Hi Slater,

thanks for your comment! You might be right with the noise ... it is always tricky to keep the noise on the leash ;-)

> I like it...if u posted with different famous name u could got many comments.
What's the deal with different famous name? I am not sure what do you mean here. What's wrong with "air fleet"  or "mikedee" ?

[slater]

Nothing wrong with your names ;Di meant if you posted your thread work with others famous keyshot forum nicknames, for sure you got a lot of replies also if work was not good. Because i see a lot of nice and good thread works without comments and suggestions ..and many others silly thread work with many comments..that is

Actually, I like the noise- it's a different approach and quite dynamic.  But I'm not clear as to if this is a cutaway or ghosted image, or if the fuselage actually looks like it has "missing" pieces?

OK, I got it.

Slater: well, that's the downside of any social media. This "tool" related forum is not excluded.
Thanks for the clarification anyway. In fact, I do enjoy any constructive conversation! Keep it up!

Speedster: Actually, this is a direct shot over the 360 HDRI environment. Guys at mi360 are just incredible. Yeah, this is a bit of an advert here ... I gave some of their DVD's to T of Keyshot, and as far as I remember, they are still in the discussion. I guess, stay tuned  ... meanwhile, they do support me. No reason not to love those German doctors and professors. Just google them ;-)
It is a WIP though ... there are indeed missing pieces. Being a designer, this image aims to represent target form language. So the more you say about the visual, the better it gets!

Thanks for all!

Great design,
But I'm having trouble figuring out some of the shapes.  I think a different angle will help alot to bring this design out more.
I personally feel you are losing alot of depth from the lighting you used.
Would love to see you push this more.
Thanks for sharing.

This is nice - Im loving sic-fi concepts these days (working on one of my own). Its a great design with some nice forms going on, modelled very well by the looks of things. I think you could push the materials/textures a bit more, and I agree with Tim in that this particular shot tricks the eye a bit with whats going on (the back, nearside fin looks like its wrapping right over to the cockpit).

Would love to see a couple more shots of this. Straight up side and top views would describe the form I reckons.

Nice stuff

Great feedback! Thanks a lot guys!

[Josh3D]

Really looking forward to more shots Mike. Personally feel the ground and FWD RH could use some deeper shadow work. Seems a challenging aircraft to capture all the detail!

[edwardo]

The more I look at this, the more i start to see some really nice shapes and curves! Love the back exhausts shape (its just like the front end of a speeder thing I'm working on), and I love some of the flowing panels - curvy yet faceted, kinda 'soft-stealth'. You definitely need to crank out a few more shots of this. I recon a hanger shot would look great!

Big +1 on the hanger shot - Over-exposed and with that classified grainy look to it

Hangar is definitely in the pipeline ;-)

And meanwhile ... the next experiment with this form language.
