I figured that I’d finally show something that I’m working on.
I still need to do main landing gear ( tail wheel is part of vertical fin ). I also will make a simple cockpit interior and maybe even a pilot. I intend to do a low poly version ( if I can ) to experiment in the GE.
Not bad! Love the design. Looks a little like a Dornier 335. You maight want to change those air intakes on the leading edge though. Although intakes are nice, that big and where they are wont be good for lift. Maybe just make them a little smaller…and idea anyway. Very different design though. Great work
Actually, it was inspired by the Blohm and Voss P193.01 ground attack prototype, but I made the tail more like a Bugatti air racer. I think I will make the radiator intakes smaller. Thanks for the nice words.
I made a pilot for it.
too bad there’s no cockpit yet…or landing gear…or working control surfaces etc.

Nice pilot. He looks…piloty. Good gas mask, Except that looks like a gas mask for troops on the ground with chemical warfare, rather than an oxygen mask. Be great to see it in the GE, Anyone know of semi realistic flight games in the Blender GE? I haven’t seen any around at all. Be great to get one.
If you want semi realistic (and not really-realistic), it wouldn’t be difficult to make. I experimented with the GE a few months ago and made just such a thing, though it was a pain to pilot. I’m not sure what I did with the file though. If I find it, I’ll put it up for download.
Great model Captain_Ahab, though from the looks of it, I think you should use this version of the model instead of making a lower poly version. But that’s just my opinion.
thanks for the nice comments. I wanted the oxygen mask to look low-tech, like what might have been used in ww1, just to be ‘odd’. I forgot to save it so now I’ll have to do it all over again anyways. WEll, I have to redo the helmet and mask, anyways. Once I get some decent understanding/experience with UV textures, I think I can make it look better still; its only face coloring so far.
The pilot is pretty low-poly…under 1400 tris.
( Counting ‘faces’ is not as useful as counting tris, imho, because tris are what the GE uses and faces might be made into multiple tris. )
