Dante74 Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 Not really, the Hidetaka images are as good as they're gonna get, so there's no need to Photoshop more Valks into them. Thanks anyway. Quote
Jay-Lew Posted September 17, 2007 Author Posted September 17, 2007 Actually, I did get back into it just a few days ago. Finished mapping all the little extraneous details like to landing gear, the circular doo-dads on the nose, legs and near the wings, the missiles, and all the rest of the little details. I am currently working on the cockpit and the pilot. and I'm probably gonna do a set of VF-1S textures as well before I start doing the Battroid mode. I will post some new renders after I finish the cockpit. Thanks all! Jason Quote
Mr March Posted September 17, 2007 Posted September 17, 2007 Hey Jay-Lew, do you still have that awesome SDF-1 model you made a few years back (I believe it was 2005)? It would be great to see some more of that, perhaps even some wallpapers. It was incredible. Quote
GutsAndCasca Posted September 17, 2007 Posted September 17, 2007 Jay - PLEASE MAKE MORE PICTURES! MAKE A LOT! Thank you. Quote
wwwmwww Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 I will post some new renders after I finish the cockpit. We are waiting in pins and needles. And let me second Mr March's statement. I'd love to see more of your SDF-1, mac666er is giving you a run for the money. Just eager to see more, Carl Quote
Jay-Lew Posted October 18, 2007 Author Posted October 18, 2007 Hey all! Well the progress is continuing, slowly, but it is continuing. So while I have not finished the cockpit yet, here are a couple of images showing the current progress. Hope you all like it. Thanks Jason Quote
Lonewolf Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 That is really nice modelling and texturing work, I love it. I must say I was hoping for a block 6 type cockpit. Your work is great nonetheless. Quote
Dante74 Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Looks very promissing so far Jason! I love the amount of detail this VF-1A has. Quote
Zinjo Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 (edited) That is really nice modelling and texturing work, I love it. I must say I was hoping for a block 6 type cockpit. Your work is great nonetheless. Yeah interesting fuselage textures to be sure... Not sure if the aircraft should have a brushed metal type finish though. I do agree a block 6 (DYRL) type cockpit would look pretty amazing too! Regardless, WOW stunning work! Edited October 19, 2007 by Zinjo Quote

It would be great to see some more of that, perhaps even some wallpapers. It was incredible. What he said... I kept meaning to do some Photoshop work on it to create a photorealistic scene of the SDF-1 from the park, but free time and skill level have not been my friend recently. Anything new on that project would be greatly appreciated. It has to be one of my favorite renders of yours.... Edited October 19, 2007 by Zinjo Quote

I do agree a block 6 (DYRL) type cockpit would look pretty amazing too! Regardless, WOW stunning work! Yea, the fusulage textures need some tweaking. I was experemanting with the specular map. and it doesn't really work, I've just been to lazy to take it off right away. They also need to be higher resolution, cause they kinda break up when you get close enought to appreciate the cockpit detail. I'll go back and rework them a bit once the cockpit is done. Thanks for all the comments! Quote
GutsAndCasca Posted October 20, 2007 Posted October 20, 2007 Okay - so these gorgeous pictures I'm looking at are a computer image? It looks like a real-life honest to goodness obscure yet perfect model set. It looks absolutely amazing. It looks real! Is this for a CG movie or somethin'? Quote
Knight26 Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 Very nice TV series style cockpit, must be down for maintenance however since there seems to be a lack of control sticks, lol. Seriously though, really nice work. Quote
Dermeister Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 love the art work.. only thing that anoys me more than ever is every 1 always uses Skull Squadron for all theyr VF-1's theyr must of ben 100s of Vf-1's in service no? i dont know about macross but for fighter squadrons in real life they have about 24 aircraft per squadrons 12 to 24 depends what branch what country ect therefore theyr must be loads of squadron logos you can find from macross Lore on the net if not make your own. i sound like im criticising im sorry if i do its just a sugestion of what wouled make those awsome peices of art even more attractive to me. Pardon my english its not my first language. Quote
SchizophrenicMC Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 Dermeister: Well, the fighters most often modelled are part of the Skull Air Wing. It's the entire group of VF-1s based on the Prometheus and SDF-1. An air wing encompasses several squadrons, who have at most, 24 active pilots. During wartime emergency, like the entirety of Space War I, all pilots are assigned to active duty. This said, it would not be illogical for there to be 35 to 40 people per squadron actively flying, but for the hundreds of VF-1s seen to all be flying. We see the non-Skull VF-1A UN Guard models at Alaska Base. You never see the Air Wing Logo on any of the planes, save for the Skull Team planes. (Roy, Hikaru, Max, Kakizaki) They are the pilots in Skull Squadron, the namesake squadron of the Air Wing. Now do you see? Quote
