• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Need to get back into this...

Hi guys,

You all may remember me from a while back when I was working on a couple of projects You may not (and that may be a good thing... :) ). I was doing a Loving/Wayne WR-1 and had to stop for a bit and never picked it back up. Now I want to pick it back up and am a bit lost for remembering how. The problem is that in the mean time, I have been working on my modeling skills and now I have reached a point where I feel comfortable with that and to be honest, it's just not that challenging any more. I guess I get bored easily.

But now I have a back log of models at various stages, and am no sure of how to complete them. What I am looking for (begging for, actually) is someone to handhold me through the completion of one or two of these and I can finish the rest. I think I am past the point of being a rank amateur trying to start for the first time and I am reasonably intelligent, but I have gotten so much stuff I don't know where to begin anymore. If anyone sees something they would like to help with, please let me know. We can split credit for it, whatever. I just want them done and off my hard drive

Here's the low down on the projects:

1929 Travel Air mystery Ship (2 Versions)

Modeling complete except pilot
Textures complete
Panel partially complete.

Needs - Panel finished, VC, Animations

Loving Wayne WR-1 (4 versions)

Modeling complete except pilot
Texturing complete
Needs panel, vc, animations

Laird Solution

Modeling complete except pilot
Textures about half done
Needs panel, vc, animations

Buck Rogers Rocket Ship (seriously...)

Modeling complete
Textures 80% done


Other things at various stages of modeling but nowhere near complete are:

Lockheed Sirius/Altair
P-26 Peashooter
Bell X-1
Laird Super Solution
Ercoupe
2005 Mustang
F2G Super Corsair

If anything sounds interesting, please let me know...

Kevin

Wow. That is quite a bit that you are "In Progress." I am the same way. I tell myself that I won't start something until I finish- then I see a new airport.:D
 
Tell me about it...

Just so you'll know I'm not a complete hack and can really do something, here are the big 4. Bill and Felix and a few others may remember a couple of them.

I use GMAX. I have attempted modeling planes but I just can't do it. I guess I'll stick to scenery...:rolleyes:
 
Modeling is modeling. It's just a matter of smoothing... Personally, I don't get the whole scenery Gig. I've always wanted to to a scenery for Edwards back in the 40's or 50's.

There are several aftermarket renderers available for Gmax, but I've never messed with them. These are really just a matter putting a skylight in the scene and rendering it using advance lighting. A whole three or four clicks. The Solution is a little more complicated, but not much. You need Mental Ray to do it and I don't know it that's been adapted to Gmax yet...
