BUMP/RIGGING: P-47C Razorback

I nearly finished the rig now, still looking into the gear as there is a problem with a gimbal-lock I think. The rest is all hooked up to fancy sliders and working!


And here is the finished bump map for the exterior. There might be something to add later you never know :) Enjoy!

Rigging: Republic P-47C Razorback

Today I did not feel like texturing much so I decided to finish up the rigging of this bird to get it to a workable level. I've finished both landing gears (they close now properly at any angle of the bird with all covers etc.) and the flap arrangement. Now the flaps were quite interesting as this is roughly what they do when extending or contracting:



























As you can see there are multiple hinges and dependencies here so it was a nice challenge to get working on both sides and still have them work whichever way you turn the plane :D

Some beauty shots I also felt like making:


















Enjoy!

Still some texturing glitches in the colour map and I haven't fully finished the bump yet.

Texturing: Republic P-47C Razorback

I've been busy unwrapping the P-47 and consequently started texturing. So far the bump map for the exterior is almost complete and there is a basic colour map for the exterior, interior and engine.
