More work done on the U-2... mostly shader work focussed on environmental lighting and atmospheric effects... such as icing!



Hope everyone had a safe and happy Christmas!

Agreed and Thanks! More work on the plane itself and its shaders/textures and decided to put it into a different environment for now. https://imageshack.com/i/pmJTJtoUp Biggest update was to the sensor pods... added the flat face to the sensor and rigged it so that it can rotate. For the shaders, I ...

It's been a while! So a couple months back, I finished up a major project and was looking for something to do, and I decided to pull out one of my oldies... my old U-2, from back in 2014 https://imageshack.com/i/poFj5RI0j Originally built, when I was stationed at Osan Air Base, in South Korea, back ...

Latest artwork complete!

Prints should be arriving this week (24"x12") and one of them is going to be presented to the base... just in time for me to move onto my next assignment.

Should be getting what I need to finish the flight-line/takeoff image, in the next week or so...


In the meantime, whipped up this, after finishing a different project...

More work on the print that I hope to present to the base. Also rigged control surfaces and added landing gear/bays, so I could put it in landing/takeoff configuration. https://imageshack.com/i/pooJ1l0qj Will hopefully be getting permission to take photos of the actual buildings, and flightline, so ...

As I'm currently stationed at Offutt AFB, home to the RC-135 RIVET JOINT and COMBAT SENT, I figured I'd do something with it in it's native enviroment... now just have to finish the buildings and ground detail...

Glad everyone likes it!

Color/Bump maps are complete!

Did a quick enviroment/lighting test, and then decided to do some post-processing in PS... a little chromatic abberation... a little HDR... some color-toning...

Markings complete... just need to iron out some of the panel lines/bump maps... then onto weathering!

Started on the fuselage... left side color map (no markings) completed.

Most of the finicky work will be around the fairing for the wings and making sure that the side/top/bottom maps mesh correctly.
