i would like to share this nice commissioned mesh under 3500 polys in some development states
it's easy to realize why military stuff are more documented online by huge fan base and enthusiasts
most of draw views profiles and pictures avaliable are in good resolution
that really allows to model and texture conviently
"The Lockheed C-130 Hercules is a four-engine turboprop military transport aircraft designed and built originally by Lockheed (now Lockheed Martin). Capable of using unprepared runways for takeoffs and landings, the C-130 was originally designed as a troop, medevac, and cargo transport aircraft. The versatile airframe has found uses in a variety of other roles, including as a gunship (AC-130), for airborne assault, search and rescue, scientific research support, weather reconnaissance, aerial refueling, maritime patrol, and aerial firefighting. It is now the main tactical airlifter for many military forces worldwide. More than 40 variants of the Hercules, including a civilian one marketed as the Lockheed L-100, operate in more than 60 nations." -Wikipedia
this is how the occlusion looks ( with some minor errors)
diffuse map ( very useful for selecting areas on your painting)
i like to render on different stages because HQ renders can reveal mesh or texture flaws easily
besides, they are fun
suddenly, the model required was the -30 version wich is longer... so we stretched the fuse and went on trough the rendering to texture again just on the fuse
im not too confident yet with my paints but i can recognize a nice effort here
thank's a lot for passing by
