Spectacular 3D Entry: Paul Robinson

#18

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

#19

heres the wings and engines of the 747 for my entry

#20

Looking nice so far, nice concept and the tower model kicks ass so far, good luck!

#21

Oh the engine and plane wings look awesome. Looks like a spectacular model’s on its way :wink:

Yong

#22

ta. rear of the plane is coming soon and hopefully some more detailled layout of the scene will be as well

#23

heres the back bit of the plane (minus tail wings) and the mid section between the main wings

#24

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

#25

nice modeling, good luck

when i saw your thread i remenber : today is 9/11:sad:

#26

heres one type of tent for my tent city

#27

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 :wink: 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?)

#28

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…

#29

Any chance of a more detailed sketch? I’m not sure I completely get the concept you are going for.

#30

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… :slight_smile:

#31

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

#32

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!

#33

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’

#34

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

#35

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

#36

Kickass progress with the modeling! A lot of time left in the contest and u’ve done so much already. Angle 1 I like the most for the explosion, but you could still play around with more angles. Wish you all the best.

#37

Interesting concept…

i like the first view angle, however, would be more spectacular if the turbines or aircraft parts are falling to the ground

Good luck!!:thumbsup:
