Put the finishing touches on this 450k poly monstrocity on the eve of my 18th.
Applied a simple texture with basic bumpmaps, if you haven't noticed, the panels are actual polygons.
I... don't know what I'm gonna do with it now.

There are fighters out there that are more manueverable (Su-47 Firkin), more versitile (Rafale M), and more stealthy (F-22A Raptor), but none as badass as the Su-37 Terminator.
Also keep in mind that the F-22's ONLY relevant advantage over the Su-37 is it's "Stealth". The 2-to-1 T/W ratio does little for the F-22, exept give it higer accelleration at sub-sonic speeds and super-cruise. The F-22 doesn't have enough weapon stations to take advantage of it's higher payload, and fitting that much hardware would mean lots of external ordnance (which would cancel out both stealth AND supercruise abilities). The F-22's initial climb rate (approximately 63000ft/min) is only marginally higher than that of the Su-37 (approx. 55000ft/min) --- the Su-37's continuous rate of climb is higher than the F-22's at all altitudes. The Su-37's senors are comparable to those of the F-22, but production Su-37's would have 5th or 6th generation FCS systems (as opposed to the already exellent 4.5th generation sensors used on the Su-37 prototype), which would render the F-22's rather modest stealth funcions useless. The Su-37's FCS also includes an IRST (Infrared Search and Tracking System) which, unlike radar, emits no radio waves that would gice away one's presence and position and/or bearing (it can also be used to aim and fire heat-seeking missiles at the enemy!) --- the F-22 has no such system, nor any provisions for one.
Lastly, the F-22's Thrust-Vectoring Nozzles (TVN) always pivot in almost the ame direction, where as thse on the Su-37 pivot independantly --- this allows a HUGE range of maneuvers that the F-22 is incapable of, and an F-22 would be helpless against a foe using these in a dogfight.
There are numerous other advantages that the Su-37 has over the F-22, but I think I've proven my point.

Very nice! I dont normally have the patience for things with too much detail, although detail is what makes something look professional:P I took a look at the other Sukhoi you did, and although the colour tones fit, and the camera angle is kickass, i think you didnt do this model much justice. The blur could've been ellaborately masquaraded as high temperature air coming from the back and a little around the wings... But overall i give you an A+ in the 3D department:)
FA+
