It is a quick and absolutly not precise model and there is still a lot of work to do on it...
I don't have good reference and, to be honest, I don't need to reach an high level of detail.
I would like to have a light e low poly model to produce a short movie using my Me 163 Komet (http://www.military-meshes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3945&page=4) and I nedd something to shoot at.
I'm planning to create a big formation of bombers attacked by the Komet that is closing in very fast.
Here you have a very raw idea of what I mean

Very nice start

That is looking very promising:) I always thought the B17's rudder was designed to overcompensate something or something, it is huge! :D

Hi to everybody!
Some news on my B 17.
Don't care about the wrong orientation of the propellers, it is only a matter on symmetry modifier, I will fix it at the end.
As I say in my firs post, it is far to be perfect but I suppose that it can do his job in my short movie.

Now I have to decide if I will cut the ailerons and the rudder or not...
Probably i will make that only with a bump map

The rate they'll be spinning in the movie it wont really matter anyway, unless you have one of the mirrored ones stall... :p

This is a 5 star project? What am I not seeing? It looks pretty basic and totally incomplete to me?

[bruma]

Hi Argyll!
No, this is not a 5 stars project :)
This is just a basic low poly B 17 for a movie I was preparing.
Here you can see the B 17 and the main model, a me 163 Komet, in a quite final animation test.

The B 17 appears in the final part of the video.
I hope you like it!
