Thanks guys…
I’m taking a small break from working on the tower and I might move onto the plane for now just get the basic look going…i’m going for a normal passenger jet
also, on the concept, i decided to go for something that was a bit more grounded in reality and something that i knew would get a response from people i.e. terrorism
i’ll be back soon with some plane done
this is just a standard max texture i fiddled with to try and get it looking a bit wet…cos its raining in the scene…
plane (wings) coming in a sec
Oh the engine and plane wings look awesome. Looks like a spectacular model’s on its way 
Yong
ta. rear of the plane is coming soon and hopefully some more detailled layout of the scene will be as well
heres the back bit of the plane (minus tail wings) and the mid section between the main wings
So the basic shape of the plane is all done now the next stage with it is to decide how it will be hitting the tower and destroy appropriately
i think i’ll have an engine falling off, a wing snapping off, flames billowing from a hole in the side (bomb on board) and smoke coming from all the engines (those still atatched…lol)
should be fun to break it…
also apologies for the bad timing of the update…my bad
Man are you keeping a good pace! We’re like 5 days into an 80 day challenge and you are almost done with the modeling! YIKES. Way to get crankin right off the bat I wish I could do the same but I’ve got too much friggen homework! Lol.
I like where this is headed. I also agree with your decision to make the plane collide with the tower. Otherwise it would be easy for the viewer to think the plane is “behind” the tower and not actually going to collide.
Have fun creating the explosion. I have NO idea how that is done in 3d. Good luck. (or are you just gonna “paint” the explosion in photoshop?)
thanks mate
modelling is about 30% done…cos i still have a few tent variations, the rest of the tower, the destruction of the plane and the tower and then the environment…
the environment is going to kill me…lol
as for the explosion i’ve been experimenting with some stuff in max over the last few days and might put up some renders soon…
Any chance of a more detailed sketch? I’m not sure I completely get the concept you are going for.
i’ll try and have something for you tomorrow nichod as i’m just about to finish up on my work for this for the day… 
this is just a quick test of the flames and smoke and such on the plane…
i think i went just a bit overboard…hehe
more tomorrow
Don’t forget to have smoke coming out the front of the engines as well. And make the smoke more swirly and of course I’m sure you plan on having it soften and drift as it gets more distant from the “source”. Great work!
yeh i thought i should have some coming out the front too…
i’m gunna put alot of work into the smoke, fire etc…i want it to look ‘spectacular’
I was beginning to become unhappy with the angle that I had previously so here are 4 different angles (including the old one) and I need some help choosing the best one…
I like the first one but I would like to get some other opinions
also if you have any other ideas for a shot that would be great
id personally go for angle 4 , but out of all of them i dont really like any. No offence, but i think they could be a lot better angles. Just try out a few more before deciding.
You have an interesting idea, id love to see anything french go down :twisted:
Good luck
