Even though more then a month has passed i haven't had much time to work on the VTOL :blush:

But this is atleast what i've done so far.

landing (in an arctic area)
composite

It probably wont get much better then that...
Holey Molely, that looks fantastic!!! :o
I love it!!, love it!!, love it!!

The first one will be a briefing screen and the in-game sprite is PERFECT!!
I couldn't have imagined it better myself.

How long did you say you've been doing 3d rendering?

weee, im being praised :lol:

According to my first 3dsmax file it was created in 2 april 2003, so before that i had never seen a 3dmodelling application before... (except for bryce which i had done a couple of skies in by clicking 2 buttons)

I have a couple of other things on the website, i think this (recreation) of an op2 scene got rather good... op2scene

Should i make a transparent 45degree step by step of the vtol pixel and send it to you? (you have photoshop i hope?)
Code: [Select]
\    |    /
  \   |  /
    \ |/
----X------    <--- Like that if you get what i mean...
     /| \
   /  |   \
 /    |     \

Or do you need smaller increments like 22,5 degrees?

Also, Should the darker shaded portions be in some specific color? Blue, Red?

knux'll need it to be in 0.25Pi radians (50 grad) (22.5 degree) increments or you won't got a smooth animation when vehicles do the turn on the spot turns.

Well I'd like 8 degrees like you have shown. I'm having all the sprites with 8 degrees. That seems smooth enough.

Pretty darn good, Zircon.  I like how you colored in the stripes (so each faction's color can be shown on the craft).  Makes me wish I had bothered to learn 3D Studio Max from my friend who was making a Warcraft II intro movie back in seventh grade (it wasn't that bad--he had an Orc draw a bow and I don't know what else).  The "briefing" pic gives an atmosphere of suspense and excitement in preparation for the mission (which might well be an insertion of a commando squad  :ph34r:  in the enemy's base).  (thumbsup)
  One small question--I greatly appreciate your work, ability, and effort, so please don't get me wrong:  the aircraft is a V/STOL, right; so during flight, does it use aerodynamic surfaces (wings) to achieve flight, or is it kept aloft almost entirely by the force of the exhaust gases?

Regards,
Axen

It uses MHD propulsion.
I guess it uses magnetical fields. :heh:

No it uses jet propulsion. If you look at the large screenshot, there are jet streams coming from underneath.

Let there be color...

I've got half finished models of the scout, spider, tokamak, cargo vehicle and the tiger.
But things are going slow and starting Uni like i just did isn't helping either...
You've done a fantastic job so far.
Oh and I meant 8 directions above, but I've got the file you sent.
I'll send you another message regarding that.

I love it Zircon.  It's a tad too big in my eyes, but it still looks really nice.  :)
