neoexcaliber Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Hi guys. This is my own attempt at modeling the VF-11 based on the 1/72 hasegawa kit. It's not accurate and there are many errors here and there but I just wanted to get it done as practise. I'll probably redo it from scratch once I get the actual kit as it's hard to find proper reference on-line. So far the cockpit is very basic and there are no landing gears yet but I will probably start texturing it first. This is where I need help from you guys. If someone has a hi-res scan of the stickers/decals and instructions/manual from the Hasegawa kit, that would help me a lot for texturing. The ones available online are not clear enough and the texts are too small to make out. I've also tried asking in the model kit sub forum but it hasn't been very helpful. Anyway, here are some basic renders without any textures. These are only renders with materials. The panel lines were cut into the polygon itself. Any comments/feedbacks would be greatly appreciated and I will keep them in mind when I work on the V2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsain Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Wow, that's awesome! (null) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoexcaliber Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 Wow, that's awesome! (null) Thanks! Here's a little turnaround video I rendered overnight. Just noticed some gaps in the model but I'll probably fix it later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Wow, that looks fantastic. How long did you work on that model? Any chance of a transformable version in that V.2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganbare Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Nice turnaround. Added some texture would made this model awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoexcaliber Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 Textures are still in progress and I'm going nuts trying to get it right (uvw unwrapping isn't my thing). I'll probably make the V2 transformable, but I don't know when V2 will happen. It might even take months but I plan to do some super short animations of this plane flying.

neoexcaliber Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 The textures are finally done. The design/color scheme is based on a build by puttey_mariwo which I saw here. His build was one of the best I've seen on-line so I decided to copy it but I'll probably make some amendments later on. View the video in full HD to have a better look at what I've done. Special thanks to Chris@Dobber for helping me out with the decals/sticker placement. Next up: a short animation featuring this plane.

neoexcaliber Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 Thanks for the comments guys. Here's a frame from something I'm working on, although I'm not sure if the final product will look the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobber Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Wow! I'm speechless! The quality of some cg models (like this one) is Truely amazing. This really is a beautiful model, you should be proud of it! Fantastic work!! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cannon_fodder674 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) i hope your video looks like the ones in the yukikaze intro . that would be so cool. EDIT: looking at the video, I concluded my expectations are too high. A fanmade flight video of the vf-11 is already thumps up on my scale. am still looking forward to your video.

Funny you should mention yukikaze coz it's a part of my reference. On a serious note, I do plan on making a short animation but the completion date depends on my day job and the fact that I don't have many Macross-related 3d models yet. Which means I'll have to build them one by one, unless someone wants to donate their fairly detailed model. Very Sexy! You have that in a higher resolution? Here's a bigger render: http://img94.imagesh...0120113vf11.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zinjo Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Are there any plans to do a VF-11D version (may fav... ). That would be soo damn cool. I am loving your work! I don't know why by I get so jazzed when I see some outstanding CG work on unloved Valk designs (VF-9 excluded.. )...

Thanks for sharing There might be, after I get the base vf-11 ready for transformation to battroid first. It might take some time though coz I'm out of holidays. The good news is you might see something related from Kurisama soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
