Boeing b-29 superfortress

[Flying_pig]

here are some pictures of the radio operators station

[LA]

I picked up a book at Barnes & Nobel, for the B-29. It was rather cheap & has many interior pics. You might want to check it out.

Ok, + of 1.100.000 polygons.

 

Not I understand why You wrote:

 

"If you look at the elevator you can see what a elevator (or an exterior part) should look like in wire frame mode, (poly wise) otherwise this does look amazing."

 

 enclosing a picture on working with polygons

 

 

on my work of MD 80.

 

The whole outer part of my model (MD 80) fuselage, wings, all surfaces of control, all windows, all doors, the stairs, all nose landing gear, all main landing gear right and left,

all antennas etc., the polygon count is approximately 450.000.

 

I will use more or less the same number for the rest (cockpit and cabin passengers).

All I was trying to say there was that you only need 64 polygons to make a smooth cylinder and it looked like you were using 128 also if you load up everything on the B-29 right now it adds up to be around 1,250,100 polygons including old un-polygon optimized areas and things i need to delete as well as the fact that some things have subdivision surfaces that are not applied yet so i can easily control that number to make it lower or higher

Also if memory serves me right It would be pretty impressive if you managed to make the entire interior of a md-80 with 450,000 poly's

I would also like to point out that there may be a typo in that post i had to assume that the "not I" was supposed to be "now I" or "I do not" as otherwise the sentence made no sense

[BWolf7]

Been a while since an update. Anything new?

[Flying_pig]

Sadly no over the past few months i have started playing world of tanks a LOT and that has taken up alot of my time however i do try to have at least one area finished by the end of each month

[Ntr09]

Lol that same game pulled me away from scenery devving... I'm NtrGX in game if ya ever want to platoon.

[BWolf7]

Wow you play that also!? I got into the world of warplanes closed beta kinda cool also.

[Ntr09]

Waaay off-topic here but, War Thunder is much better than WoWP, IMHO. WoT seems to be taking quite a hold, it's a great game.

I like to use 72 polygons (on the fokker which i worked on, i used 72, as well as on the tupolev 214) because it sets an easy number of degrees per vertex

Quick, where do you need pictures of?

I'll be touring FIFI tonight!

[ryancz]

Turns out they end cockpit tours at 6:30. I might be able to get back tomorrow or Wednesday

To bad i didn't see those posts until thursday ryan good news is right now i might have all the reference photos i need thanks to the 3D panoramas i somehow managed to miss when i looked thru the page containing them

[Flying_pig]

Did a little more work on the radio operators station today

Here's a image showing everything

and here are some close ups of whats new

 

 

[BWolf7]

Lookin good!

[BWolf7]

Is this project still being worked on?

[Flying_pig]

Yes it is still being worked on.

[Flying_pig]

Added some of the cords and vents as well as reduced the size of the engineers station and added a few more miscellaneous things

and here's a really nice looking external render i managed to get

and just for the lolz here's one of the first shots ever of the b-29 for comparison

Amazing work!

[Flying_pig]

Today I made, something, don't know what this is but it's in the real B29 so I modeled it.

[BWolf7]

Great to see that this project is moving again

[Flying_pig]

Completely remodeled the Engines today

And here's one of the entire plane with the new engines

[Nicola_M]

Holy crap. I am speechless.  The gloss on that engine!

[Flying_pig]

that's actually really easy to achieve just use a mix shader of 0.5 and have a the two BSDF's be a gloss shader with a roughness of 0.01 and a diffuse shader.

Did you make the big warehouse interior? If so do you think i should do the same for my renders?
