CGI A380

[Guest nextlevelgfx_ger]

Here's my current project (non MSFS, high poly model) as a tribute to the first flight of the real thing today ;)What do you think? :)http://www.nextlevelgfx.de/3d/a380_lh_270405_02.jpg

what is it for? MSFS? Xplane?

[Guest nextlevelgfx_ger]

none of that ;) not for real time rendering... I'm planning to make a little cg movie with it ;) like take off, landing, etc. with lots of technical detail and as realistic as possible ;)Well, maybe I could use that 3D model of MSFS, XPlane, Fly or whatever but I'm not sure if there would be any problems because of the polygon count... it was never intended to be a real time model ;)

ahhh.. so this is a 3d model you are creating to use in a movie?

[Guest nextlevelgfx_ger]

yeah exactly :)

Cool - be sure to post a link to it when you are done!

how long do you think it will take before you are able to release the movie? Id love to see this one. :-jumpy

I'm not quite sure... it's nearly done though. I still need to work on the landing gear detail to get technically correct animations ;) especially the wing and body gear are quite tricky... also, I'm thinking about recreating the flight deck and the interior of the cabin... but I guess I wouldn't finish in 10 years then :D hehe
