Thread: My last project on Blender

  1. #1

    My last project on Blender

    Hi,

    Using the beautiful Twin Wasp modelized for the Canso, I have try to decline a R-985 Wasp Junior version for ..... De Havilland Beaver DHC-2.
    My aim is to portover the FSX version of the Beaver on MSFS but in native mode. I wil try also to add as much detail as possible without forgetting a damage mod (the same as the Canso which is being tested but adapted to this R-985) and JS script developed to manage water tanks on the PBY.

    This aircraft add-on should be maded according the Microsoft’s Game Content Usage Rules, available here: Game Content Usage Rules | Xbox like the Grumman Goose .

    Some pics :

    Very nice artwork! My last project on a blender was a frozen margarita!

    Looks really nice! Especially this, without engine cover !

    Freeware ? Upload please !


    As Frank Drebin would say: Nice Beaver !

    Shakin, or stirred, it certainly looks delicious !

    Vive la France...

    A quand la dispo ?
    Always doubting is close to the truth...

    I don't want to compete with Milviz's Beaver (I don't have access to their developments but there have been leaks of some content on the web) but try to offer something different.

    I'm thinking of putting a link on my github very soon so that people can download current versions of this Beaver.

    A) At the moment, I'm focusing on the exterior model so that I have one model with normal wheels, one with Tundra wheels, another with floats but without wheels. I think I can add optional skis to the model with wheels.
    For the Tundra model, I wanted to get closer to the Beaver you can see in the Disney movie "Never Cry Wolf", hence the engine without the covers.
    Here the flight models are roughly made but they already allow standard operations even if the exterior animations are not implemented.

    B) In a second step I would focus on the interior model and the instruments.

    C) Finally, I would like to add a damage mod and JS scripts to manage the payload. The damage mod would be inspired by the one I created for the C150 TiBush a few years ago and that I am testing on the Canso PBY-5.

    That sounds very ambitious. Good luck with the implementation of your Beaver-project!
    Many MSFS users are most likely waiting for this model.

    You can never have enough Beavers, that looks terrific! On another note, what ever happened to Galloping Ghost?

    The Galloping Ghost is definitely not abandoned like the Savoia S21.

    For this racer, the exterior is fully modelled and animated and the interior remains. I have put this aircraft on hold because I don't have enough images or video of the interior so I'm looking for documentation to continue. I did find some images of the VC but they are of equivalent planes (P-51 based reno racers)
    If by the end of the year I haven't found any info, I'm thinking of doing a VC in my own way.

    Good evening,

    Some news about the Beaver which is progressing slowly.
    One of my friend is making good progress on the Harrison Ford texture for the N98S. Ford and on my side I worked on the Paintkit and on the "Fasteners and Ribbons" part.
    For Jankees ....



    These ribbons will be probably made on the 3D via the "Decals function" of MSFS.

    This allows ribbons or structure lines to be drawn on strips which are then applied as decals to the aircraft structure:
    - it saves a lot of vertex rather than processing them in 3D,
    - the effect is impeccable,
    - whether the ribbons are on top of the model texture paint or underneath, they are definitey using the undersurface as their base color (alu or paint).

    The hatches for refueling and for access to the cargo/battery compartment are cut out and functional.

    Nice, thanks! Btw. here is DHC-2 from 11th SU. ; )





    but Beavers like Spitfires, they arent boring even if we have few more .

    Here is a small image of the latest test with the latest SDK, the one of today





    You will notice:

    - the new Alaska BushWheel tyres (the rim needs more details: valve, nuts, etc)
    - my friend Bô (Bear) in the background with his nephew (look carefully ... on the right side in the background =D

    - the trick I added to the Canso and which concerns the exhaust gaz, I added an effect of flames which according to the mixture are yellow (too rich), blue (too poor), transparent (ok) and in more they are animated

    - the heat released by the gases is also represented.


    To differentiate the mine from the Milviz Beaver, I am thinking of upgrading mine with a STOL kit (like this from Stolairus http://www.stolairus.com/product/BEA001 )
    - vertical ribs on the wings to improve the airflow,
    - modified wingtips to improve lift at low speeds
    - some extra horsepower on the engine ...

    Beautiful Lagaffe. It's great to see the repaint textures are 4k.
