Description
Not my usual stuff, of course :) but for me this is a milestone.
Not that it is an "aviation" picture, but the fact that IT IS MY FIRST TRY AT UV-MAPPING a model from scratch.
The B-29 model itself is an untextured freebie from the I.N.R.I.A. database.
Much more could and will be done, but I just had to make a scene with it, being quite pleased with this first attempt (which included making a separate reflection-map, and the propeller-blur alphaplane in PS (the yellow propeller-tips are almost invisible, but they are there)).

Some of you may think it's low-level, making something out of being able to UV-map a texture, but for me it's huge. I've had the freeware "UV-mapper" for several years, opened it a few times, just looking a little, going "????"
But now I spent more than 5 minutes looking at the options, and downloaded the latest version.
Took a look at the galleries and the tutorials.
After some 15 minutes of trial-and-error, exporting some maps and mapped objects, I finally got it - and it's easy!
For me, who really likes making/editing textures in Photoshop this is SO big.
Should have pulled myself together to this years ago :)
Thanks for viewing, comments etc. welcome and appreciated.
Have a nice weekend

Has impact. I really like this image. Great work.
Very good texturing, very good render!
Very good effort! well done indeed. I'm impressed! rob.
Very cool work!
Wonderful scene and excellent UV Mapping... for a first time it's a great one !!
Great image! Love the clouds. And great work n the UV map.
It's a great study and turned out well. Makes you more versatile. The whole scene is cool. The clouds are a bit rough looking but look good otherwise.
Wow, super!!!
Nice work. Now make life simple for yourself. Get a copy of CS4, bring in your 3d object and map away to your heart's content. S'easy! It's a brilliant addition to PS which not many folks know about.
