Rafael Fernandez Posted December 4, 2009 Report Posted December 4, 2009 Take a look. Im almost done. The wingbox is $%#ed up. Plane maker model done. Cabin almost done. Solo project.. Nuff said
Airbus Posted December 4, 2009 Report Posted December 4, 2009 Rafael to get rid of that dip in the nose you must have straight lines going from the nose cone to the windscreen frame.When I start the nose of a airliner I build the windscreen shape first, then I start meshing the nose area. The best way for you to get rid of that "dip" is to delete all of the lines that are shaped like the orange line I high lighted. If you take a look at the Starship I made the mesh simple so that I work less to get the finial result. The lines that are yellow flow straight to the window frame. Most aircraft are set up this way. There are a couple that have that odd looking dip between the nose and the window frame.If you look in these two photos you can see the line. The red line i have outline is a little exaggerated to show how the line should flow. http://www.airliners.net/photo/Emirates/Fokker-100-(F-28-0100)/1617994/L/&sid=b9d6ec96a5f4491f25acd7480ac32b57http://www.airliners.net/photo/Avianca-(SAM-Colombia)/Fokker-100-(F-28-0100)/1615866/L/&sid=b9d6ec96a5f4491f25acd7480ac32b57
Rafael Fernandez Posted December 5, 2009 Author Report Posted December 5, 2009 alright, any better. I tried to take the photos in the angle of the actual photos for you to show me any more mistakes. I also fixed the nose shape. Notice how 3/4 of it are a circle then the rest is a line. Anyways I made a cut to show you the nose a little better.
Maxime Posted December 5, 2009 Report Posted December 5, 2009 Where do you buy this plane when it is finished?Maxime
Rafael Fernandez Posted December 5, 2009 Author Report Posted December 5, 2009 This most likely will be freeware you know as a gift to the people of X-Pilot. meaning if the Embraer is top notch it will be payware. I have to make it worth it.
Rafael Fernandez Posted December 5, 2009 Author Report Posted December 5, 2009 New stuff. FMC took me about 2 hours. But I am satisfied!
Rafael Fernandez Posted December 7, 2009 Author Report Posted December 7, 2009 The entire external model will be done by mid Christmas Break. It takes me a while to do these projects because of school. I have to study and I have to do stuff around the house. But Ill put alot of time in on the weekends.
Rafael Fernandez Posted December 16, 2009 Author Report Posted December 16, 2009 First render thanks to Airbus for it!
gilbenl Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 Nice renders, but you do know the wingbox, wings, and engines are all the wrong shape, right? If you plan on making this a payware project, you're gonna have to do some major corrections. On a positive note, your modeling skills have improved considerably.
Rafael Fernandez Posted December 17, 2009 Author Report Posted December 17, 2009 It's freeware.. And thanks
MatthewS Posted December 17, 2009 Report Posted December 17, 2009 but you do know the wingboxWhat's the wingbox.... a "box" that is part of the fuselage and connects the two wings together
Airbus Posted December 17, 2009 Report Posted December 17, 2009 Details!http://www.airliners.net/photo/OceanAir/Fokker-100-(F-28-0100)/1626520/L/&sid=f8f0591d8d0f0717b2c6f04bf219cd7f
Rafael Fernandez Posted December 17, 2009 Author Report Posted December 17, 2009 Haha Jason :-X Ill probably model some of that.. Lets hope I dont get tangled in all that.
Rafael Fernandez Posted January 5, 2010 Author Report Posted January 5, 2010 Brief update not anything worth pictures. I've finished most of the modelling now I just have to texture and animate
Kesomir Posted January 5, 2010 Report Posted January 5, 2010 Raphael, I've been watching your work for a while and a lot on the last renders you posted look quite nice.However, I do think you can get too eager to 'get it done'.I hope you look both at what's right and what could be improved with this aircraft and take heed of gilbenl. There are F70/100s out there. Slow down, make the best version you can rather than rush a model out. Put out a quality model and rise above the crowd.More than anything, this is a good practice project. If a section goes wrong, remake it. This gives the same experience (even better focused) than moving on to the next aircraft and will make a better name for yourself.Just look at Goran Looking forward to this release.
Rafael Fernandez Posted January 5, 2010 Author Report Posted January 5, 2010 Trust me thats a very old shot.
inktomi Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 Oook.. that makes me think you've got new screenshots to show us =p
Kesomir Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 wingbox + engine looks a little off.Front looks good to me
Rafael Fernandez Posted January 6, 2010 Author Report Posted January 6, 2010 OH mis conseption It looks like there is a wingbox but theres actually not one. I havent built it yet.
WombatBoy Posted January 7, 2010 Report Posted January 7, 2010 I know it's been mentioned that the engines were off but I thought I'd be a bit more specific - to me it looks as though the engines don't have enough roundness on the top.
Kesomir Posted March 5, 2010 Report Posted March 5, 2010 Rafael's last post was that he was hit by the haiiti catastrophe, so afaik the project is currently dead.
