Nemeth AS350; H-HFBI, WIP

Thanks guys. Think of me as the turtle racing the hare. I may be slow, but I get to the finish eventually. :icon_lol:
 
I just finished up doing the 3D enhancements to the peeled paint. When I loaded the helicopter up in FSX, I was :icon_eek: :jawdrop: :applause:. I was amazed by the visual depth difference.

Last things on the list are;

Alpha layers
Spec Layers
Striped rotor blurs ( I'm still stumped on how to go about making these)
And some new duds for the pilot
 
The repaint is done. I still want to add the striped main, and tail rotor blurs before I release it. Does anyone have the AS350 that's done repaints for it, who has also added in stripes to the blur?

In other words, I'm stumped! Help!! :icon_lol:
 
Disregard. I figured it out. :wiggle:

Absolutely stunning work. I really don't want this helo, but I want this paint......fantastic work. Sorry, slobbering I know. I am very envious of you and the other painters to produce such fantastic skins. Kudos to you and all painters for enhancing FSX for all.

Repaint closes sale. :icon_lol:

Thanks guys.

I've like some feedback on this. I added the soot covered tailboom effect. Question is, use it, or lose it?

Ummm, only seeing olive drab birds all of my life, I feel only semi qualified to say, it looks a bit much, though a great idea.

I love the irony of asking if a "used" look is appropriate with this particular paint scheme.

I like it both ways but perhaps a version with a little more weathering? :wiggle:

It looks FANTASTIC.
 
Weathering, dirt, grime, etc, can't be seen in pictures so much. It's there. In the alphas also.

The pilot now has the attire of a French pilot. Not a stereo-typical sports-aholic.

Subject; Glass issues

If anyone experiences anomalies with the glass being black or discolored (or just wants a better glass appearance) there is a fix (I hope)

There is a member (Wiege) at hovercontrol.com that has done a nice little tweak for the AS350. More info here. http://www.hovercontrol.com/cgi-bin/ib3/ikonboard.cgi?;act=ST;f=1;t=20962

Wiege has done an update since. Although this is the version I used while painting. http://www.hovercontrol.com/cgi-bin...olor_and_mapping_changes_V101.zip&img=&tt=zip

Whoa! I didn't realize they got that dirty, in that case good sir, your rendition was spot on. Personally, I like it cleaner looking, but seeing the actual bird now shows your great attention to detail and bringing your bird to as real as it gets. Great job.

Matt

PS, noted your released version is cleaned up. Are you going to offer both? After seeing this pic, I think they're both fantastic.
 
No Sir. That's it. The templates are in the archives for that particular paint.

Now my wife will hit me with the honey-do list :icon_lol:
