ED Team NineLine Posted September 1, 2013 ED Team Share Posted September 1, 2013 Yeah good drawings with quality cross sections are hard to come by, and you could do it without, but with them is so much easier....

joey45 Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share Posted September 1, 2013 Just as much effort goes into research. Finding good drawings and editing them in photoshop Setting up said drawings in max Finding good reference photos More time you spend doing prep work the easier it is. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

RIFLE_JTAC_TRAINING Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Ok guys. Still have an issue. I have 1 great ref photo. It has top, side and front along with helpers, formers ribs whatever you want to call them. Now I grab the top, side and front and make them their own individual pics. After watching many videos the side Width is my TOPS Height. The lowest digits of width and height of the Side and Top become the Width and height for the FRONT. This works great. Now here is where I am failing. I keep my reference page that has the forms and ribs on (helpers) but I don't know at what digits I should size them regarding the TOP,SIDE and front. I hope this makes sense!

ED Team NineLine Posted September 11, 2013 ED Team Share Posted September 11, 2013 Google man google :) Just be more specific with what you are wanting to model, chances are someone else has modeled something similar and showed how they did it.

RIFLE_JTAC_TRAINING Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Im having a wicked hard time finding a 3 view of a C-130H. any ideas. When I begin to do the drawing and zoom in its just not precise looking as what else I can find out there and the C-130 in the game now is looking pretty amazing. 63 My CAS (Close air support) JTAC Channel: RIFLE - YouTube RIFLE's Discord: https://discord.gg/cmDCrr4Z2g Publications JTAC Bible (see/know chapter #5) https://fas.org/irp/doddir/dod/jp3_09_3.pdf J-FIRE pocket guide (Don't do battle without it!)

joey45 Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 The 3 view drawings are more of a guide...alone with everything else like the cross selections..

NRG-Vampire Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) Delete the Meshsmooth Modifier. go back to Editable Poly, expand, select polygon editing, highlight the entire mesh (CTRL+A) go to smoothing, click "Clear All", then Click Auto and it will smooth it out nicely. sorry but where is it ? is it the "polygon:smoothing groups" just above of "paint deformation" ? :dunno: unfortunately i cant smooth my model: i still see the polygons/quads on the exported edm model :cry: the model is smooth in 3dsmax but not in the edm modelviewer or should i use "meshsmooth" ?

Pogo. Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) Is there any guide to make a cockpit? and a template just for clicable? I don't know of any guides for making cockpits however, I can say that the following web page was extremely useful when I was making mine. http://www.xflight.de/ Click on Real\Documents to open up various cockpit plans that can be imported into your modelling\CAD program for copying. Also, many aircraft manuals contain fold-outs that show the cockpits in their various guises i.e. http://www.f15sim.com/misc.html https://publicintelligence.net/u-s-navy-f-18-natops-flight-manuals/ https://publicintelligence.net/u-s-air-force-f-16ab-flight-manual/ You might also consider the following site for info too http://galaxykits.com/instructions/ Hope that helps Edited December 18, 2014 by Pogo.

Extranajero Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Porsche 908 I made in Solidworks. I was going to build it as a one off replica with the help of a friend who could make fibreglass vehicle bodies. I reverse engineered the tubular chassis and suspension too, based on photos and some factory blueprints of the later 917 sports prototype. I was going to power it with a quad cam 4.3 litre Lexus V-8 because an original Porsche V-8 would cost several times more than my house did :D Solidworks is very difficult when it comes to modelling swooping compound curves like the Porsche body, it drove me crazy at times, but I needed something I could produce blueprints and templates from. Then the project was abandoned because we decided to leave everything behind and go and live halfway up a mountain in another country :D --------------------------------------------------------- PC specs:- Intel 386DX, 2mb memory, onboard graphics, 14" 640x480 monitor Modules owned:- Bachem Natter, Cessna 150, Project Pluto, Sopwith Snipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golani79 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Here´s some old stuff from me - the model was provided for the Breitling renderings (lighting, shading, rendering done by me). >> DCS liveries by golani79 << Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golani79 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 phu .. this was a long time ago :D Think I used a directional light for the outside lighting and area lights for the windows - reference frame was taken from the movie "Psycho".

leafer Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Keep in mind I'm completely new to lighting.
