    Thumbs up Bell AH-1Z Viper [High Poly]


    Hey guys, I haven't made a WIP thread in FOREVER! So to ensure I work to my full potential on this, I will be absorbing all of those awesome comments of criticism and encouragement and use them in the great struggle against procrastination!

    So I have been working on this model on and off for a little while now. It's now the time to step it up to the next level and finish this bad boy. I just had to model this thing after playing Battlefield 3, such an amazing bird!

      I managed to do a 12 hour stint yesterday on this. Got most of the panels in the right place. Now it's time to get to work on the wings!

          Hey guys! Don't be shy, if you wanna say hi you don't have to be afraid

          Here's a little look into the detailing I have been doing for the tail rotors.

            Hello my silent friends!

            For now, here's an update on the rotorhead. It's nearing completeion, with probably a few tweaks to be done once I notice they are needed! Enjoy...

                  It looks like a good wip
                  I'd be useful, for the sake of criticism, to post some references.

                    Very nice detail-work on the rotorhead, so funny to look at!
                    Are you going to bake that thing?

                      @Existentialist cheers man!

                      @djorzgul reference up in this post, that's a good idea. I will do some more comparison renders shortly!

                      @Mr_Cash thanks man, this will be a full high poly model, so no baking will be involved, I will be unwrapping and texturing it at some point also!

                      Happy New Year people! I have a sweet sweet update for you, the near to complete tail section!



                      And here is the reference image of the opposite side! (pretty much still the same)

                        So this is the detail-complete tail section. I am really happy with it! Now as I am currently unemployed my main goal is to get a 3D related job. So I am having to draw the line here and stop modelling the rest of the chopper for now and focus on getting the work I have done into my portfolio. This sadly means there may not be any updates from me for a week or so, getting a job and freelancing to survive are my main priorities!! After I finish some freelance work I plan to get back onto this project and finish off the modelling & texturing.

                                Here's a little update! Noticed a few faults with the geo in this render, but overall the area is pretty much done.
