Thanks for the link. Loads of images to help. Here's a small update. I've haven't done much maya this week as to too much garage band at college ment i've had to do a whole project this week.

The X-Wing is hasn't got that much left to do so i've started R2 and the Darth Tie.

Never been a great SW fan, but that looks verry good! Keep it up!

nice ship dude! altho I would try to make it more dirtier unless this ship is not that way than I said nothing :speechles :p

Yeah i've still got a fair bit of texturing left to do on the X-Wing (including more dirt), i just wanted to get the darth tie in there.

While i've been away it's flown through a dirty bit of space had a battle and lost R2 (for now). Darth Tie's looking more complete aswell. :D

Looking really good!:tup:

im an (almost) complete Newbie, just wondering... How did you start it off ? Was it through a Box then Extruding face's ? Also the tie fighter has alot of (what looks like extruded faces) how do you start them off (ie get the correct shape for extruding) or is this simply done with extruding tool too ?

Sorry if im asking too many questions :rolleyes:

Looks fantastic!

Yeah the x-wing was made by creating a cube, splitting it up and then extruding faces until i get the shape i want. The body was then converted to sub-d.

I've got another update that i'll upload in the morning.

Lot's of split poly tool.

Cheers mate ! again great work !

another update and R2 is back.

thats the shizznit :tup:

very nice...impressive details on the texturing

I think they would look cool on a starfield background, maybe a couple of distant planets and some motion blur to give the illusion of a speedy dogfight...

The idea is to have them flying down one of the channels on the death star.
