Van's RV-8

[uncle twist]

Jeff, if your`e referring to the grey in my pics @ the hinge lines,then, yes, this is what I had to do to the bottom of this plane, to keep the red &white from being visible on the TOP of the surfaces.
Maj...............I`m complementing both of you on a job well done,in,what I see as a complicated area of an EA for future CS`ers. Don`t make me put a sucker in my mouth, and say,'Who loves ya baby"
"CRIPES` ALL MIGHTY". Then I`d have to shave my head.

UT, you're showing your age!.

Yeah, that's all in the mapping.

 

[jeffpn]

Here's a few renders. In uploading this, I see that the forums automatically convert .png files > 500 Meg to .jpg. Interesting.

Nice renders Jeff. I like the curtain. Real nice touch.

I`ll take that as a compliment

Here's a couple more shots.

That middle rendering is amazing! Or as the kids today would say, "that's sick!"

 

[Boof69]

That middle render is awesome for sure. Although try lowering the level of reflectivity of the floor texture for a polished floor look. That is unless a perfect mirror is what you were going for. Are these renders being done in max?

 

[jeffpn]

I did the renders in Wings, and I was looking for a mirror finish. For an excellent reflection, my computer would be busy for a month.

Jeff the RV8 looks real nice (haven't downloaded it yet) One of your thumbnail pics on the upload page reminded me of one a clubmate sent me a couple weeks back from when we were flying this spring.

 

[jeffpn]

Thanks, but it's the Maj. who made it look nice. All I gave him was a lump of clay.

Don't cut out all the hard work that goes into modeling and all the setup. Every model is an accomplishment. Very nice job both of you.

That's true, it's tough to take an old paper grocery bag paint it up real nice and call it an authenic piece of American Indian pottery! Both aspects of the creation are equally important.

I've downloaded it, and have been enjoying it. Very nice job.

Put the wind around 12 mph, and the turbulence around 60% or 70% and then go wind surfing with this plane. Great fun.

Wilsonman, what did you do to fix the problem of the plane wanting to climb when in knife edge? I would like to know for future reference. Thanks.

 

[willsonman]

I changed the airfoils to reflect the overall shape of the fuselage more appropriately then adjusted the center of pressure modification to appropriately to reflect where the CoP should be. For use on CoP please review my write up. Its too lengthy to go over here.

Thanks.
