G-L_AngeL · October 2003

*whishes he could model*

I really do, i just dont seem to be able to get to grips with it <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>. I have 3DS Max 5. And done that fighter tut. And rounded stuff off etc. But to do somethin without a tut. I dont think i could do it :'(

Menix · October 2003

Legal version of 3DS Max 5 and you don't know how to model without a tut? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

Azrael2709 · October 2003

Lol that looks like some sort of bomb. Nice model, I would use it.

Dillinja · October 2003

its a generator the fat thing stikking in the middel will rotate and the antennas well i think u know for what they are good

Akalamanaia · October 2003

hehe make it look like reactor(with nice glow and stuff..)when electricfied...would make it look MEAN...Cool model

Dillinja · October 2003

exatly thats what im goin to do 8)

Align · October 2003

It has no base anymore(in the 3rd pic), does that mean you intend for it to hovar without flapping?

RPG_Jssmfulhud · October 2003

Looks very different from the old model, and that's why I like it. A good skin and it'll look great. Keep up the good work. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Thief · October 2003

looks very badass <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Icejelly · October 2003

to make it hovar (no jokes here.) would be darned interesting, it's like some kinda futuristic reactor which is hovering due to some whatchamacallit thingy energy. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Dillinja · October 2003

i was thinking of the same idea yesterday and i think if i can handle it it will hovar with a little glow and smoke or somethin 8)

Unreal_Panther · October 2003

I'll do it....

Dillinja · October 2003

great u mean the uvmap right

Maus · October 2003

*pops in again*

It's pretty awesome. My only criticism would be that it would probably be better if the top and bottom faces of the cylindrical parts were flat instead of being on an edge like that (if you can picture what I mean). Presumably it's a pretty dang heavy machine, so you'd not want it resting on an edge - you'd want it to have as much support as possible. I think it'd look much better if you gave it some kind of a base instead of making it hover, as that kind of technology doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the TSA's equipment. Perhaps some kind of a cross between the two designs you posted.

As for the skinmesh - get lithunwrap (linked in the "learning to model" sticky) and you can get most of it meshed using a "cylindrical" map. Everything but the side pods (the parts with the antennae) and the front and back faces of the cylinder, in fact. Then you could make those pods share a skinmesh (by meshing one and mirroring it, and deleting the one it's replacing), and you could possibly get away with using a cylindrical projection to do those too.

Maus · October 2003

Sorry - simple concept I didn't describe at all well:

Dillinja · October 2003

ahh ok jap good idea

The_Real_Quasar · October 2003

You should've said "The bottom and top are pointy. They should be unpointified."
Simple.

Fox_One · October 2003

I think it could stand some more polies...

AbsolutSwede · October 2003

Personally it is not my taste. Sorry. But non the less it is a good model. Cool stuff keep up the good work.
