Very nice, and pretty true to the concept aswell

[Ion Cannon!]

Your skinning skills have improved substantially. I like the model as well, except the wire between the tail and the body of the aircraft.

[JJ]

Ah cool, looks like something GLA would use. The housecolour bit at the base of the wire looks kinda odd though.

UPDATE:



USA Strategic bomber. Doesn't have a name yet. Any suggestions?

[Pav:3d]

try making it a tiiiny bit taller, or defining it a bit more on the skin

[Dauth]

It seems a little pancaked tbh, some more depth would probably help.

[JJ]

Wow, I like that one. =o

Uhh names, uhh Swan? Peregrine? Archer?

[Wizard]

I agree with the others that it does look very flat, however the render angle could have something to do with it. The skin is very good though. Your skins have improved a lot! Well done you.

[Stalker]

It's not really flat. I'll post some renders from different angles when I'm at home.

[ΓΛPTΘΓ]

DFC bomber?

It does look like a flying cross. xD

[Stalker]

new renders of the bomber:

Are you certain about that? It couldn't look much flatter if you tried. What render settings are you using?

[Pav:3d]

Its far too flat could pick up the rear wings slightly which would make it look less flat

[Stalker]

You're right it is flat ;-)

But I like it as it is and I'm more concerned about Ingame-looks.

I tried. Doesn't look good

[Dauth]

Could you show us some shots in game to show off the effect you're trying to get with the flatness?

[Ion Cannon!]

I can't see how it would look worse if it was less flat, I imagine it would look alot better in fact.

[JJ]

You sure those renders aren't stretched? Because the plane looks so flat that it gives that impression.

[Shirou]

Also the cockpit textures look messed up, they should be more sharp edged as well. Now it looks really weird, like the windows are just slapped on it, not naturally.

less flat version:



I'm not sure yet which version I like best.

also I don't have it ingame yet, my point was that It wouldn't really make a difference ingame.

And I can't really see what's wrong with the cockpit texture. Sure It could be better, but ... <see sentence above>

UPDATE:

A GLA BRDM-Styled Armoured Car or APC

[Wizard]

That is a very nice model you've got there. My only criticism is that you need to add some darker areas to the skin. Right now all of the panels join up. Traditionally there are dark lines that separate the skin at the joins or corners. What you have are lighter areas, these don't contrast enough imo. That said you've still done a great job with it.

[JJ]

Yea, just needs to be burned, a lot, otherwise, quite good actually, you have no problems with adding details.

[Pav:3d]

Indeed, darker areas is a must, also try some splatter burning with some grungy brushes to make it look more like scratched up metal. Could also try instead of just lightening the edges make them look as thought the paintwork has been scratched off.

[Stalker]

Thanks for your comments

Update:



I'm not really sure if this really looks better

EDIT:

I'm a bit confused now, on my laptop it looks light brown and on my PC it looks orange

Well it's color is goldish on my screen :o
I like the model, but the skin is definitely too bright, especially those wheels D:
