1958 Cessna 182
| "Retaining the look of this late fifties aircraft was a priority. Although it has an upgraded navigation system, the panel elements, as well as the rest of the aircraft, retain the look of the original. This is done by making some instruments look "added on" as would be in the real thing, and customising others to give them a vintage look. This gives the advantage of flying a "Modern" aircraft with the feel of flying a classic." |

The Tech and Tip Section

| These are some scenes inside Blender, the program where most of the work was done for this project. The first photo shows how sharp the detail is close up. The fabric over the panel started as one single cube and the texture was applied (mapped) to the cube. It was then cloned and flipped to book-match it to the original cube. This was repeated until the length was satisfactory. This method produces a very sharp detail because the texture is also repeated and used over and over. The joined sections are then shaped to match the panel as shown in the second picture...... Picture's 3 and 4 show the attention paid to detail. The Skylane logo was crafted from a separate object and this was mapped to the graphics, using a large enough section to bring it into clear focus..... The seats used texture sharing, one seat was fashioned and then a clone was made from this for the remainder of the seats. This makes for a more optimised and cleaner looking end result. |

In Progress...... This is a version of the Cessna 182 as Owned by Dennis E. Maddy
This version of the
Cessna 182 started as
inquiry by Tony Maddy.
He wanted a version like
his Father flew. So this
version minus the wheel
pants was born. When
completed it will be
added to this package.
