Description
Here is the final design with textures. This was done for my friend Patrick Hurd's in progress short film, "For Hire". I tend to be detail/design oriented and probably gave Patrick a bit more that he expected.
The design features a radial engine, fully operational flaps, static discharge wicks, and is autonomous. Also, the ammo shells get recycled within the gun pod. I did this for 2 reasons. First, it preserves the center of mass by trying to maintain it's weight (just like the F-18 Hornet does). Secondly, since this is a indie film project, I wanted to give Patrick the option of not having to deal with the extra time/expense of a particle system for the ejecting ammo shells.
Finally, the weird looking "bug head" is supposed to be the sensor array (like the AH-64) but without ripping off the design of the Apache's.
