it is based on the Quick Pro 30 rc helicopter i own. but it has some very slight modifications.

[RodrigoRosa]

hmmm...
That big white plastic shell is covering up a lot of the good stuff
how about a version with a transparent body?

it could happen;)

[MattyG]

Lol amazing model I agree why model so much then just cover it up unless ur making an animation and it falls apart or suttin lol.

[joshone]

yes... that is a big white shell... they are made of fiberglass (not typically transparent :))... but a transparent version would be cool... i shall test the theory!

thanks for the input - keep it coming.

[joshone]

slowly banging out an engine.... more detail to come.

[SilentPartner]

where's my manners :). thanks for the comps.

of course if you see something that needs work, or just have suggestions, that's cool - it's why i post here :)

[SilentPartner]

the engine has been installed... all that work, just so i can cover it all up :(. the only things missing on it are the glowplug, and the throttle linkage (vital, i know).

The modeling looks great.
But the blue renders kind of bug me.
Yeah, i know it's kind of pointless to crit the presentation of a WIP.
But still ...

Some of those images have nice compositional stuff going on.
All they need is some textures and they would be very nice.
WIP or no.

The textures (and all other things that ail you :)) should be dealt with starting tonight- THANKS!

[SilentPartner]

texture tests (the operative word here is "tests"). i am working on textures, and lights. go on, make a suggestion :). i do know that the chassis xy textures are not right - will fix tonight.

(question: should i be posting urls?)

[JHarford]

looking graet man , nice project,
i asuume you have the heli you are making?

[SilentPartner]

i used to own it. i crashed my kit irrepairably 3 times and at $550 a pop, i decided that was enough for me!... but doing this project has made me want to get one this year, so i just may.... (dont tell the wife!!!!)

[Silver Bullet]

just :eek:

[SilentPartner]

tail is done.
the battery still needs some modelling and texturing.
and the wirework needs to modelled and textured.

i am starting to work on lights. not easy! its an fg scene with one infinite light for speculars. i am really in need of suggestions in the lighting department. first it's too light, then too dark, then shadows are bad, then shadows are gone, etc, etc. thanks for any suggestions

[SilentPartner]

Great stuff, keep it up.

[keescopyright]

your modelling is ****in great! thought the last picture looks wrong, because of the lensen used in the pic and the one in max being of a diffrent value... but the modell and the texture is awesome...

[mmiller]

yeah
You seem to go back and forth between too dark and too light.
I'm afraid I can't be of much help there.
But, should look pretty great with the right light ;)

I agree keescopyright
the distortion is too extreme on that last image.
also seems a little skewed.
Mark

[SilentPartner]

i will fix it :) thanks for the input. keep it coming.

[kribz]

cool!!!!..i have to asume you own a real one...if not were did u get the reference pics?..

[SilentPartner]

i used images from quickheli.com and the internet, and my memory.

i am deep deep deep into the texturing and lighting... very tricky, extremely time consuming on my dual p3 833mhz!

[ignanacho]

Looks fantastic!!. great detail. It's good to see something posted that is not a car.

[SilentPartner]

---CUT/PASTE---

still plugging along. i know, i know - canopies are not really clear, but i figured, no sense in covering up all that modeling.... of course now the ray depth is not right.. back to the drawing board.
