Another vehicle of my private film project. I'm not satisfied with it at moment. I already collected some suggestions but i would apreciate to have some more.
Thank you for taking a look. This vtol (the design of the engines depend on this) belongs to main character in my film project. He rides it before he gets blown into universe.
The plot is in near future. Everybody wants me to put more dirt and damage on it. But it would not fit into the story. Similar to our world everyone cares about their cars are clean. I don't want it to look like these made out of one piece stealth things.
So if you have some suggestions, it would be great.
Cool look. Kinda like space ship one and a V-22 mated somehow.
One thing that I do to get something to look right is to imagine a piece of machinery's purpose. If it needs to take off vertically, it also needs engines that change positions as shown for example. My suggestion would be to look at every piece of the spaceship and imagine a use for it. If a vent or a warning lable doesnt perform any task you can think of, remove it.
Also, i dont think you should put any dirt or scarring on it, except maybe as the result of reentry, but it is too damn shiny. Why does it need to be shiny? If this is a military aircraft, reflective (easily seen at long distances) surfaces make no sense.
Thank you a lot for your comment and suggestions. The whole design and parts I have done regarding purposes wich make more or less sense. I put the same warning label anywhere to get an idea how it would look like. You are right. I have to put them in places where they make sense.
Even though it is not a military aircraft (the drawing is somehow misleading) I agree that it is too shiny. It should look more like the varnish of civil aircrafts.
Since I get the feeling that this is a military vehicle, I will make suggestions as such. I do not think that it is too shiney; if it a atmospheric and space craft the heat and gasses from escape and reentry velocities would scour the surface and polish it very clean. Also, miltary aircraft maintenence crews are anal about their aircraft (and put their pride into them also), so they would definately keep it this clean. I think the problem with the shiny comes from a lack of heat shielding (because of having to deal w/atmospheric encounters) and you should consider putting that on somewhere. I like the ideas of the caution and warning labels, but those could use a little tweaking; if you live anywhere near an aircraft carrier museum, you should definately consider taking a trip out and looking at it close up. I think it would help with a lot of questions. I like what you've done with the cockpit by keeping the glass minimal and structural steel (or other material) prevalent; I think it keeps it more real like that. You might want to reconsider all the compartments you've put on the outside on the craft and also putting some sort of fueling jack more easily accessable (visible). Other than those small points, I really like your vehicle and it looks like it would be a blast to fly. (It also kind of reminds me of a cross between a Orion starfighter and Hercules heavy fighter from Descent Freespace, but only very little).
Great job and thanks for reading my incredibly long comment.

Die ausgezeichnete(verschiedene) Form der Motoren und des Schwanzteiles. Mir gefällt sehr.
