F-4 Phantom

IMHO panel lines are too too string while the other parts of the plane is literally polished clean.
These are just opposite status for a plane. You can’t have dirty panel lines while rest of the plane is clear.This plane is very, very dirty while it has much less strong panel lines.

I really would like to see much less clean plane in general because that is how RL planes looks.
There are new models on the way with way better skins and and UV flattening and also lighter in triangles (that means more headroom for details)… In time Molni… I have a lot of stuff going on IRL lately plus more models plus campaigns plus music band… thats why all my projects are on a stalemate… Also need to find a job cause money are getting extremely low and life starts to get difficult and now with the whole Covid thing if it was difficult to find one here in Greece now its even more…
I wanna make a statement to all the ppl here that are waiting my models to be ready:
**Patience is virtue guys. Sorry for all the delays and not being fast as my dear friend Radium is but i have things IRL that are more urgent and also things that keeps my mood for 3d down. Sorry if i did let your expectations down (for now) but as you all know RL is a b!tch. I hope i will overcome everything and my mood will be back and i promise i won’t let you down, as u all know we are humans above all and not 3d printers and there things IRL that press us down.
Cheers!**

Thats good enought. But try my sugestion as you can come with a good result.
Add a color of you preference in the main .dds that you are using.
Duplicate the already existing material for the PType25 in the material editor.
Isolate that part of the canopy and set the opacity to a slightly high value (35%, 40%)
UVW that part of the canopy to assign texture in the dds.
Bake and testSorry for resurrecting this post, (and pardon to Manos for derailing a bit), but can you give me your bake settings Decimalminimal??

I usually pre-heat the oven to 180°c, and pop the loaf in for about 20 minutes. When the dough begins to rise, I’ll turn the oven off, and leave it in for about 15 minutes.
However, I have absolutely no idea about 3D modelling.

Very nice…!

So i’ve decided to continue working with the model i made and stop with this one (besides any updates for the stock db) cause textmapping in this one gives me real trouble and especially when trying to do skins as the above one. More to come soon
-
Keep working on it buddy. I’d love to see an update to the cockpit. Who did the original (Qawa??), and would they object to it getting a facelift if they don’t want to do it themselves?

I cant answer to that as im not the cockpit creator!

the tacan panel is the equivalent of the backup one at the back (in the days before it was replaced by the IFF panel). you can use the UFC with the keyboard, and there is a button bind to repeat the DED on the bottom of the HUD.

Im not at my PC right now, from memory it might be Ctrl+Shift+H. Basically it’s to do with the cycle between displaying PFL, DED or OFF.

Ok model_0 for E is ready and flying as it should Skinning is in progress. I also did the “early” hardwinged E and RF-4E (those 2 will give me F-4EJ,RF-4C and RF-4EJ) also F-4C is ready (later D will be made from it).
Here’s some pics from the maiden flight :
And Here some WIP pics :
All vents are now part of the geometry and not on the skin and the whole Fuselage got some work to be as close as possible to the MDD profile plueprints i found…
Cheers
