Picture help

[Linton]

Can one of you clever people make me an avatar?I am looking for a picture of an A300 aircraft transformed into Thunderbird 2

Or could you put thunderbird 2 into Monarch colours?
Any takers???

If you are looking for help by a talented artist on this board, I am not it. I can probably morph the two though. Not sure what it would look like.

What are you looking for exactly?

[Letum]

I'm on it. ;)

Give me 24 hours.

Anything else you want on it?

[Letum]

Is this what you want the aircraft to look like?

(This is just a WIP) no details/styling etc etc yet

Oh, and do you want it to be animated like my sig of still?
(Animation reduces image quality)

Looks almost like the X-30

That is truly excellent.If you can get the number 13 on it behind the cockpit it will be perfect!!A static version is fine.I am going to use it it on my union forum.

Letums got some talent!

[Linton]

Just the thunderbird without all the lettering will be great.Definitely leave the smoky engines in!I have a different name over on my other forum.The image must be 256x256 and no more than 20k .
You are a very talented person Letum.What does an Airbus painted like a thunderbird look like but retaining the Monarch logo on the fuselage??

[Platapus]

I am so envious of people who can create artwork like that.

[SUBMAN1]

How did you do that Letum? I'd be curious to give it a go myself.

I used a rather expensive program called 3ds Max, however there are plenty of
other free programs that can do just as well.

All take quite some time to learn, but it is fun.
If you are interested and have some time, give me a PM and I will see if I can set
you in the right direction.

.I find it cool that you managed to port that into 3dsmax. That is where I'm having issue. I have an older version of 3dsmax around here somewhere (from about 2002/2003 time frame), but never understood how one would import an object without physically drawing it.

I have Blender too, but most of my drawings were always 2D in AutoCAD LT's various revs. I must look into this importation thing.

Thanks man!

[Letum]

Importing?

I made the object!

Subdivision: 30 mins
UVWing: 20mins
Texturing: err....10 seconds? :P

Nothing special really. I'm hoping to cover over the poor quality in photoshop. ;)

That's what i thought. I have heard that you can import something from a picture into the newer versions and turn it into a 3d model, no?

I'm no expert on drawing in 3dsmax, or blender for that matter. Must learn one of these days and make a cool animated movie or something.

Nice work. :up:Linton asked for an avatar, so 256x256 makes sense (actually, it's pretty generous for an av).

[Letum]

Well, here it is at 256x256 with no text of extras.....a little dull. :huh:

Letum ,thank you for all your help.The picture will look great as an avatar.On the board it will be used on signature strips are not allowed and I will put a suitable comment underneath it.The A300 is used to rescue long haul flights when the dedicated long haul aircraft are unavailable.We call it Thunderbird 13 to the rescue.Can I use your designs as a sig strip on this board?
Can you put Thunderbird 13 to the rescue on it?

Sometimes you guys are too cool for words.

Well done.
