Very very nice, but why didn't you angle the flaps on the trailing edge of the wing to make the in line with the body and wind?

Mark · 26-12-2003, 09:02 PM

Beautiful as ever. I agree with Leovenous however that the flaps do look a little odd not being in line with the craft itself - especially when the elevators on the tail are square.

i like it allot

especialy the tail light

Odd design but nice work as usual, Craig!

Okay, I have reowrked those control surfaces:

I'll post a cockpit render in a while too.

Cheers!

Clearer view of the revised control surfaces. Some cockpit mods too, but they aren't so clear here.

Cheers!

Mark · 01-01-2004, 05:55 PM

Those control surfaces look much better now...

CAClark · 08-01-2004, 05:00 PM

Latest update folks, I've added panel lines (not going anywhere near LW's nasty bump mapping!)... props changed as well.

Cheers!

DigiMatt · 08-01-2004, 05:07 PM

just sooo damn good.. great work mate!

Mark · 08-01-2004, 05:40 PM

I'm assuming that you've modelled the panel lines in there then Craig. I'm curious - how did you go about adding them into the model - simply knifing along the panels or manually splitting polys or what?

CAClark · 09-01-2004, 12:08 AM

Yep, I did indeed. All I did was to make some boxes (mostly) laid out to form the latticework of panel lines (and a couple of tubular ones also for the rounded panels). The stencilled them in to the model assigning a temporary surface name. I then selected all those polys, and placed them in a seperate layer. As I had made all the panel lines to be a uniform width, I then vertibevelled in & down by HALF of that width (subsequently deleting the polys that remained selected).

Then it's a matter of cleaning up, welding all the points at the bottoms of the panel lines created, and other misc errors created by LW's sometimes disastrous boolean & stencil abilities!).

Hope that makes sense!

Cheers!

Certainly does. Many thanks.

I asked him the same question in his other thread and he didn't answer. I see how it is <sniff> rosebud gathering and all that. You'll tell Mark <sniffle>. Well, <sigh, sniff>. Woe is me, the nobody waver anyway. <honk> :o
