woohoo go KB

this looks awesome :) just the thing for a newbie to get thier feet wet into the various arts of Maya.
You are the man KB !!!!!!

Yep, this is definitely going to be a fun one. Excellent work, K!

Thanks guys. I'm gonna be pretty busy finishing this one off. Still got lots to model (main rotor, interior of the cockpit, chain gun plus some small bits here and there...). After that it's time for some serious UV pulling ;)

Awesome!!! I am very exited for this one, the model looks great so far!!

updated with new images :)

Very cool!! it won't be free I think :rolleyes:

looks just like my model version which i never quite finished :P

Hehheh... this is actually mainly based on a plastic model which i bought and built :)

Ohhhh i will have to live of TOP Ramen nuddles for weeks when that tutorial comes out, so i can buy points :)

Looks awesome, i especially like the fact it will go through the whole process on how to texture and rig as well.Can't wait

Nox

top ramen is top stuff! :D

I lived of it for 3 years while in school :)

another update - cockpit :)

Just to keep you guys up to date:

The modeling is just about finished, will be around 33 parts long and around 30 / 40 mins a part

so 22 hrs of modeling!

It will go on release with a bit of luck from next week!

The detail is incredible, wow.:eek: cant wait to get it..

oooo I need a credit/debt card so I can get some points!! :( Atleast Ill be busy with the DVD untill I can get this tutorial :D

DSA

go check it out guys

final renders up from the modeling stage :)

If i were to wait for ALL the parts of the tutorial to be released, how much would i be looking at for it to be added to custom CD.

All 25 odd parts should go up at the same time. We're playing with the idea of a discount system if you take them all.

Basically your looking at 13 hours start to finish hard surface modeling tutorial for around £55 pounds, not sure how much we will knock of for the discount. I must be mental for even considering the discount lol I'm paying considerably more then £55 quid for it and i don't even use Maya :D

Stay tuned.

David :)

Well, with my 80-odd points i now have a reason to use them :D

Thanks for the info. :) Is the modelling part 25 in parts, or is 25 include anim/txt/comp etc

The apache modeling is now complete, here is the specs:

33 parts at 17HR 51 MINS.

The 33 parts just cover modeling

good lord :| are they 2-point parts or 3-point parts? cos if they're 3-point i cant afford it :'(

a bit of both "z" but we are offering a special deal on the whole package!

if it costs more than 84 points i'm gonna be pissed :P

I spent less on the DVD and i got a DVD AND a sexy case

let's hear the special offer first.... ;)

Right heres the deal

Its 17:43:28 in length

The whole lot works out at 72 points, this is with the parts 35 mins and over being 3 points, below that being 2 points.

But we will do a special on the whole lot for 55 points!

This is only of course if you commit to the whole tutorial and not have 3 or 4 bits then say "I want it all now for the offer"

There will be a "special offer" button that will add every section to your account and take the 55 points :)

so hows that? thats about £3 an Hour! cant say fairer then that.

:D.....and can you remind us the cost of custom CD's/delivery etc. Thanks

guys the apache tutorial is being encoded, its over 17 hrs so with 4 passes on each section its taking some time. Will be up asap

Many thanks

kevin
