C-130 in low above the sea.

Postby machineman9 » Wed Aug 06, 2008 2:31 pm

My second edit for the week, and I think this one turned out much better than the other shot I edited a few threads below.

C-130 flying low...

The herc is a freeware trial and the background is an image I took from in Scotland at Fort George.

I searched around for a decent prop tutorial on SimV and checked some of the tutorials lying around but I couldn't find one... so I took it upon myself to try my best to replicate it. I think it turned out fairly well for a first attempt.

C+C as always please.


Cheers

Yeh...

I didn't know how to do them properly... it was either FSX props or those  ;D

Still, I am getting there  :)

And thanks  ;)

very nice! i agree about the rough props, but one thing you may want to try (i do this myself) is to take the screenshot while the props are not moving. you can do this while flying by taking off with a different aircraft, pausing the game(make sure its paused) and switching the aircraft in flight. when it loads, the engines should not be running right away, thus the props arent moving, then take the shot and blur and smudge the props with your editing program to make it appear as if they're moving.  ;) hope this is of some help  :D

Ah so he did.  Cheers both. Yeh I searched for 'propeller' instead of prop through the workshop, so thats probably why it didn't find it.

Thanks, I will use it to my advantage next time  :)

This is a real inspiring piece of work m8!  Fantastic perspective!  You need some work on the props for future efforts but if you need any help or tips just pm me. :)
