B-29

[Nils]

EDITED............ New version below

First attempts for rendering the B-29 in a scene

[Nils]

I didn't like the first image, as I found it rather dull and grey. this is an update, now also with all parts animated..
I think this one is better..

[denders]

It's looking pretty nice, Nils!

The aluminum finish looks too glossy but it's nice render and good angle on the B29.

Definitely like the second image better as it looks like it is up there on a bright sunny day above the clouds.

Thanks, I can try reduce the gloss a click or two, but all in all I’m pretty happy with the alu finish. I know a few fixes here and there on the rear fuselage that needs a little attention.
The rear tends to be overlooked somehow. Probably because most aircraft looks best from the front or side and most images reflects that wiev too..

[Nils]

Update on the alu skin, slightly less glossy

[cobra6]

The last two are certainly much better and lively, well done

I'd say the oil streaks from the engines onto the wings look odd and "scribbled", I'd change those to more elongated lines (since the air pressure when flying will push them back straight, rather then curvy).

It has been reworked.
On the under surfaces,oilstripes tend to wander a bit here and there and gather on the lowest point, when the plane is parked. Especially for taildraggers ( because of the backward angle they rest) But in flight I agree, the speed and propwash will push any oil leaks straight backwards.

Looking good, nice reflections!

Thanks all. Here the final aluskin for the B29, have been doing some adjustments and straightened the oil streaks on it's upper sufraces and reduced on the under sides. Here goes
