Jay, those holes at the rear of the wings will hopefully make more sense in the final design but i agree if i cant utilize them correctly i may close them up. They are supposed to be engines.

My plans for the final design is a somewhat solid body with most items mounted to it. I hope the final looks like it does in my mind.

Added a little more detail and fleshed it out. Cleaned the mesh up significantly. Tweaking some more then to the small details.

Looks nice mate...what happened to the pods? they just hidden?

cheers bullet

twisteddragon33 13-02-2011 03:19 PM

pods will be in the final. still tweaking them at the moment. Im not sure if i like the front intake... I may be getting rid of it or redesigning it. Any ideas?

Looks great twisteddragon. It seems to have a starwars flavor to it. Are you using references from it?

twisteddragon33 13-02-2011 10:18 PM

It does look like starwars to me too, but im not using any references anymore. My original references were for a hove rbike idea that i scrapped so im just going off random sketches ive been doing.

I decided to do away with the intake on the front. it looked like a giant bugle or something so i took it out. Added some detail to the wings.

I want to make the vehicle look like a giant three pronged flying blade like a sai or a trident. So im trying for a sharp, blade like feeling over the whole thing.

Well it does look like the pitchfork I bought yesterday...though it looks a whole lot deadlier mate...looking nice shapewise..it certainly looks 'sharper' without the scoop I agree.

I liked the previous design better twisteddragon. It had a X-wing/ Jedi star fighter feel to it, but you went and changed it...............

twisteddragon33 14-02-2011 05:51 PM

I agree it had more of a starwars feel to it, but i wanted a Speed feel to it. I rarely got the sense of speed in starwars(with the exception of speeder bikes of course).

I may go back and modify the nose again but for now its good.

Changed some of the design a bit, shortened the main body a bit and incorperated the engine inside the body. Changed the shape of the wing blades a little but those may be tweaked more.


I want more detail on the wings im just not sure what to do with them...
