WIP: F-14 B/D

Oh damn! I love it so much!! Thanks Stingray :bowd:
-
Front office finalized pending details.
-
pit console integrated into fuselage and windshield
-
sunshade now staggered from top to bottom
-
windshield frame aligned with console and canopy frame
-
all pit surfaces connected
-
seamless transition between windshield frame, consoles, canopy frame
-
ejection seats widened
-
windshield frame extended
-
inner canopy frame aligned and material added
-
rough color selection based on RL
Canopy frames still need to be extruded and aligned:
Without canopy:
The area next to the left/right lower consoles is tricky in front and pictures aren’t too helpful so I just sorta connected everything
On to the RIO:

Time for some motivational shots, now that a pit is there some transparency in the canopy glas can’t hurt :).
Pretty cool that the camo material when set to matte actually doesn’t reflect the light in the material view. Won’t be relevant with textures but still a nice touch in these material only shots.

What a beauty
Keep up the good work, Stingray.

Gorgeous. Love it

By the way, if anyone ever has an issue with certain parts or objects of a model NOT showing up in render or material render views in Blender like here:
Select ALL, press ‘W’ and select ‘clear all restricted render’ and voila:
Had this issue for ages ever since I separated the engine pods from the main fuselage but never investigated.
Oh and the nose gear landing doors have been ‘shut’, still not 100% happy with the shape.

Looks like speed and noise……Murica!

Beautiful work man!
I’d like to make a request for your next shot. Pick any angle you dig and press 5 on the num pad, then mouse-wheel distance, to get a perspective corrected shot. That will make my graphics-tart heart skip a beat!

To give you a definitive heart attack I rendered the perspective shots :rofl:
Sorry about the quality, I had a 15% compression setting with 8bit colors but noticed it too late. Here is a full HQ shot, if still distorted it’s gotta be sth with Flickr:

this User Ortho is a very good one…
Tell him he’s the best… :rofl:

F-14 Sim would be cool!, if anyone can, BMS can.

Lots of changes (errhhh everything :)) on the RIO pit. Canopy rail vertices stayed in place, the rest is all new. Still entire pit with seats will remain around 1000 tris.
Seat, RIO eyes, panels and consoles now all in correct position. Front office will now receive the same treatment as that was a bit off as well.
In some regards it remains reverse engineering existing photos of the F-14D pit as there are major differences to A and B pits.
FYI the entire pit will be colorized according to late F-14D spec which was all black in order to avoid reflections when using NVG.

Awesome! I love it Stingray. I’m sure the polygon-pilots can’t wait to be seated in this beauty!
