Work in progress...

Update 8

I'm officially done with the cockpit now. Next up is the exterior texturing of this plane.

The cockpit is now fully textured after many, many months. Take a look inside!

Update 7

All the instrument panel graphics are now in place.

360° view of the interior...

Update 6 (A.K.A soft surface modeling update) - end of modeling phase

Makes me super happy that this 57 mil. polygon behemoth is finally finished after many, many months. 

Update 5

Update 4

Everything below is currently WIP.

I used Cinema 4D to model this plane.

Update 1-3

Texturing was done in Mari

Bunch of stencils I created for the texturing of the exterior...

Quick testrender of the model. I took 360 hdri on location where I also shot all the reference photos for the project. So, now I can compare my CG model with the photos of the real aircraft.

Cessna C-152 is my current personal project I've been working on for a couple of months now, between the commission projects and on the weekends. I had an opportunity to actually fly this thing in real life for a moment and that experience made me fall in love with aviation and flying. So, being a 3D artist, I took tons of photos of the plane, went home and started modeling the very next day. 
Exterior modeling is done and I already started working on the textures as you can see. 

Hope you like it, more to come soon!
