My experimental fighter made in Blender

[Fitter]

Hello Guys! Here I am after a loooong time.

Take a look at this toy I made using Blender... 4 hours of work

Looks like a 50's lawn dart so far.

still using the old version of Blender I see; I guess texturing the thing shouldnt be too hard, just UV unwrap it, and use photoshop to get the textures right.

Hello,

Did some changes on the design... in the belly specially...and the canopy size is bigger.

Can you do the textures when the model is finished?

I'm not that good in textures...

[Fitter]

Updates... all moving parts were cuted... now I'll start do make the cockpit... comments are welcome

[Dickert]

WOW!  Looks very "Retro" or "Art Deco".  Is that in the game or just a background within blender?

[RaptorF22]

No, that's blender internal render with a background.

[Dickert]

So, it it flying yet?  Lets see some screen shots from in the sim...

[RaptorF22]

Is there even a blender .mdl plug-in?
I didn't know it was possible to get an aircraft to flight sim directly from blender.

Well there isn't a truly workable way, which is kind of the entire point when you get right down to it...

Hello guys, sorry for the delay on the reply...

I believe the only way to put this baby to fly on FS is to export the model at once or in parts to a file format such like .3ds in order to import the model in 3DMax or Maya or other FS compatible software.

Blender can export a lot of file formats... but it will be a challenge to finish that one...

There's other tool called Deep Exploration, from Right Emisphere that do that type of file conversion, and it also can change the LOD levels.

But Deep Exploration is a payware tool and I don't have it.
