Hyperion
« on: December 11, 2008, 06:03:55 pm »
unfortunelty I Cant use the model of Winter, C4D refuse to relax the UV and gives an error.
Also the lightning was not OK.

Easier to make an new model, then searching what the problem is.

I make an new model similar to the air-thing but with fuel tanks.
If you like the model I texture it, but give me feedback what color you like the craft have,
gray, light-blue ......

If that ramp underneath is the width of a soldier, then I'm afraid this model is much too wide. It won't fit on the dropship tile (the dropship tile is 16 soldier widths wide and 24 long).

No Problem, this are the proportions 16 soldiers X 24 soldiers, it still can fly.

I can also place the engines outside the airframe, then the cargo hall is bigger.

I like the last model! Maybe wings could fold along that pylons when landed so that it wont occupy too much space on maps?

Yeah, I think the second model is awesome, but the first model is nice as well.

Looks realy good, but doesn't it have to be able to hower and start/land vertically to be able to operate as a dropship?
That thing looks like it needs a runway.

I quite like both models! I think the top one (plane2.jpg) is best as the Hyperion, though we may be able to use the other one for something else (Starchaser interceptor maybe?). The only change necessary is on the engines, it needs adjustable outboard engine nozzles like the Harrier Jump Jet to show STOL capability.

Regards,
Winter

Maybe a lift-fan, like in F-35?

Decided to condense most important 3 responses into one place.

These three together would make a great Idea, maybe a choice between Winter & Zorlen's engine ideas.

Yea agree, I texture the first one, and adapt the second one.
I can make some frames in the model that the wings could fold.

And make some more concept models of airplane's ( can also use them for my website ).

OK here some shots.

I have give it an other rotary engine with nozzle and an lift fan at the front ( open close diafragma ),
so the plane can lift vertical.

And make the top wings could fold.

some shots

Yeah, that looks like something that could fly rather fast and still carry a bit, while being able to land in tight spaces.

Looks like something that could glide and go far - very economical and long-ranged.
