JAS-39 Gripen

So i had some time to start unwrapping as i have it in my mind at least to be. I started with automatic and then slowly selecting each automated piece of map i want to be in one area (upper and lower in this) and weld them together,this far is going well it will take some time but i think i will have this weekend enough to continue. I used also this letter/number test texture i found and it seems good the whole idea this far. We will see
-
Just doing some tests to see the current mapping. Nothing final….
-
…I like the “TEST”! Almost a keeper.

Just wanted to have a text so i can see how flat is the whole thing there hahahaha good one Stevie! When i will finish ill make one texture for u writing “TEST” maybe something like this:
Anyway i think im in a good way to map it… still long way to go and i have a long night in front of me
And a more “artistic” test :

https://image.ibb.co/cX3Y9w/Gripen17.jpgI see you’ve started also to draw panel lines to prove your mapping.
IMHO, Go ahead and draw more panel lines.
If you find a problematc area, correct mapping.YOU have full control of mapping AND pixels !

LSWell im not done mapping yet my friend those panel lines are there just to see the distortion if there is any and how i can fix it. I will draw panel lines of course as soon ill finish the mapping 100% theres still areas i wanna cover and Areas that must be cleaned or deleted as it seems the geometry of the model needs a lot of cleaning. I have some tools to make it happen i hope i won’t “break” anything . Also align the maps so the Texturing and “paneling” will be easier to do ofcourse

…love it!

Ok i will be back in track in the coming days. I had a very rough Christmas period in work (still is a bit too much) had also a short vacation after it and now im willing to start really working all those projects and finish them slowly. More updates soon.
PS. This covers all the models i have started porting/making or whatever -

Test shots (not textured yet) in game to see any weird tris and stuff in game… looks good this far! Some areas need to be fixed a bit and also some areas need to be “closed” as if you look from a angle behind the cockpit and inside towrds the instrument panel you can see through the nose that means either the nose section will be doublesided or i will extend the cockpit wall (much better and not expensive in tris) Currently standing at 23457 tris

Pretty! Comes into shape slowly…

Yeah… slowly… i found more issues looking closely. After the welding i found that many things has to be fixed…

Soon will be some news on this model stay tuned
-
I am waiting for. Thank to keep it alive and I hope it will be succeed. I’m working a new more detailed and accurate model now
-
seems great, I reaaly hope you will succeed

Can’t wait for a proper Gripen in BMS… (or I guess I can, or rather, I have to). What a wonderful plane.
All the best και ευχαριστουμε πολυ Μανο

True and agreed, dear Uwe… please think to this: she could be the playmate of the year! :lol:
With best regards.
