F-302 traditional

Post by GateGirl86 »

This is my take on the original F302 from the show. I have though made a couple of changes, namely the wings are more aerodynamic and there are two additional guns placed in the wings.

This is a special project, you might say a commission I did for my Dad. The scene depicts the USS Peleliu of the coast of the Aleutian Islands after it was detected a Lucian Islands foothold had been established there. F302Ds from the Hammond are there to assist.

I'm glad he thinks this one is better, I'll include it in the next update, or just add a new one beside "Sea waves" and call it "Water waves" I suppose!

I missed your last reply. And yes I agree, a different take on water effect would be nice.

This one looked so good, I made it BIGGER!

Thank you Michael.

There is something special about getting a good result with the render and especially when you can go to that size and still see something almost flawless. That is the power of Raylectron.

Two things that stand out for me when you zoom in. The port nav light and the glow effect (green) coming from the cockpit. :)

Thank you to both of you. I am so glad that finally after all these years I can at last create something that makes people smile. <3 :salute

A little extra for you.

Two F302Ds of the 85th Fighter Squadron, 2nd Attack Wing, from the USS Hammond, patrolling over the Bay of Tears, just outside of the Capitol, Lucia on the Lucian Alliance Home world. Showing of the new anti-radar ‘snakeskin’ coating, which can be quickly applied in the field to all small assets. The extra low radiation effectively makes the aircraft almost impossible to detect by enemy sensors.

Beautiful to fall in love with. <3 <3 <3 How did you actually come up with using this texture as an "anti-radar coating"?

@Okwa I wanted something unusual, so I found a aircraft aluminium texture. Although when I used the size needed to show the paneling and rivets, it looked terrible. So just reduced it and the reflective sunlight did the rest. I then remembered some study we did on snakes in med school (for antivenin research) and a lecture from a snake handler on how well snakes are adaptive to camouflage, because of their skin. :salute

It does look beautiful doesn't it? <3 <3 <3

@GateGirl86 Beautiful is far too small a word. <3 <3 <3

Ohh, I could have sworn this texture was one of the wood textures in gray. :D
