Frosty Posted November 30, 2015 Author Posted November 30, 2015 it is always this tear jerking-ly frustrating at the beginning [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "If the MWS didn't see it. it never happened"
joey45 Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 What reference photos are you using? The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Frosty Posted November 30, 2015 Author Posted November 30, 2015 nothing wrong with the reference. just that i've never even modeled a pot before let alone an entire aircraft. atm ive having problems with the way the fusarlarge turns from a chamfered box to a circle. i also cant figure out how to chamfer.

Vinc_Vega Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) Hi Frosty, ... i also cant figure out how to chamfer. look here: [ame] [/ame] 3ds Max is really a mighty piece of software. You should do a few tutorials to learn how to use it. Here is a good one for modeling airplanes, including the texturing work: http://www.pxleyes.com/tutorial/3ds-max/2662/How-To-Model-a-Mig-29-UB-Fighter-Jet.html Edited November 30, 2015 by Vinc_Vega Regards, Vinc real life: Royal Bavarian Airforce online: VJS-GermanKnights.de [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Discus177 Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Frosty. Get a front and rear photo view roughly of the same scale. Form a 36 point cylinder. And shape from the nose. Duplicate. Then modify. So forth. Until you have a sectional diagram. Then bridge edges from there. Reset smooth groups and then see where you need to improve. Do you know what i mean or do you require me to make an image for you?
Frosty Posted December 1, 2015 Author Posted December 1, 2015 Thanks Vince, I'll watch the others and then see if I can't do it then [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "If the MWS didn't see it. it never happened"
Frosty Posted December 1, 2015 Author Posted December 1, 2015 i put this turbo smooth to good use today. also who else is super hype for the F-14 :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "If the MWS didn't see it. it never happened"
Frosty Posted December 2, 2015 Author Posted December 2, 2015 i'm getting a strange pinch on my turbo smooth. and i cant figure it out. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "If the MWS didn't see it. it never happened"
Discus177 Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Turbosmooth is only as good as the base mesh. With Turbosmooth the closer you have edge loops to eachother. The more defined the line or crease will become.
Frosty Posted December 2, 2015 Author Posted December 2, 2015 But you can see it's ****ed at points for no reason. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "If the MWS didn't see it. it never happened"
Fracture Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Check for duplicate verts\extra edges. (usual cause of pinching)
Discus177 Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Frosty. There is always a reason. Not going to waste my time trying to help you from here forward. Goodluck.
Frosty Posted December 3, 2015 Author Posted December 3, 2015 so ive sorted out the pinching. changed the cockpit curve and almost completed the right wing root [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "If the MWS didn't see it. it never happened"
Frosty Posted December 4, 2015 Author Posted December 4, 2015 what a ride we've had ups and downs. but damn. its been worth it. just a few things left to do. if you count finalising, modelling landing gear and texturing as a hand full of stuff . haha lots of thanks to all that helped [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "If the MWS didn't see it. it never happened"
