Description
Here it is, now fully modelled, rigged and textured. I will be doing more textures for it, including taxi colours, police schemes and several plain old civil colours too. This particular flyer carries the standard red & white corporate colours of the Sindusan Corporation, the company that manufactured it. The winged logo on the door is the logo of their Servicing and Repairs Division; hopefully no surprises there after you look at the logo. The text on the side of the nose reads "Servicing & Repairs Division". If potentially dangerous faults occur the on-board AI will refuse to let a craft fly so they have to be repaired wherever they happen to be. In addition the on-board AI in a flyer will refuse to allow flight if service becomes overdue. Company engineers are only allowed to visit customers using a company flyer, so they are likely to be seen by the neighbours. Independent service engineers usually have the same rule about using a company flyer, for exactly the same reason.
I could not resist rendering the extra image of it in the moonlight with the lights on and the door open. Pretty lights! Who doesn't retain that childish appreciation for coloured lights? I certainly do. You can't actually see the red light but you can see the light it casts on the ground. You can also see a reflection of the moon in the windscreen and the gravity manipulator rotor housing on the tail end. I love the way almost all 3D CG software is so good at those reflections, and of course Blender is no exception.

cool ride. and well designed.
Thank you! I still wish these were real and I could own one, that's really what inspired all of my flyer designs, it's wishful thinking.
After the traffic snarles we got caught in yesterday going out for dinner (both going and coming back), I NEED one of these!
Sweet work on this awesome ride, my friend!
As I wrote above, these designs were inspired by wishful thinking, so we are on the same page! Thanks for the visit.
You're most welcome! And I'll be happy to be on the same page as you anytime, good sir! 😁
A rotorless helicopter? What a cool idea.
The round part in the tail of each of these craft is a gravity manipulator rotor. No idea how that might work, but it's science fiction so I don't need to know. I do wish these flyers were real though, I would absolutely love one!
Thanks for the comment.
Looks fantastic. So you sorted the facet problem then? :-)
No, it's not fixed but this angle doesn't show it. I'm glad you like the little ship though, thanks for commenting on it.
