3D model of an Auto-Gyro GmbH Calidus for paint tests

[maher]

The past few days, I've played with modeling a 3D approximation of an Auto-gyro Calidus, in order to test some designs of paint/stripes jobs before committing on a final version.

I used Rhino 3D for the modeling and Electric Image Animation System for the photorealistic rendering.

This is a of my last test. For a 360 degree Full HD animation of this test, follow this link :

Yo Maher! Nice aircraft! No matter how you stipe it, this thing is awesome!

Thanks Rick!

I like your Bullet animation very much. Hope I could rig my gyro model so I can animate a take-off/landing animation.

When I follow my own link on Youtube, I sometimes get a movie with a very weird wobbling camera travelling. Does anybody know why?

Please follow this link instead :

Youtube ask me at the first importation if I want to correct a stability issue but it totally screw it when I answered yes...

Another test. An auto-gyro without wings but with wings ;-)

I like the second one better. Then again, why stripe it when you can paint it for fifty times the price?!

[maher]

Yes,

that gyro brake my wallet for quite a while! I need to keep the decoration expense at a minimum.

Since I never did a complex texture mapping job in EIAS, I learned a lot doing those tests. I have 4 textures mapped on over the other on the tail of my model.
