SR-71 Blackbird

[The_Coyote]

was on my list (and iirc Ekmek wanted it also)

the SR-71 Blackbird

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SR-71_Blackbird

the model has 565 vertices and 726 triangles and a relativ dark 256 skin

linked the model to the jetFighter animation (without afterburner)

scale for picture 0.48

i´m still not completely happy with the result, the brightness of the texture could still need a little bit "fine tuning" and the model, not exact what i hoped how it look finally . But i think for normal civ scale it´s even so ok.

Nice plane, the skin is a bit too black for my taste, but I can easily change that if I want to. Thanks

Maybe you could ask the author of this skin if you could adapt it.

feel free to post the result (for the people who can´t do it)

@ Xenomorph

thanks for the link, would been a great master for the texture (but because i want to learn i look what other people do and than try it myself [knowing that there will be inferior results ]. But this way i can learn from my own mistakes - here i think it would be better to extrude the wings to get rid of the hard line between wing and body)

@ all
thanks

@The_Coyote

Yeah!!!, I wasn't expecting this aircraft but it is just great to have it, surely the texture could use some work, but overall it is a great model, thanks!

Ok, since you asked for it, here it is, a slightly brightened Blackbird



Left : light version, right : your version

Actually it turns out way darker than the skin itself, both yours and mine.

I guess i dont have to say that i like this plane

..considering the *color*, did you try to brighten the material properties a little?
I did only in Nifskope without testing it ingame but it looked promising..

 

[The_Coyote]

yes i did, (but after the third trial, i decided to stop) First i had a greybird , than a really black (only black) bird and third was the last. I´m aware that the texture need tweaking (thanks mamba for sharing yours!), but because of less time to model last week, i decided to push the model out
