T6 Texan Cockpit

T-6 Texan II Cockpit

SAIC | Maya, Substance Painter, Unreal Engine

Created the cockpit interior, pilot seating, UV layouts, and textures for a simulation-grade T-6 Texan II aircraft used in immersive VR flight training. Designed for close-range interaction within virtual reality, the cockpit required a high degree of visual accuracy, readability, and detail fidelity.

Texturing was developed in Substance Painter with a focus on realistic materials, surface wear, glass reflections, and operational controls. Interactive switches, knobs, and cockpit systems were built to support training workflows, while aircraft labeling was implemented through optimized alpha-card systems to maintain clarity and performance.

The cockpit was designed to withstand close user inspection in VR environments while meeting the performance constraints of standalone Quest hardware.
