Pazmany PL-4

While I appreciate the comments I must point out that there are a lot of folks out there doing this that are much better at the craft than I am. Guys like Piglet, Lionheart, N4gix, Gibbage, Chuck Jodry, krazycolin, and many others that have made their mark high enough to give me inspiration to keep getting better. :icon29:
 
Bucking for head swelling. While the other modelers are very good, stop being modest. I'll leave it at that ;)
 
Hopefully this pic works. I have been working on the normal maps for the fuselage. The assorted individual sheet metal skins have thickness to them and overlap as they would in real life.
 
It actually has rivets now, but they don't show up in the pic. After I work on it some more tonight I'll try and post a better one.

Actually they do Robert. If you enlarge the posted image you can see them. Granted you have to look close, but follow the seams across the top of the fuselage and down the sides and you'll see them, that's why I commented on the nice detail work. It's gonna be a beauty!
 
I'm hoping he'll let me get my hands on the flight model :) :) :) .. this would be a very fun little plane to fly and build :)

Here's a new batch of pics. The external textures are getting close now. Diffuse, Specular, and Normal maps are now present :)

Very nice!! Love the rivet's. Not too subtle?
Did I understand that Pam is doing the dynamics?
 
yup. I'm doing the dynamics :) .. It'll be a challenging plane because little planes are effected by various forces much differently than larger planes do, and I'd like to explore that and learn about them..
 
Here's the first go at a panel. The ASI and VSI will get new faces to better reflect the performance of this plane. I'm also thinking the fuel level should go under the clock, and move the tach up some. It's a pretty busy panel...part of the "what if" fun! :salute:

Hi N2056,

This looks great Btw! :-D I was wondering though if you were planning on making all the radios in 3-D? The obsessive compulsive genes inside of me want continuity.. :running: It does look good as is now, and it is nice to see an aircraft in sim, which is not well known about. Keep up the great work! :)

That stack is the default MS stuff. I used them to work on the panel layout. I've put the 3d knobs in the same as MS did in their vc setups, but ultimately I think I will end up making my own units in full 3d using these as a guide.
Thanks for the kind words! :salute:
