Modeling Jay's Concept "Freighter"
Not really much to crit at the moment.. i know the normals are screwed, wasnt really worried about that as i'll most likely model totally new geometry over the top of this when i get into it better..But, for the hell of it here it is..
Lemme know waht you think...
and Jay, if i'm getting anythign wrong with the basic concept..nows the time to tell me..LoL..
Heres Jay's concept..
Screens to follow

I have to stick up for myself as an amateur. While doing the haunted house tutorial I saved after just about everything time consuming... although I'm sure if I was more experienced it wouldn't be as time consuming as it was for meOriginally posted by legendofzombi
Omg i just made a stupid amature mistake..>.<

Edit: And like stated above, it's a shame because it was looking pretty good.

Its getting its 'duuuuuuude' factor now for sure. Im liking it.
I always get concerned with models when I begin them, always wondering whether or not it will turn out as good as the concept drawing. This works.
My only little, itty-bitty gripe is the poly that needs a tweak on the top front of the hull. I think it should follow the shape up and over in an arc.
G: have a field day man, add more detail as you see fit
Cheers
Jay

Have attached this with what I mean. Also where the arrows are pointing at the edge of the hull add two more rows of loops for a harder edge around the outside.
Best
Jay
