Become a writer. I'm not kidding - the USAF PAO will line up an opportunity for you to fly a 'second-generation' aircraft; as long as you pass flight physical, even to act as A/C in ACM - 'dogfighting' - in a close-regulated environment. (i.e. - you go up in the trainer version of an Eagle...

Both current/dream: Author/illustrator/animator... (A la 'Eric Foreman' - "yes yes, yes yes..." *Grin*)

Here we are - just a quick little 'fun' bit of animation done, using orbiter meshes/textures... As a note - it looks 'okay' in standard, but better in high quality, if you choose that format...

Hohkay - you be saying 'cheese' now, yes?

I simply imported into Carrara (with existing textures), then assigned existing color-mapping as the bump - took all of, oh, may six seconds to assign, about ten-fiftee minutes to render... (...which makes it obvious why they don't use it in-game!) Normal-mapping would actually be a faster...

Hello, all... I'm an artist/illustrator/animator (amongst other things), and I've been doing some 'Second Unit' CGI work. On a lark, I decided to try and throw 'something else' into one of the scenes I was doing, so I almost randomly chose to use an Orbiter mesh... and the end results were...
