PeanutButterJelly Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 yes you saw it right, he made the repaint of an GM TBM3 Avenger VH-MML owned by Steve Searle it was not a request or so, but i was planning to repaint this plane anyways, thats why i asked for any download/ buy location but seeing someone that anthousiastic about it i made this my first " real project " As you can see its still far from completion, some textures need to be relowered or slightly moved, the propellor is still a bitt transparant and some parts are just tricky to do but i couldnt leave it like this without sharing the fans of this wonderfull pease of art i painted one wing at the wrong side etc etc so after a few hours on the drawtable ( yes i use a pen to draw on my compy ) this is what came out, so yea its not complete ( thats why its a wip ) still to cover some problems like a slighty transparant prop and moving some textures this is getting nice it reflects on sunshine, i also added the sensor lights to be true and all that kinda stuff its not done yet, but i hope you all like it so far, just one little question, where can i host this after hitting " this is awesome i want to download!!" when this change from a WIP to a DL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hutchie Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Hey matey, Awesome to see that someones doing a repaint of the big girl.. Just one thing i noticed is the numbers and what not look a bit big.. but yeh i'm no repainter so wouldn't Iknow lol.. I have a couple of shots that may come in handy. I would have got better shots last time i was went down to cooly but i wasn't aware anyone was doing any repaints for it.. Here they are: MML is currently at Port Maquarie Grounded as it had Engine Troubles which is a shame because now MML and VTB are both down..So maybe someone in The Port Maquarie area might be able to go and get some shots but yeh..

PeanutButterJelly Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 sorry for the doublepost, but i cant alter the one below me so, i just give you all a small update on the retextureing as parts were to big etc etc phase one consist the repainting of the tail end the end of the fuselage wich is a pain in the *** because you have to render it out ( again ) but as you can see here it all worked nicely after that the tricky part begins, since you have tiny bits of puzzle and small amount of blank texture, so i create a cheat, what i like to call the weather effect, like rusty stripes etc first the front side of the engine, that worked out, and now the maching thing since you have to cover the wing, you dont want to have wing texture over the fuselage, a tricky part but i get the hand of it ( after a few hours of agonizing ) Something you dont forget is the pride of this ride, his beauty of an engine, now i still want to have a picture of the frontside of the engine, but the propellors are worked out heres the result this concludes phase 3, and one side is completed, i mean the fuselage next i have to do wheels wings, lighting etc etc so i keep posting updates if the admins wont mind, since i cant alter my posts after an hour or so... after looking this in flight, the props are very well done, the fuselage is even wors than i expected, back to the drawing board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
