tankball Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 r u planing to some how port then to a flight sim when your done? if so FSX please? X Plane sucks (atleast for me) srry if u already answerd this ? already. also looks gr8t u have skills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eosmusashi Posted September 6, 2016 Author Share Posted September 6, 2016 r u planing to some how port then to a flight sim when your done? if so FSX please? X Plane sucks (atleast for me) srry if u already answerd this ? already. also looks gr8t u have skills I'm a super big fan of FSX I haven't played x-Plane, I'd looove to see this plane in FSX with some sort of glass view from the cockpit, maybe someday I can convert this model into a simpler lower poly archive that can be loaded... but it's not my goal right now. The goal is to make a shortfilm with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eosmusashi Posted September 18, 2016 Author Share Posted September 18, 2016 (edited) Updates, I've been learning how to make a heat effect for the thrusters (and for the turntable animation I'm planning): First I learned how to make particles in Blender, then I started learning how to make them behave like a fast moving smoke that would follow the turbines. Then after I got the particles working correctly, I used a composite mode in Blender with different render layers to get the smoke as a separate entity, then a distort filter on the finished render with the plane and the background, and the smoke's alpha as the parameter. The effect looks pretty cool and weird from certain angles: The smoke was not following the engine close enough so the heat effect looks delayed. I did some fixes to the particle speed and also added the smoke as an entity so it receives light and can be perceived as a hot system. The final render got some issues with camera clipping and the fact that I wasn't baking the particles so they began producing the smoke every time I restarted the render (this animation took almost a week of leaving the computer rendering at night) So that choppy feel of the engine going on and off is because I didn't bake it Looks pretty cool tho!! Here's a wallpaper for you guys, with what I've learned so far: Edited September 18, 2016 by eosmusashi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickyg Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Outstanding! Love all the effort you're putting into this. Thanks for the updates! You must be learning so much with this project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eosmusashi Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 Heeey it's been ages! But I'm still working on this, it's just that my laptop sucks a little bit at rendering.... I've been working out the compositing in Blender to build up a turntable animation. Just finished it so here are some gifs: here's how it works: I render the camera point of view from the lower cockpit screens (Virtual Environment Cockpit or VEC for shorts) Then I render the rear view mirror camera... And then the cockpit from the pilot's point of view, so it's 3 different renders to get the thing completed. I then add the HUD information. Did the same thing again but with landing and navigation lights, compositing on an HDRI background so I had to extract the shadows information, and I re-composited the HUD so it looked better: Previous test. I changed my approach after finding it impossible to match the texture HUD with the over-the-comp HUD: So once again: VEC... Rear view mirror: Background from the pilot's perspective (so I can edit and comp the cockpit better: Ta-da! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pengbuzz Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Incredible work! I'm really impressed by the level of detail you got in this! Â BTW: I tried doing the YF-19 in Blender:let's just say... it... didn't go very well.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eosmusashi Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 Not the best choice of words for a title hahaha, still regretting it because even I picture a YF-19 inside a blender, every single time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
