Strikemax, your topology and smoothness are outstanding, great modeling :)

yeah, also carry same nickname.

I completely cannot understand the naive and ignorant posts being posted here. The number one reason to switch to these boards for me was the higher quality of the boards, but my jaw keeps on dropping and dropping. Luckily i can grab beer with friends in a hour and keep my gf warm later. Seriously, there is a big difference between positive critisim and just being a total swashbuckling pirate. Turn of your computer, and spend some quality time with loved ones.

Thanks :) am i correct when i say the rear landing gear wheels rotate independantly inwards according to the point where the wheels connect? <-- When the gear is "going up".

Dude, look at my nickname. I got an msn but i rarely are online. http://www.3dfreakz.net/forums/ is a good dutch resource, i am sure there are now more dutch 3d communities.

Calm down.

True, but the statement of a person saying "i cant draw shit" is nonsense, if you can write, you can draw :) , although drawing takes practice it isnt impossible.

Where? Guys, there should be more important things to worry about. Although i also look forward to the release, lets all pray for the sick pigeon in my backyard.

I started when i was ~13 years old, max 2.5 (now we are at 7), i modelled some crap things, but after a while i got frustrated. A year later i bought a book and got hold of an new version, i started a Dutch 3d online community, and my skills grew. http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?t=21263 Is a big tutorials list. Also, modeling something according to some pictures is the same as drawing a portray of someone, although not entirely the same. The 3d package is just a tool, just like a pencil and a paper sheet.

Buy or loan a good 3dsmax book at your local library, you should look online for polymodelling tutorials, other techniques are also possible. http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?t=21263

Yeah, i always found the lightning and abomb effects in f22 lightning quite nice.

Because you definatelly need max for the reason being that ED wrote their exporter for it, you have only 1 option. I suggest you inform your school about purchasing max via an special "educational" license, which is significantly cheaper than the "normalk" license. IMHO gmax sux. It lacks all sorts of handy tools for tricky modeling "problems" you could encounter along the way. Although you could try out gmax. My understanding is that gmax and max use different "native file formats" so you cannot import your work into max after producing it on gmax.

Make the box the same size as the reference you are using.

Wow, very clean mesh you got there. :) What is your current polycount?

Because the current one *censored*? Message from moderator: watch your language!

Why isnt anyone redoing the tomcat?

Alright, bets are on.

Thanks :) Does anyone have a good video of the mig and or the mig engine with AB stabilizers in action, or any other moving parts? EDIT: http://img155.exs.cx/img155/4132/mig138df.jpg http://img155.exs.cx/img155/5098/mig143mj.jpg http://img152.exs.cx/img152/8289/mig150gm.jpg

You had me at 'road side safety'. :] A normal cap is sufficient to say the least. But real virtual pilots wear replica's or the real helmets, and sit in their handbuilt cocpits, with a stick between their legs that will make the real one cry.
