This is a modern fighter jet with the “Canard” wing configuration. Inspired by the Sukhoi SU-35/37 series Russian fighter jets.
Model is fully rigged and textured. Also comes with optional nose-art. Cockpit and ejection seat are modeled. No pilot.
Armature movement is automatic where appropriate (landing gear only requires rotating one bone, wheels and turbines spin automatically when moving forward etc.). Detailed instructions are included in the file.
(**UPDATE: Fixed some minor texture issues, added weapons – 3 types of guided missiles, 1 unguided bomb, and right shoulder mounted machine gun. Updated cockpit with instrument displays. **)

Nice model, and rigged too – well done! Haven’t had time to check out the file – good luck with the comp
Most superb modelling and texturing. Great work indeed.

Did you do all the texturing in Blender, or did you use external programs? I may have to look into Blender’s texture paint features; my new computer can actually handle them…
Textures were started in Blender with basic diffuse colours using texture paint. Then a layer of baked ambient occlusion. Since UV maps didn’t necessarily map to straight lines where they were supposed to on the model, I thought I would have to end up drawing lines by hand with a very steady hand using Blender’s live texture paint. Fortunately I found a blender plugin called “Texture Paint Plus” that adds the ability to draw straight lines. So that let me do all the bump and spec mapping inside Blender.
I had to bring it over to Photoshop to do the layers for paint scratches and the text for the labels. I don’t know how I would do that in Blender internally but would love to hear if anyone else does. GIMP would have worked just as well, but that’s personal preference.
Lastly the nose art I drew with a tablet in MyPaint, which is a Free Open Source program that I love, and highly recommend.
Great work!

very,very goog work.
Congrats turquoiserabbit for winning overall!
This is amazing! A retractable fuel probe would enhance the model even more. This looks a lot like a SU-37.
