Title: 3D Cessna 172
Post by: Fekke on January 24, 2007, 07:13:37 PM
Hi!
Lately I've been making a Cessna 172 in 3D, and it's almost finished! All thats missing is the interior and maybe some details.
Since you guys know so much about planes, I wondered if you could give me some feedback on this model. The final animation is going to be cartoon-like (toon) and therefore there aren't a lot of details.. Here you can see a picture of it. Comments and critique is welcome!

Her is a short movie of the plane:

(Yes, the livery is inspired by Chuck's Cessna  ;))

Looks pretty sweet, you got more talent than I do.  Might want to add a line for the engine hood.

Yes, I was thinking about doing that..
BTW, the movie hasn't been completely uploaded to Youtube yet, so it could take an hour or so before you can watch it..

The movie works and it's sweet!  Are you going to animate the prop and control surfaces, too?

Yes, I'm going to make most of the parts movable, probably after I've created the interior..
