Rodavan

Nice work

DAT - sweet Thanks WOZ wongster - all three of my models above are , nurbs models (surfaces) , not polys , I will make them poly's before rendering them in Maxon . The idea is 2 later use a 3D printer or CAM to make "real" models from these. U can use polygons , but smoothness is a problem . I will add a example of a old model that the guys here have seen many ,many times , but to get that kind of smoothness , the poly count is huge , while a nurbs model is much smaller in size .... promethuem5 - I think he meant orthographic views or plan views

This thread rocks mechaninac - excelent , show us more . Don't have info on the Destroid , try AlphaHX wongster - Not bad , turn the Gunpod so we can see more profile , which back ground are u using for the HDRI ? DAT - Sorry , I feel the same ,when I see the yours and other people stuff . Your valk has only been redone 3 times , try 5 .... Couldnot sleep last night but ....

Ceil - welcome , very difficult answer , every person models differently and it depends on the tools you have. I use Rhino , Solid Edge and Maxon .......trying to learn Maya and it's taking forever . I Try and break down the model into basic 3D shapes , I decide which will have the biggest effect on the model and start with that , then start to build around it. Not sure that helps , but the one thing I know is .... practise , practise , practise and some more practise . This is a UUM-7 ( Big square , missle box) , took 2 1/2 hours , used Solid Edge to create a parametric model ( dimension driven )

Thanks guys DAT - Mechanical engineer turned IT consultant/contractor. (Selling my skills to highest bidder) If somebody from Hase is reading this ...... Brianw76 - Good to hear from u , how's that VF0 doing ?

The_WOZ - Excelent modeling , I like those hands DAT - the bump mapping looking very cool I been busy with creating fast packs for my VF-1 , so here is the first try...

Thanks for all the comments - guys ! At least I gave some of u a chuckle -- I think I will go with second one for the moment and keep the eye balls, it's funny. I must still find a way to get the name "Rodavan" clearer so ..... I am also working on a 3D version of a knight's helm , maybe when I finished with the vf-1 fast packs I will restart on the heml. And so just for

Thanks DAT I not sure what angle would look better so ....

Some one said , you better get a logo to identify your stuff. So , this is round 1 What do you think ???? Any ideas

Dat - excelent typhoon-2000 - nice model , it's a bit dark

thanks guys ! Doc - I forgot ...those control surfaces looks cool The_WOZ - great job , lots of detail Datterboy - excelent , show us more , I will restart on weathering once I have all the colour scheme down. Gammera - Thanks , a milla & max combo is great idea.

Had some problems trying to light up the underside of the valk, I decided to try for a " Valk on a light table" look , I think it needs more work ............

Thanks , now I need to get the numbers right and then it's ready for final render. The next colour scheme is either Max & Milla( Re & Blue) or Angle Birds .

Thor -- Try Rhino , has as mesh to nurbs converter

I tried a cannon fodder : http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...ic=50&st=1100

2nd render of Cannon fodder or "hershy" valk What colours helmets would pilots in the CF valk wear ?

excelent model

I love Rhino v3 and use the basic rendering but use Cinema 4D for final renders and ploygon modelling. Cobywan - awsome model

Thanks Gammera I will change the "shinyness" , but is a cannon fodder brown or more orange ? I will do a render a post later

Fisrt atempt @ connan fodder colour scheme

Nice Job in the schemes , AlphaHX One day I will finish a VF-19

Thanks guys THOR - Yup it's 3D Model done with Rhino for modeling and Cinema 4D for rendering. jadefalconguard - I can give the pantone colours --no FS , but the colours are taken from pictures on the net and blended . AlphaHX - Nice work on that VF-19 There was a scan of the hase VF-1S sometime ago , I would like to add some fast packs to this valk . Can anybody help ?

Thanks guys

Neova - If the guys can supply me with good refrence material , and a bit of time ....I will could give it a bash.

I have been playing with low vis colours on a old cg model , and wanted to see what a model kit would look like in my low vis scheme It didn't look to bad ...... Any suggestions or comments let me know
