F-18 Hornet WIP

took a while to get those oils spills right! I feel its coming along pretty nicely! -
@okayasugf - the canopy looks better and better!
-
@Stevie its just a placeholder for now, something for renders, once its exported to falcon, the material for the canopy(glass) will be assigned
-
-
not much to show this time around, but redid my landing gear completely. now it looks like its real life counterpart -
@okayasugf - dang…you’ve been busy!
-
@Stevie yep, real life commitments have been a hinderance! Hopefully i can find more time this week around and get this beauty the treatment it deserves!

Please make sure backup your files often and do not lose your files again!

VERY NICE! If I may make an observation, the square access doors , like on the nose, don’t reflect the SH’s reduced RCS traits
-
@drtbkj - the close shot that shows the surface detail on the fasteners is also off - all of the fastener heads (Hornet and Super) are flush, without any visible countersink. You should be able to fix that in your bump map, I’d think.

@Stevie yep i’ve done it in the textures, rn making the landing gear as realistic as possible to irl

Indeed good work, very detailed
-
took me some time, but refined the gear according to real life references.
Thanks to @Radium @lazystone for their very good feedback and advice! gonna fix the texture that are a little messed up and try to make it matte color instead of this shiny
-
@okayasugf Damn she looks mighty real
BTW if poly-count didn’t went out trough the roof, canopy glass could use some more smoothing. It’s very minor thing, but noticeable compared to the rest of this magnificent model. -
@Xeno i think your graphic cards can handle a few 100k tris , so yes ill be increasing that pronto!
-
@okayasugf Cant wait to see the pilot model as well! If you want some uniform references for the pilot model, you could go to this website https://www.salimbeti.com/aviation/helmets4.htm

Keep up the great work!

@BuckyTooth90 Thanks for amazing reference! I will sure use it while making my pilot model!
-
@okayasugf No problem
-
@okayasugf - the gear actually are gloss white, and tend to stay that way over years…they get dirty, but the gloss seems to never come off.
