Next up is a request: the Sig Morrisey Bravo

Put in a little work on this a while back.

Still in the early stages.

Proper credit:

The non reflective floor used in some of the renders are courtesy of the quality work by Abaser. Thanks Andy.
Was unknowingly missing the concrete texture all this time.

Very cool pictures. Great progress.

 

[Carkshark]

Get some pants on that bird!!!!

Looking good FE. Just an observation here, but is that shading around the wing saddle just SG related?

 

[Fly_electric]

Thanks guys.

Andy,
Probably part of the typical price from the wing saddle cutout.
Item #2,455 of things to correct.

Andy's correct observation seemed like a good time to explain what some of the issues that can cause such shading/distortions and how they can be corrected.

Auto smoothing works very well and is handy in the early stages of a build, but as Boof has correctly mentioned in his tutorial, there are rules that have to be obeyed for the best results.

There is also a comment on cleaning up the excessive verts that usually result from using the boolean cutting tool. Another handy tool, but remember "clean up" is required.

 

[Fly_electric]

A few more.

Note:
There will be a modeled prop attachment screw head in the spinner.
Auto SG'd at this stage, but when it is later placed in its own SG, the proper distinctive edge will be shown. Another example of the power of manually use of smoothing groups.

 

[Carkshark]

You explained this very well. Nice!

 

[Fly_electric]

Thanks Carkshark.

Good stuff.. keep it coming!
