X-Wing
 

With the star wars trilogy DVD release posters i'm seeing every where i needed to model something to celebrate it. So here's the start of my x-wing.

Yippi!! Go X-wing!!! Nice job so far.
Are you going to texture it?

Got another update and yes i am going to texture it. I'll probably get the modelling done in the morning and start texturing in the evening.

and wings closed.

cool could u probably post a wireframe picture??

and: will you create textures in photoshop or so? or just shaders created within maya???

Yes i can post a wire but it'll have to wait untill the morning as the model is on the computer up in my room.

As for the texures, yes they will be done in photoshop.

one wire for Dragonhawk

:eek:

WOW fast and good. using any blueprints on it ?

looks pritty acurat to me.. almost makes me want to get out my sandcrawler and race ya ! LOL

yes and no. I started using blueprints to layout the main shape of the body and wings, but they were so far from the x-wings in the films i just gave up on them and modelled alot without them.

I think i may have to model a tie fighter and death star once i've finished with this.

sweet, I really like it!

but where's R2D2!

He'll be there but i didn't want to model him as part of the ship. He'll be complete and able to get in and out. :)

Did a bit more today. Shouldn't be long before i can start the tie fighter.

Ahh ... this model is giving me Star Wars Action Figure flashbacks!

I miss my old X-Wing and my little Luke lookin' like George Bush Junior in his little flightsuit ... I miss my little orange suited Luke:cry:

Can't wait to see R2! ... how I miss him ...

Nice start. Use lots of references. This site has some really good photos of the XWing in the Smithsonian exhibition. Scroll down a little until you see the REBEL XWING FIGHTER.

Hope that helps. :D
