I thought that out of respect for your company and the absolute quality hovercraft that you have produced i would share with you that I will be creating a semi-realistic version of your hovercraft for a "free" popular video game. I will be posting the design soon enough.

If you have any questions or would like to contact me, please e-mail

As you can see there are some added featuers and gimics there to give it a "cooler" look

This craft is going to be upgraded to military use to i had to find a way to adapt it to military lifestyle, ie adding gun equipment to it as well as some internal protection

now here comes the hard part i had to skin it, applying a lifelike texture from scract,this is prototype which is being redone

I thought it would be nice to show you the progress of something being done for a game, a concept taken from your great work and turned into a game figure

Very cool Chris! Are you going to try for the segmented skirt look? It would add a few more polygons but it would be more true to the design of the craft.

If you look at some of the photos of Neoteric hovercraft you'll notice that the skirts are composed of 66 individual "fingers" that puff out when air pressure is applied. Many other hovercraft designs use a single "bag" skirt design. The way you've modeled your hovercraft makes it look like a bag skirt instead of finger skirts. I guess that's ok and it simplifies your design work, but a finger skirted looking model would stand out more.

Ah ok yes i see what you mean now, it would be nice to add that nice feature but for this peticular engine and use wouldnt be usefull. I will be texturing the skirt so it looks like that but thats as far as i will go. I will be posting updates shortly of the texture, have it done now but im not satisfied at all
