Any ideas on what the circled objects are, i have modeled the things on the engine but i dont what they are so that i know how many i need.






here are some updates

You'll find that the engine "bumps" are the blisters to provide clearance for the valve rockers......

(Durn kids too used to them tooorbine enjuns and don't know about real enjuns!)

now would 30,000 polies be to much for a aircraft this size? i still need to add a lot of stuff

i will look up pictures of the engine to make sure though


here is what i got

Thirty-thousand polys, for something in that stage of creation, seems a bit much by my standards.  You might want to try getting it down below twenty-thousand, as the difference will be negligible.  Try removing some polys from things like the dorsal gunner turret, the engine exhaust thingies, the thing SkyNoz reffered to as "something related with the air temp" and other items.  Remember, you only have to make things complex enough to FOOL THE EYE.  And when you add on textures, don't forget that some of the details can be flubbed using just the textures themselves.

And the pitot tube, on a twin aircraft, can be on the nose, since the only reason for it being on the wing of an aircraft is to keep it out of the path of the prop wind.

Well there seems to be a lot of gray matter between the G, H, and, J


anywho this is just testing what i got




so you think i can get away with pentaganal bumps around the engines?

Oh, dont worry about them, I always carry niticide

I reduced the poly count on the cheek blisters and the exaust gates by 200 each, like it is in these photos there are 31075 polys

I thought i was doing good with 5800polys  


but i just merged an old version and now they make a combined 800 polys and the total is down to 24119
