Hangar 9 Tribute 36

[opjose]

Looking good.

 

[abaser]

Thanks.

 

[abaser]

A little work on the control rods and servos.

 

[Madratter]

Complete with the curve in the control rod. Fancy!

 

[abaser]

Thanks. That one cost me. I don't remember the exact count, but I think each rod is around 600 polys. There's one on each side.

 

[abaser]

18038 polys. Now to remap.

 

[jeffpn]

Modeled ribs, eh? Let's see a wireframe!

 

[abaser]

Here ya go.

 

[jeffpn]

I gotta hand it to you - that's quite an effect!!

 

[jeffpn]

Now switch back to rendered view and hit 'w!'

 

[abaser]

Thanks. I like it when I have the polys. I just hope to have enough to finish the control surfaces.

 

[abaser]

Better?

 

[jeffpn]

Beautiful!

 

[abaser]

All surfaces with ribs modeled. 18,236 polys. Only thing left is the C mesh.

 

[Flare]

What's the line across the center of the fuselage from front to back for?

 

[abaser]

Center line of the fuse. I only model half of a plane. Cutting the model on the center line and mirroring it saves a lot of time and insures symmetry.

 

[abaser]

Probably my most complex coll mesh yet.

Time to remap everything and its off to max for pivots and parenting.

 

[abaser]

I've got this one in max, and plan on having it in RF by tonight. Anyone up for physics?

 

[abaser]

She's into RF, and I guess Im going to give the physics a try myself after adjusting materials and such.

I'm also pleased to report that there were no complications mesh wise in the process of getting to this point.

 

[jeffpn]

Looks real good Andy!
