• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

An old project brought up to date: Canso PBY-5 of SAGQ

The work on textures is not easy at all, I much prefer modeling :cool:

Under the latest advances:
- the inside of the parts receiving the rear wheels has been detailed by adding all the reinforcement ribs for these parts (for now, there is only an Ambient Occlusion to texture these places, no color base nor normal map)

- the material for the windows has been reviewed to reduce the size of scratches and fingerprints (UVScale = 30), in doing so the frost is more finely represented and if the operator does not activate the two defrost switches (prop and windshield), we will end up in an "igloo" quite quickly :p

- the comp textures were worked for two days but the result is there on the Water Bomber model, the paint is aged and the sheet metal fittings have been highlighted by playing with the different teins of the comp to make certain parts more reflective

This view (exterior part only) is taken under Blender software:

Many thanks to the paintkit of Ferondoe, which help me a lot in theses tasks.
