A quickie

Just using a new method to cut planes from their screenshot to make a composit, works great!

[Sean_TK]

Very nice! What's the method?

[ShaneG_old]

Indeed, what is this method, because that is some of the best cockpit transparency editing I've ever seen, and that stuff isn't easy to do.

I've been working too hard apparently.

Do you use Maxthehitman's method? It's about the easiest one I've ever seen. 8-)  That man is a wizard at this stuff.

Yep, that's the one. 8-)

Great job on the cockpit.

What I do, is lasso/select the area of the cockpit and copy it, then erase only the parts of the glass that you can see all the way through.
Next paste a copy of the original area you lassoed, and place it where it goes, and set the fader on it until you can see through the glass to the background.

Thats the cockpit glass method I've been messing with. Got that down, but now I'm still working on giving the glass the "glass look" back with the light reflections and all.

[ShaneG_old]

In that case I'd say you have pretty much got it then.

Just add a slight touch of sunburst to your highlighted area on the glass and it should be perfect. 8-)

[gtirob01]

Definitely takes some practice to do the glass. Still not liking the outcome so far.

As for the method you use to do the cockpit glass, i think the only difference that I do is use the polygon tool instead of the lasso tool. But, whatever gets it done, right?  8-)

As long as they keep looking that good, you can do it any way you want.
