Title: Looking for orthographic projection of...
Post by: Aerotech on June 19, 2000, 04:57:00 PM
a Lacaster bomber. Dimensions aren't necessary and it doesn't need to be in color but I need at least 3 views, front, side and top. I would like to use them as a rotoscope for a 3d model. If anyone has some pics or knows where I could find some please let me know. I have tried numerous websites and the local library and haven't been able to come up with anything yet.

Thanks

No Sn1p3r I hadn't seen that page yet. And those are some great pics (I'll need to save some of those for the desktop   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif))

But the reason I am looking for orthographic pics is that the 3 views are scaled the same and the shot is usually straight on. I could use other pics but thought I would look for ortho pics first.It makes it much easier to rotoscope.

Thanks for the link,that'll be my first stop if I can't find the other views.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum might have what you are looking for since they have a flying Lancaster they might have some ortho pics, I doubt you'll find pics on web in the 3 views you need to make templates.

Yes yes...Sn1p3r and MrBill. that is exactly what I was looking for !! Thanks. I will certainly give those a try.

Torque, I never even thought of the Heritage Museum...I'll write them a letter. If they have something perhaps they could send it to me.   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Thanks
Greatly appreciated,
