Flying things

<< < (2/2)

Nice work, particularly the M-Tek.  It's got a bit of a Lockheed Blackbird, Firefox kinda thing going on, only bigger.  The exhaust effect is very well done.  Perhaps a black-to-white gradient texture in the transparency field, applied to the outer shell of the exhaust "flame", would be a nice touch, fading it out from front to back.  But I am just getting picky, really great model.  Planning to anim8 it?

It is a model of the GodPhoenix craft from the Japanime "Science Ninja Team Gatchaman" known as "Battle of the Planets" in the U.S. so the colors are correct except for a yellow specular tint I used for the red to give it a "flame" look.
The red thing is one of 3 fins at the back.  ...if you look closely you can see it has a red leading edge with white trailing edge. you can just make out the port fin just to the right of it.

I'm thinking about making the wings on the M-Tek variable geometry so they change shape depending on flight profile, but am not sure I like the way it looks that way.  I used to be in the navy and am trying to get the look of the GE F110 Turbojet AB flame. I think I have the color and luminosity down, but need to figure out how to give it that "feathered" look
