dawestsides Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Tumanski indeed! Are U planning to release that MiG-25 for LOFC?! As this is my first model,I didn't put any restriction on the polygons,so it's gonna be a high-poly model,thus unsuitable for games... :( But this is in my next to-do list.

joey45 Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 Whats the wireframe look like and the poly count? The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

samuel150892 Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 What is normally the best way of creating models? At the moment I am basically doing a flat poly and extruding it ect. The other method I know of but never used is creating a box and modifying it ect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiskeyJuliet Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 There's a shot of the wire in the animation :), smoothed poly count is a couple of hundred k. High res hehe. Extruding from a plane or a box doesn't really matter which in the end. IMO there's no such thing as "box" modelling or "plane" modelling - it's all polygon modelling at the end of the day :).

Grimes Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Plane and box modeling are very similar yes, however lately a 3rd form of modeling is becoming quite popular, and that is freeform modeling. Free form is used best in applications like zbrush and mudbox. However 3dmax just introduced some basic freeform modeling features to version 2010. Generally though freeform is ideally suited for making natural and organic shapes rather than the (usually) hard and defined edges of human engineering. So if you interested in more of a mechanical modeling stick with box and planar. The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

dawestsides Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I'm using box modelling mainly. Whats the wireframe look like and the poly count? A huge mess and a very high poly count. :doh: Even if the render looks ok for me,I think I have to review my model and refine it.

Grimes Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I suppose I could post this. T-62M It essentially was my first object that I created and went the whole way with UVW unwrapping and texturing. So it is far from perfect. It was originally created as part of my senior design project with intent to be used for DCS, but its missing a few things as I ran out of time for the school deadline. I recently went back and made a ton of fixes and improvements to the texture and the baked in AO pass. If Eagle still wants it let me know. The way I see it there are 2 options for what to do with the model. A. Do a complete re-texture/optimization/add new missing features (It doesn't have a Dshkm) so it all fits on a 2048x2048. Or B. Keep the main model as is, but put anything new onto a small secondary texture. The majority of the detail in the texture was created in Adobe Illustrator so its not exactly a ton of work to adjust the previous file to fit a new one (yay for vector graphics), but the grunge map and paint job were all done in Photoshop. In its current condition it has 20,395 tris. Wireframe 1 The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

Grimes Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 How do you do Canopys? Creating a simple box with subdivisions at least 3x3x3 and applying a turbosmooth can give decent results. Depending on the length and the shape needed add more subdivisions. Two iterations on the turbosmooth should be plenty to get a smooth looking shape out of it. But you may want to go back in and optimize the model some more by removing unneeded edge loops. The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

dawestsides Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Ok my 2 months vacation is over now,so I'm back to duty.I think I got the canopy shape right now,C&C's are most welcome: Not completed but so massive.Some people look at the Foxbat as an ugly thing,but for me it's the jet fighter by excellence... Remaining some details here and there,then my first 3D model will be completed.Have to study again,this time texturing! 1 [/url]My MAKS 2015 Pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asparagin Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Hi dawestsides, could you post some wires, so we can also learn something? Keep up the good work.

dawestsides Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 (edited) Thanks asparagin. Here you are! You can guess which parts have been done separately:wings,control surfaces,nose,canopy glass,... As you can see the polycount is already very high,mainly because of the exhaust nozzles details,but as this is my first model,I'm not bothering myself with it.Next model will be cleaner I hope.

Grimes Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I really like going back to older/horrible/unoptimized models and reworking them. You'd be surprised how much fun and challenging it is to perfect something like that. A friend of mine even gave me a horrible made model of his to see what all I could do with it. He built it on the school of thought of turbosmooth, so his base geometry has horrible to begin with and the turbosmoothed geometry was overkill. Here is a sample of my reworking the model. Mine is on the left, his is on the right. My poly count was at least 1/4 of what he had. The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.
