I agree. So far they have not said anything but it seems many people have ads of some sort on here. 😀 😀 😛

That is true So what's new ? 😀 😛

Not much. Looks like the military screen saver is not going to be easy. All the US aircraft 3d models I have, have the planes landing gear out. This makes them useless for any airshots I wanted to do. 🙁

I guess you can't edit out the landing gear? 😀 😛

I tried I can get rid of the landing gear but the bay doors of the landing gear I can not eliminate so they are stuck open. Models are not any good this way. 🙁

That blows 🙁

Where do you get your models from? 😀 😛

I got them from a Digital 3d store. These are digital models you need a 3d program to view them. 😀

I see I guess a regular picture would be of no help? 😀 😛

The trouble with manipulating a regular picture is (and this will sound odd) is the end result wont look real. This is because in a 3d digital setup the lighting and shadows get taken into account for the 3d model or object by the software. A photo manipulation would not be able to have this and thus the lighting and shadows and other nuances would all be off. One can get around that sometimes but its not easy.

Gotcha 😀 😛

So for now that project is on hold. Till I can find away to deal with the problem. Its a shame cause the models looked cool otherwise. 🙁

That sucks when you can't finish a project 🙁 There are some tank model conversions I'd love to do,but nobody makes the conversion set

Yea thats kinda the problem I have I need the models with landing gear inside. Why anyone would want a jet with landing gear out for rendering 3d scenes is beyond me. 😕😕
