Lanier Shrike

[a4magic]

ok so i think i have everything renamed right (so far)

 

[jeffpn]

Or not. You are confusing material names with object names.

 

[a4magic]

than what should the canopy be called?

 

[a4magic]

with the wing it actually is starting to look like a shrike!

 

[jeffpn]

than what should the canopy be called?

Okay, you got me on that one. If that long name is what you want to call your canopy, it will work.

NO i meant what is the propoer name

 

[jeffpn]

Whatever you want it to be. My canopy is usually combined with the fuselage, so it wouldn't have it's own name.

And great job!

 

[a4magic]

just detail and control surfaces left and then mapping!

 

[a4magic]

Left aileron done

 

[jeffpn]

Wouldn't that mean the right aileron is done?

Brian, it is a waste of time to put the ~CS_ symbles in Wings. Wate untill you are in Max, then C/P them there.
If the power supply is fuel burning, the name is ENGINE, if it is electrict, the name is MOTOR. Those names are what RF will look for.
If you have the Canopy as a septrate object, then call it CANOPY, however, if it is extruded and not loop cut off, it would not have a seperate name.

no the right side of the pans had a wrinkel so i build from the left over and it is the left from the bac kpoint of veiw. Flex i dont have max but i do have blender. still wouldnt the objects keep thier names?
ps i did combine the fuse and canopy

 

[a4magic]

added a little more detail and finnished surfaces

 

[flexible]

Because of Combineing and Seperateing in Wings, it is just less trouble, to wate on the ~CS_, as it has no bearing in Wings. You don't need it untill you go to export the Kex

Has anyone mentioned that the model is modeled backwards on the Z axis? Other than that it looks like it's shaping up pretty good for your first one.

 

[abaser]

Good catch pplace

So the dark blue line should be to the back, right?

 

[jeffpn]

Point your plane nose first to the lower left corner. The blue arrow down there should point back to the plane.

 

[a4magic]

somthing flex dosent go over in his mapping tutorials. can you close the page with all the letters?

 

[jeffpn]

You mean if you're not done, and you want to quit for a while? Yes. You can call it back up under the Window column.
