Jr.Who - W.I.P. - Spitfire Plane
1 Attachment(s)
Hey guys,
Time for another W.I.P.! I've been working on this one for a couple of days (on and off). I was going to post this up yesterday, but it was my birthday. Anyway, after I texture this, I'm going to take a stab at compositing, and possibly some animation with compositing. Like usual, I’m just going to put up screen grabs, but when I get to texturing, I’ll be doing some good renders. -Jr.Who :beer: |

And 5 days. I think I've spent about 3 hours on this. I'm hoping that I get some more work finished later today.
|
very nice, i like where this is heading :)

Thanks, AikoWorld.
I'm getting a little worried about the mesh, though. It doesn't seem to want to cooperate as much as I thought it would. Anyway, the poly count is 2,782 faces in this pic. |
nice job jr who :beer:
what problems are you having with the mesh? |

Mostly around the front where the pipe things are. I'm trying to square off the box that they are in, but it makes hard edges on the rest of the plane, too. |
have you used soft/harden edge function in the normals tab?
Or is it not i poly, i cant really tell from the images. If it is nurbs then im of no use to you :) |
hmm - if your're using polys than I would wait until you have the model finished and then use the soften harden tool to go back over your model to decide where you want soft or hard edges.
if it's nurbs, than i'm not sure... |
arran a question for you what reason is it to wait till the model is finished before soften harden tool?
cuz i use it allot and i think i have used it while modelling. thx |
For a real quality polymodel all edges should be soft. The "hard" edges should appear because of beveling. Hard/soft edges are mostly for low polygon modeling.

thx for you guys`s insight about soften harden :) thx!

Thanks for the tips, guys. I'll try them next time I get into Maya.
BTW, it isn't NURBS, it's just polygons with the 3 key pressed in '08. I love this, because haven't used sub'ds in so long. :D |
Looking good JR. Yeah getting tight corners in a curved section of a polymodel can be a real pain.
I don't really have any method that I can suggest. The only thing I have done that can sometimes work is to try and cut the section out to localize the edge flow. In some cases that works well and adds some realistic sections with panel lines. But Iam not sure it would work well for this section of the SF. |
