@sheref hello, what do you mean ?
-
@Radium hi radium.
If I may offer a few observations on your model from my perspective. The fuselage behind the canopy (around the middle of the wing) seems too skinny and that mean it also lacks the curve/taper towards the exhaust nozzle at the rear.

Hello everybody,
I am very happy to publish the first screenshots of my Lavi, inflight !
Both halves are now welded, and except a couple of updates, it starts to be good.
On my screenshots, you see that PW1120 engine’s nozzle are wide open, just because it’s not animated yet.
Gear doors are now implemented, but gears are not yet completed.
Of course, I just applied a diffuse color, it’s not final at all.
I guess, I will do liveries :
- IAF 115th Squadron (F-16A style)
- IAF 105th Squadron (F-16D style)
Cheers !

Hello Gentlemen,
I am very happy to post my first screens of Lavi, with the completed 3D mesh :
I do not mean that some little stuff won’t be updated, but the aircraft is here.
I tried to put as much details as I could, and it’s a pretty high poly aircraft.
Soon, I will start unwrapping, and DOFing.
I hope that you will like it !
שלום עליכם

Hello,
Usually, when uwrapping is getting completed, I like to check my smoothing parameters, and if everything looks good.
For this one, I usually generate an automatic texture file, including 3 layers :
- Diffuse layer, with a basic color
- Ambiant occlusion layer, with an optimal resolution
- Vray RTT, with an HDR render.
Globally, Lavi looks nice, But I noticed a couple of mistakes that I will correct.
Also, main landing gear is still not textured. More to come !
I just wanted to share with you some of my working methods.
Best regards,
Radium

@Radium Thanks for sharing! Excellent work!

Hi !
Before I go on holidays, please find some latest updates on my Lavi : exterior model is now fully unwrapped.
As you can, I gave exterior cockpit and aircraft nozzles a good treatment. Now, time to unwrap landing gear !
Except some minor updates, We are pretty good.
Best regards !
