hey all,

i was wondering if anyone had some good pics/scans of the HUD in a VF-1? i tried the search function and got nowhere with it. :( i found a couple of flight sim type pics but they looked super basic...no actually cockpit details or anything.

i don't need a pic from a toy or anything, but what the actual HUD would look like if you were sitting behind the cockpit of a VF-1. maybe someones has a good scan from one of the macross art books out there?

anyway, i thought it would make a really cool background for my desktop, this 1S strike pics is getting pretty old.

thanks in advance!

I found a few that may interest you from the DYRL Gold Book, but my scanner is down at the moment, I'll prolly have it up and running in a week or so.

Interesting alpha, but what are those things in the mirrors? Also maybe it;s just me but I wouldn't want to see a Valk going that fast without a pilot.

Hey Rodavan,

You wouldn't happen to have a hires pic of that cockpit console from the pilot's point of view, lying around would ya?

I think that's what a few of us would like to see.

I don't think it really needs to be textured, the rendered model with the same grey texture would be fine.

I could find anything that I got from the net , but it would be easy to create , if they don't need to be rendered . I will try something this week end and post on Monday or Tuesday :)

Hope Rodavan didnt mind that i took part of his hud. :mellow:

Wow man, really cool pic! Hmm, how about some variations from that??? Space, other valks & enemies in distance... Sdf-1... Nupetiet Vergnitzs... Death Star... Arrghhhh... :wacko:

Is this what you wanted ?

The only thing missing is the HUD display on the console.

You may want to make the canopy reflection more from the outside rather than of the console itself.

Still beautiful!

Knew the reflections where going to be a problem , the render took about 5 seconds, now that I know what we are looking for I can refine the render.

I will redo without refelctions and hud display...

Question , I can't see a HUD on the movie version cockpit ?

Any help on this ?

I never really noticed, I'll check again, but SK may have used the cockpit canopy as a virtual HUD as in later shows...

Edit:

Yes indeed. The DYRL cockpit uses the canopy as the HUD, so there are no HUD plates on the console.

I'll try to make a few scans , this weekend, of what's been animated.

BTW, amazing work!
