Right: I've always enjoyed modelling, and haven't let not being very good at it put me off. It's all got hard edges, so you can see some idea of the polies. That's the chassis of the plane without weapons, and now I'd like some community input: should it have missile launchers (if so, I think I'd mount them inside, and have them pointing out of the side), or cannons mounted on the base. I'm going to add a bulge about half way along, to represent vtol Jets, and squarish jets on each wing, near the body. It will be coloured black, with a gold glass cockipt covering almost the whole front, except for a cross bar. The double back fins, are meant to be similar to those on megels. So give me your input but please don't be too harsh!
It's a dildo with wings. It's going to look dull whatever you do with it, you need a more iconic base design.
While I agree with the dildo with wings comment, thats exactly the modeling style that is needed. I guess if you up the poly count a bit (Not overly extreme and make it too smooth, but, a bit more than that.) it would look better, however, it looks too civilian to be a military bomber.
Well it's not that it's a bad model as much as it looks like a 747 with the wings off a much smaller jet stuck on the side. It doesn't look interesting, it's the modelled equivalent of the two bits of wood with a nail in the middle which is what children invariably make when you tell them to make a plane out of wood. There's plenty of interesting shapes you could do which keep the conventional technology feel to them but perhaps approach it from a different way, such as putting swing-engines on the side of the craft and perhaps a different wing shape, as well as incorporating the wings and body more smoothly.
Yeah: the wing body transition did sort of shit up, frankly. Fiddling with it couldn't make it work, so I'm gooing down a different route for thee next one. I think it would look better with engines, but cba to make it work. It does also look a bit better with smoothing on, but meh.
HL2 can use smoothing can't it? I don't think there's anything wrong with smoothing if you use it properly.
Yeah I would have to agree there that it certainly looks the best made of any of the ones I've seen thus far, looks like how I got taught to do it.
