Description [Edited] Image has just been updated to a higher quality, and a render with AA.

----

I almost feel sorry for the people +watching me, since I upload alot of stuff. Sorry guys.

I'm revisiting an old model I made, and I've added alot of detail, finished the modeling, added an interior, painted it up, etc. It's a Cobra AH-1 helicopter.

I'm not finished with this, I intend on making it fire a missle and putting alittle more effort into the render (It has no AA as you can tell).

Modeled in Cinema4D, textures created in photoshop.

Comments insults and favs welcome.

wow thats a beautiful work there, i really like the outcome of this, i know you said you were gonna edit the blades , but my suggestion would be to just make them a little darker, so you can see it a bit more clearly.

this is defiantly one of my favs of your pieces

Great Job, But No Cigar!
Since I see you are trying to base this copper on an IDF/IAF AH-1F/S Step III Cobra, there are a few missing details that come in mind (after seeing those babies for real).
1. Remove the forward numbering.
2. Remove the "AH-1" writing from the main rotor base.
3. Add an IAF Insignia un the middle of the tail boom (instead of the cross like symbol).
4. Add a red eye to the snake (which is drawn great by the way, but you might reposition it correctly).
5. Remove the inner pylon with the two missiles pod (there is no such configuration in the IAF).
6. The chopper's skids are very diffarent from the ones he has now.
7. The night vision system is diffarent then the one you placed in the nose.
8. There is an RF Comm antena bending from the middle of the canopy.
9. Add a squadron insignia to the chopper's tail.

If you would like I can send you photos of those specific AH-1's in the IAF service.
I would provide you any detail you would need about those choppers apearence.
Contact me At My E-mail on my member's card.
BTW: This art has alot of potential in it, you chose a great "Pose" for the chopper.

.::drools alot::.

hella great job!

since you encourage critique: the only thing I see is the chopper's number seems to be blocked by whatever the piece would be. is that intentual?

other than that its awsome

L-X In reply to vissroid [2006-06-18 05:13:30 +0000 UTC]

Yep, thats a small mistake on my part. I'm trying to get the blades of the chopper to look alittle more realistic at the moment so I'll fix that up too. Cheers

another good one... i did this at work in low poly... well something like this i think... is it based on a real model or identical?

L-X In reply to zoomzoom [2006-06-11 22:13:06 +0000 UTC]

Pretty close to identical, there are a few details I've left out. The paint job is isralie from what I'm told. It's a cobra AH-1.

u suck, j/k , anyway how did you make the propeller spinning like that? did you just make a gradient alpha map? because thats what I would have done.

L-X In reply to ragingpixels [2006-06-09 06:22:43 +0000 UTC]

I spent ages stuffing around with motion blur and got nothing good, so just did a huge alpha map.

It would be nice if someone was FLYING THE CHOPPER!

xD

Seriously, though, it looks bloody awesome. Nice work.

Hah! I go to all the effort of putting seats in and totally forget the pilot. Typical.

I'll fix it up when I try and add the firing missile.

Cheers mate.

Hehe I have no problem with you uploading alot of stuff its nice to see what great work you have been doing I think it looks really good except for the no AA as you said , Have fun making it shoot... that sounds kinda hard... with the smoke and all and if you render each frame with AA on... thats gonna take a while. anyway back to school work for me

L-X In reply to Snipehunter4 [2006-06-08 07:24:44 +0000 UTC]

It'll probably be a still photo of it shooting, I guess I'll use particle emiters for the smoke... I'm not sure... It'll be a challenge
