Announcing Tu-22M3 Troika by Black Cat Simulations


Recommended Posts

Besides you can always reduce the amount later. Better to do an accurate model first, and reduce the fidelity if need be at a later stage.

 

That`s exactly the case here.

Building highpoly model and later on reducing it to lower polycount suitable for game and baking highpoly mesh into lowpoly mesh to keep all smoothness and detail that`s just not gonna make it to lowpoly mesh.

It`s like building a real plane, measuring each part multiple times then modeling it after that starting with a new one, then finding out that measurement is not completely correct due to lack of some images from dark hidden area or blueprints of the previous part, after that you starting tweaking or even start over until everything fits in a proper way and makes sense...

Thanks for feedback guys!

 

Fantastic work.... are you going to continue to show this type of progress every step of the way? If you are I will be glued to this thread mainly because of the quality thus far!!!

 

I`ll try to do it as much as I can!

As I said earlier you have mad skills. CG movies don't have that much detailed work. Your modeling is more real than the real world.

My construction starts tomorrow. I really wait for this module. I watch all the threads and to have such module in DCS is something extraordinary and the people in BlackCat Sim need all the support they need. Great pictures and Great Work.

I have a four month window to do nothing but work on this simulation, so progress on the programming side will speed up. After nearly 9 years in intense jobs, I have burned out badly, severe depression, exhaustion, etc. I'm going to spend time re-establishing my relationship with my family and God, get my weight down, and my spirits renewed. The Bomber project makes me happy.

 

What do people think of starting another thread so this one isn't so long?

Hope things turn out well for you.

 

It might be a good idea to post news in one thread (without discussion) so people can find published info easier, and keep this one as a discussion thread for the module. How about that?

I support the idea of a read only Update/News thread, so we can follow the development more easily.

 

This thread can stay for chat and small talk.

 

May be another separate thread for "ideas/feedback/suggestions/wishlist for this module" from the community?

 

On the burn-out note, always(!) make private live, your loved ones and especially health a priority! If you need time for a break, take it.

 

If "work" on this module is relaxing and helps you focus, alright. If it stresses you and feels like "just another job" step away for a while... :thumbup:

Or do what I did in the A-4 thread, and just link from the first post to each of the significant content updates as they get published.

Yeah most definitely. Rather than posting progress on an announcement page.

Know and use all the capabilities in your airplane. If you don't, sooner or later, some guy who does use them all will kick your ass.

So, I don`t know how far this project will go, but me and Oleg (3D modeler) were busy making Tu-134A for a movie. I repainted (old USSR livery) it so it will not kill us with NDA rules and now we can show you a WIP renders (4K, zoom tight!)

He is continuing working on Tu-22M3 model and I will start to texture model when he will have a little bit more stuff ready.
