Minor understatement...
Gonna need my sunnies, I think....lots of alphas and specs....wall to wall metal...LOL 000Rick000 strives for perfection in every way.
So much so, I am happy to announce the Rick has joined the X-3 team to take responsibility for textures.
Welcome aboard Rick, and thanks.
Seeing these pics I do believe the X-3 would wear the color red nicely! (Maybe some white accents with black trim like a Pitts but in a style to suit the shape! Perhaps the entire vertical being white with that tapering down to become a cheat line and terminating at a point at the tip of the nose and a Pitts style burst pattern on the wing.)LOL Thanks for the comments. I do find it exhilarating to fly too.
Now working on the tedious task of selecting some 5376 polys of the fuselage and engines by hand to map for texture application.
Because of the fuselage and engines being one big complex part, it makes mapping a real challenge. I am now through the bulk of the poly selections with only another 276 polys left to assign to one of the channel groups. Once that is done and verified, I can begin the mapping process selecting one channel at a time, applying the map view, generating the texture template, then applying the template texture to the mapped areas. It's all part of the fun.
