aspect ratio so a circle on the texture will be a circle on the model. BUT.. sometimes this is imposible to have, because I have to compress al the model on a square very compressed. Don't misunderstand my "compress" I never break the pixel ratio so never scale non proportional a model on the texture unwrapping, but when applying a relax there is always a low number of polygons that will stress the pixel because I preffer now to make a "cut" with bigger pieces to make easier to the painters to paint them.anyway... for future painters.. If you have photoshop CS4 or Bodypaint 3D, you can paint in 3D without any problem. I usually paint the stripes on those programs.. and then make normal colour on standard photoshop, gimp.. or whatever. Quote
Japo32 Posted June 10, 2009 Author Report Posted June 10, 2009 Now the model is finished.. Now time to make that texture I talked before... Quote
dan Posted June 11, 2009 Report Posted June 11, 2009 Gorgeous model as always ;DLooks like the perfect airplane to do some sightseeing in, and being able to land on water and land makes it really useful too in remote regions... Quote
Japo32 Posted June 11, 2009 Author Report Posted June 11, 2009 Yes... I really wanted to make an airplane to make bush flying and move over Canada and Alaska, to discover those lands!!! Quote
JBalsa Posted June 11, 2009 Report Posted June 11, 2009 That is some immense detail! Especially on the seats! I can't wait to land at a few of the seaports in Vancouver! Quote
