---------------- Sep 3rd, 2008 Just about finished remodelling and retexturing pretty much the entire main terminal, which has taken up pretty much the past month. Added a lot more detail to it and more photoreal textures, as well as rendering everything properly. I've also worked on getting the 'Aeroporto Da madeira; signs to look like they have a bit of structure to them. Added cube-mapped reflections to all the windows too. ---------------- Jul 14th, 2008 Still going, don't worry! Two new shots added. ---------------- Mar 16th, 2008 Finally arrived at lighting levels I'm happy with for the night-lighting, so I'm re-rendering everything. Two new shots added. ---------------- Feb 24th, 2008 Had a bit more success with the night-lighting and I'm making a proper grass texture as the texture I had in I decided looked terrible. I'm also remaking a few of the road junctions to make them more realistic as well as shifting the proportions of a few parts round as a check of Google Earth showed me I'd got a few things wrong. ---------------- Feb 9th, 2008 YES! I've finally been nagged (thanks Robin and Ridz :-D ) into restarting and hopefully this time, finishing this project. I've learned that I simply don't have the attention span for projects of this size unless I plan things very, *very* carefully. I find that I can't just sit down and do 'something' to it - I have to have a plan of exactly what parts I intend to do otherwise I just end up sitting reading forums or listeining to music or whatever. For this same reason I'm never trying a project with other people involved again, as I just can't guarantee the commitment. That's not to say there won't be future FS projects, it's just unlikely, and definitely noting major. I still have vague rumblings about doing Gibraltar, but we'll see. I've got a lot more experienced in by time off, so I'm going to be remaking a few objects and I'm starting by remaking the night-lighting such that it is. A couple of fresh shots added below. Left to do now are the mesh, the night lighting, a bit more modelling on the south side of the motorway and a few animations like traffic and a bit more airport furniture. As far as updating things for FSX go, I don't own FSX and reading about online, I don't really like the new techniques (things like the curved earth really mess up the way I make my ground for example). We'll see how rich I am once I finish it and I may buy FSX and do an update. I really like the idea of the approach to 05 with the tunnels reflected in the water. I've also redone the forum, as the old one seems to have broken. Sorry, but you'll have to sign up again on the new one. |
