I love seaplanes... ....do you?

SHEPEIRO · May 2006

heres some work im doing on a project at the mo,

it about 900 tris ( cant remember tri count, but deff 620 vertexs) with a 512* map.

at the point of getting the underlying material right befor i do some paint jobs for them.

C&C please,

Joao Sapiro · May 2006

so far so good, the metal could use better work, mainly on lightning and dirt/scratches and more colour variation;)

SHEPEIRO · May 2006

do you think sharper highlights? + maybe more contrast?

trying to keep it from looking too leady, more alluminium,

come on johny your a texture pro , give us a few more words

Zwebbie · May 2006

Some markings wouldn't hurt. I don't know the purpose of this plane, but giant logos on the wings might add some contrast, and some minor detailing, like, for example, the pilot's name near the cockpit, are needed as well.

SHEPEIRO · May 2006

yep thats coming, im just getting the underlying skin right, cos the painting will be pretty scratched.

Scott Ruggels · May 2006

If that's the plane I think itis, the control surfaces are canvas with dope and aluminum paint. I'd almost say they are too dirty tobe race planes.

And for the propellor, just draw or paint the prop as it was still and static, then use Photoshop's radial Motion blur tomake it look like it's turning.

polybrained · May 2006

maybe some barnacles or something on the buoys(i think thats what the bottom part is called) just to show a time spent in docks and what not. and as an answer to the topic... no i don't just the one from tale spin that Baloo flew

hawken · May 2006

neat work buddy, especially the polycount

does the UV map support numbers and shit or would they get mirrored? a nice big number 5 would go well on the wing.

SHEPEIRO · May 2006

Scott Ruggels - props temp.

hawken- yeah with four wings quite a bit of mirroring occurs so no no#s just symbols, ive been playin wid a few

Sage · May 2006

I don't know if I love sea planes but I sure love this one.

Looking good.

egoncalo · May 2006

Looks great man... I had to do a plane awhile back for my class in gmax. Here's mine, granted since GMax can't render or handle textures well it doesn't do it justice.

flaagan · Jun 2006

SHEPEIRO · Jun 2006

theyre freelance work for an indie game, allowed to post but cant tell more :-Z, eventually when its in a published form (or demo) then ill post a link

yeah deffinatly gonna have fun with this scheme

yeluis · Jun 2006

sir that is awsome, very cool thread. Id love to see a little more spec worked into the texture but this stuff is sweet

Steakhouse · Jun 2006

Oh that rocks man. I was drawing a plane like that a while back, all stubby and excited looking. I cant wait for you to finish it!

SHEPEIRO · Jun 2006

cheers dudettes

I'm envious.. wouldn't mind doin some vehicles for something like that.

Need to get all my vehicles together and up on my site so I can dig around for some work makin more!

SHEPEIRO · Jun 2006

flaagan - you like my fire drill ? i only take about 20 minutes to vacate the building...

flaagan · Jun 2006

Is this 20 minutes after you've made multiple trips carryng your entire computer and software collection outside?

SHEPEIRO · Jun 2006

yes and dont forget putting my DS and carts (cant loose my advance wars progress) in my bag.

SHEPEIRO · Jun 2006

nearly done first paintjob!

this ones now called the Flying Goldfish

flaagan · Jun 2006

I think "Bad-Fish the Second" would work better as a plane name.

I think the under-wing logos would look better on the outer wingtips... and maybe combine the fish and the II so the II is larger and behind the fish.

SHEPEIRO · Jun 2006

i like the current setup on the body but i think you may be right about the underwing ones

CrazyButcher · Jun 2006

now where is captain baloo

nice work

SHEPEIRO · Jun 2006

eatin bannanas

cheybea · Jun 2006

I want one!!

Texturing looks great.
Nice job.

noritsune · Jun 2006

agreed, texturing looks great, but I think the logos/designs sit too heavily on the rest of the texture. decrease their opacity and/or mask out some scratches and patches and/or decrease the size.

SHEPEIRO · Jun 2006

noritsune- yeah know what you mean

new colour scheme, ignore the dots just testing new colour scheme for heros, gonna call this the king fisher

the fleet so far

Ozymandias · Jun 2006

Shepeiro, these are awesome, great style. also, the weathering you've got going on the flying goldfish is looking really nice, keep up the good work.

Joao Sapiro · Jun 2006

appart from beeing too clean i really dig them shep

SHEPEIRO · Jun 2006

ok grubb layer coming up

rooster · Jun 2006

keep some of the shiny though its nice

SHEPEIRO · Jun 2006

the "hero" planes will be clean, but you wont see those lazy pirate dudes soaping down their planes on a sunday afternoon, too busy teaching their daughters to pickpocket

snemmy · Jun 2006

ooooh! i wanna fly them

the look fun!

btw.. what happened to the prop? o.O

SHEPEIRO · Jun 2006

props are already produced by another artist, so i dont have to worry about them, just pretend

SHEPEIRO · Jul 2006

ok scout done,

this is the "Kingfisher"

and this is the "Poisness Goldfish"

ckaos · Jul 2006

inspirational work as always, Shepeiro!
I simply love the vibrancy you have in your colors.
just a few really minor nitpicks: some of the whitish highlights on the Kingfisher seem just a tad too strong , and the "posness golfish" could use a tad more color variation in the orange areas (this could all be just a matter of taste though)

rooster · Jul 2006

sweet stuff! do you mean poisonous though?

SHEPEIRO · Jul 2006

Rooster, yeah you'd be correct there, but pirate cant spell

SHEPEIRO · Jul 2006

right thought id post some of the weapons ive been working on

SHEPEIRO · Jul 2006

well heres the finished pistoly

hawken · Jul 2006
