Detail of the front of the cockpit. Other than the CoPro, the rear seat is very similar.

Came up with a couple of shots for the opening of my latest reel. Totally stole the idea of the last shot from the Mission 8 cinematic when Champ gets shot down. Was fun to recreate the slow mo shot.

This took a while. Started as a way to learn proper workflow for taking an asset from modeling to texturing, rigging, anim, lighting, rendering, and comp. The X-02s from Ace Combat 7 was a big challenge in that respect, and taught me a lot.
I also later decided to turn this into a 1/48 scale model kit, which presented more challenges, but ended up working out great!
