Displacement is performed in Object Space, so the scale of the geometry affects its intensity. Displacement maps can be interpreted as having their center value (the one that produces no effect) at 0.0 or 0.5. In case of Bump Map or Displacement Map the shader will only consider the R value. 07.Specifies the type of mapping desired – Bump Map, Normal Map or Displacement Map. In the case of a Normal Map, a color is expected in as a value, it can be encoded in the style or DirectX or OpenGL. When you're done with this, group everything that belongs to the cockpit together into one Null Object and name it correctly. They don't need to be cubic objects as we don't want to make them translucent in the end. Repeat these same steps with the top and position it correctly over the sides.Īs for the windows, just use simple planes that you place inside the windows. Next put this side of the cockpit into a symmetry object and you're ready to go for the top section. Simply select the spline points (you must be in point mode) and scale them down a bit. To make your model look more interesting, you can scale down the window shapes of the second spline object. Now you can use Fillet Cap in the attributes of the Loft object. Move one of the splines away from the first spline object to gain thickness. When you have done this, duplicate the spline object and put the two splines into a Loft NURBS object.

Next, select the edge points and chamfer them on at a point. Then draw in the window shapes and merge everything down to one spline object. The first step is drawing a spline with the shape of the side cockpit. The method described below works best for me, but there may be other alternatives that may be better suited for your way of working, or that may result in cleaner meshes – but as this is just for a design, I am satisfied with the result. Using the reference drawing, I start to create the cockpit.
