C-130 Project

[crashed again]

Ok, here is the plan;
I have the physical model done.
It has retracts, flaps and a working cargo door.
Blade Scraper is working the physics end as we speak(thanks)
The texture map is in the works...
may have it done by this weekend?

Lookin good! Will there be a cargo drop?

 

[crashed again]

only if someone can tell me how to make it work, i have no clue.

 

[crashed again]

Hey,send me a new EA,i'm having probs with the one i had,send me the one you have in the picture,the EA i have tips over on the ground for no reason.
I flew the edited version i did,flew great!

could be the meshes i had to put on, over limit on the poly's!
the newer version(cleaner looking, same size) seems to be able to sit level on the ground!
i will have it to you soon....

Hey... Lookin' Good.

This will give me something else to give a Coast Guard color scheme (I did the USCG paint on the Agusta for Expansion Pack 3).

Keep 'em coming...

Are you going to post here? Since that virus poo with the emails?

relax man, it will be there..
i am still working on "pretty", so soon.
i have this problem stopping me from finishing it, i call it work!
here is a "progress report" from today.
moor in the morning when i get home from work.....

Oh,i'm sorry,i thought you already had it done
Also a good thing to bring up,the main wing should be made of 2 components
When i was editing the Visual wind didn't match the physical wong,so i had to add a inner wing and then added the outer wing.
Can you also do a version with turbo prop engines? really all you need to do is add the exaust pipes to the out side.

i believe the wing was two pieces, but no way to know for sure now, the file has been oversaved many times.
the turbo should be no problem, are you asking for the "scale" exhaust stacks under the cowls?
i thought i was done to, then you see the little seams that will bug the @$&**( out of you until you fix them, and for me that usualy leads to a complete rebuild of that component.
more progress tomorrow.

ok, moor issues...
i changed the sg doors to better resemble the real thing, and now i am over limit on poly's.
the real problem i am having is understanding why 3dsmax more than doubles the poly count when it imports from wings?
anyone have any idea why, or how to fix it?
the screen dhots are of the same part, selected in both programs to show poly count.
anyone with any ideas, please!

[yodummy200]

you could send me a .3ds file and I will try to fix it. I am not promissing anything though.

 

[crashed again]

ok, i figured it out. amazing what some sleep will do for you!
when the objects are imported into max, they are turned from poly objects to mesh objects, which adds a ton of poly's to "round" objects.
if you just convert them back to editable poly objects, the total poly count goes back to normal

to the swap pages we go

well, here she is...
flaps, retracts and a "working cargo door"(works with gear).
went with the raf colours thanks to nemouk and inky00 for the help in learning retracts and PROPPER naming of things
it runs with 4x 4stroke, kinda slow and lazy, it should be!
crashed

 

[crashed again]

Great work!! Are you going to send me the EA? Or did some one else finish the physics?

the ea is on the swaps, i "finished" the physics...
could use some help i think.....
crashed

 

[crashed again]

Didnt see that lol,i can help.

COOL, THANKS MAN. I AM ALREADY "WAIST DEEP" IN THE NEXT ONE........
I TRIED THE TERBINE TYPE, JUST TOOOOOOO FAST FOR A 130??
GOOD LUCK.

Great model,thanks very much and especially the colour scheme - you are a star
Cheers

Great Model

Just one thing I think you should change, the back door should have its own servo, possibly using the top left switch.

Also can you make a colorscheme that shows the plane's outline, so I can make my own colorscheme (like a coast guard colorscheme).

Or,

i sort of planed it that way, but let it out on the swaps prior to getting that door done
i have the original uvw line map, and would be happy to send you a copy, or post it HERE
thanks for the kind words.
crashed
EDIT!!!!
the sections at the top are for: (left to right) gears/spinners(chrome), nose, light(not working correctly?), nose and windows.
this is the original map, so you should be able to do what you want.

Thanks crashed again

Can you please post the the original uvw line map?

So are you going to modify the back door?

that jpeg is the "map" the plane was colored from, i am lost as to what else you need.

So are you going to modify the back door?
not sure, i have other projects going right now, but i probably will.

Crashed,
Thanks for posting this, it makes doing schemes much easier, now i can finish the Blue_angel _c-130, I was pulling my hair out trying to find that cargo door & pods in the camo scheme Very realistic looking model in the air , nice touch with the smoke, just the right amount.



Nice job.

Progress so far --- Blue angels scheme below.
