Heli Flyer has been updated!! Now the helicopter is much more responsive to inputs. Also, we now have Mode1 support. So now all those people who fly with Mode1 can fly with ease.
TIP:
If your having difficulty flying, or find the helicopter too quick for your reflexes, go to the advanced tab and slowly raise the weight of the helicopter. Making the heli heavier will help slow it down so you can gain control.

Happy Flying!

I have had a great response to the initial release of Heli flyer especially from my friends at rcgroups.com.

After a year of work my iPhone app is submitted to Apple! It will not be approved until around mid august but, I’m glad to have it complete. Heli Flyer is a game that teaches you how to fly r/c helicopters at three different flying fields. You start out on “Easy” mode and as you get better the flying becomes more realistic when you go to more difficult modes. For the pro flyer, you can go straight to advanced mode and set it up the way you like it.

Here’s a video of it in action:

If you were wondering where my old site went and wanted some Maya rigging tutorial goodness or some nice 4 year old demo reel action just follow the link in the right Sidebar, you can see some of my artwork from school.

Last night at a friends wedding, someone asked me where they could find my blog. So, I started one today! This will be a resource for those who are interested in iphone game development and 3d modeling and rendering in Zbrush and Maya. Often times when working on my own projects I will search and search on the internet for an answer to something and end up figuring it out on my own. I always plan to host my results somewhere but never do. Now, I have an excuse to contribute to the internet community and hopefully be some help to those with similar interests to mine.
