RC-12 Huron WIP

[mseraser]

Small thing ;)

[kiwi123]

That's looking mighty nice ! Is that a beechcraft ? Don't know too much about these sort of aircraft. Nice effect on the prop as well by the way.

[kevjon]

Really impressive work. Don't know the aircraft either.

Hope your texturing skills are as good as the model...it deserves it.

[roshent]

Looking good, I once made a low poly 99, maybe should make that into a military version. I like your front gear !!

yes Kiwi that's a mil version of a Beech Kingair.

I wonder what country's use this one though ??

[Skyraider3D]

Nice, original subject! Looking great so far.

[:FI:Exec]

Looks like a derivative of a Beech King Air..

Very nice modeling btw!

[krazycolin]

good stuff... i like the gear too....

[giant551]

top stuff a really nice subject :D like it a lot ;)

[Archetype]

all id have too comment is that the edges look too sharp @ the windows

id add a chamfer there

[roshent]

No, he's kinda right about that, a Kingair has those kind of windows, he could even add a sharper edge just inside the window.

(About a cm around) And around the frontwindows he could add an alu strip that keeps the window in place with usually a LOT of rivets. Although I've noticed not every model has it, since you didn't say what model your making or what airforce it's based on so can't comment on that part.

But the interior is indeed that sharp there.

Watch it from the other side and you'll see the shape is sharp:

But it's nitpicking on a very good model. Just watching it I admire you for the fact that you got the nose shape spot on !

[roshent]

Ah, I never researched that bird under that name, but now I see :

You sure you got all aerials ?? ;-) Could be easy to forget one !

[mseraser]

Thx every one for comment :D

Info for this plane here: http://www.globalsecurity.org/intell/systems/guardrail.htm

It's very hard to find reference for this one, the only thing I've is here:
http://www.primeportal.net/hangar/bill_spidle3/rc-12p_92-13120/
Help a lot but too late, I already collapse fuselage & wing for UV mapping when I get it :cry:

And, roshent, you're right, those aerials screw me, did't get blueprint or photo form above/bottom to count them, but not a big problem right? It's very easy to add one even the whole plane is finished :lol:

[:FI:Exec]

Holy....

:eek: :eek: :eek:

[Skyraider3D]

Now it wouldn't entirely surprise me if a US military censor has had a little play with that image :)

[mseraser]

Get a very small part textured for test :p

[:FI:Exec]

Looks great! What size are your texture maps?

[flyguy72]

looking for the finished work!

[mseraser]

Stick around tail texture for long time...

:FI:Exec: texture size is 5000x5000x2.

And flyguy,it's good to see you "Bumping machine" everytime everywhere :lol:

[franken_johan]

Wohoe! Completely missed this post before!

This mighty little secret plane looks very cool. Great subject! :cool:

[kevjon]

Very nice textures and bump mapping. Its coming along really well.

[giant551]

textures looking mighty good really realistic:D good job !

[decoman]

Just want to show a linky to a manual i found:

http://www.tpub.com/content/aviationandaccessories/TM-1-1510-223-10/index.htm

A lot of text in it but has some interesting schematics.

Edit:

http://www.tpub.com/content/aviationandaccessories/TM-1-1510-218-10/

Another doc about a "regular" version of the c-12.

[mseraser]

Texture Update @ engine area.

decoman : Your link rocks! The drawing could be very helpful to make all those small probes correct. :lol:

[Lukem]

The engine texturing looks great!

[krazycolin]

very nice... though it could use just a touch of metallic feeling...

[mseraser]

Update @ nose area...texture work moving very slow.

[songbird]

I like the glass. It looks so great! The weathering works on those dark gray area are perfect too.
Some panel lines have uneven width. Is it a weathering work too?

[Skyraider3D]

Very nice work so far!
What software are you using, btw?

[mseraser]

songbird: I thought you mean the longest line under window? It's shadow cast by overlapping skin.

Skyraider3D: 3dsmax & finalrender for this one. I forget to fill my profile after the forum rebuild ;)

[rodrigomierh]

awesome work! but I agree with krazycolin about the metalic feeling
