Uh - right. That would be using a boolean to "refine" the mesh. AKA cutting the polies. Sorry bout any confusion. there is a bit of clean up required, though - nothing a quick "weld" session can't fix, though. after I get the shapes on the hull I want, I then extrude the panels. that way...

Niiice. This looks really sweet, Brad. You gonna do a full cockpit? :D Howie

I haven't a clue. I have yet to recieve a reply to any e-mail I've sent, and I've sent 3 of them. Howie

Well, I've finished the Intro - and I need a place to upload it to. It's 5.8 Megs, and has music and sound fx. All in all, I'm pretty pleased with it. Until I can get my website issues resolved, I'm going to be out of luck when it comes to posting anything. I've attached two screenshots...

Well, first of all, the Dralthi isn't finished yet. Still much more to do. :D Also , the first animation will most likely be the intro to WC1.... I have all the parts I'd need. And the Scimitar is most likely going to be next. Oh, and the engines allways showed blue except when they...

Well, I want to stick as close to the original as possible. So Engines = Blue. :D As for the question of the TC - I'll probably do it the best I can. Haven't screwed up much on these last two models, and I don't intend to start. :D Profile!! Howie

Yay. People like it. :D Anyhow, here're some more recent shots of the current progress. Also I've begun work on the aft portion of the fighter. Dang, this this is looking better and better. It's actually looking deadly now. Amazing. Howie

In fact I am planning on doing an animation with this. However, the exact scenario has not yet been determined. In order to do the WC1 Mission 1 I'd need the Tiger's claw, Scimitars, Hornets (done :), Dralthi, and Salthi. Along with a lot of time. So I doubt that will happen. Anyhow, it's all...

Little more work done on the cockpit - as well as some more accurate coloring. Howie

Okay - I started work on the cockpit - and I've been screwing around with the textures a bit.. Let me know what you think.

thanks. Howie

And the next shots....

I use 3dsMAx 4,5,and 6 (depending where I'm at, and what plugins I need to use). Photoshop for the textures. Well, I'm still working on the website problems - hopefully I'll have them resolved soon.

What you're looking for is Chamfer. go to edge select mode and select the edges you want to round off. Then find a tool called "Chamfer" usually in the edit geometry section of the Editable mesh modifier. click and drag until you get the rounding you want. Howie

OH, thought I might clarify - this is a Work in Progress - so there's a lot that's not in there yet. Tons, in fact. I'm considering putting a cat inside. right now it's just going to be the same as the Hornet - Full detail Exterior, Full Detail Interior. Howie

yeah...sorry bout that Hornet thing - must be force of habit. Perhaps a MOD could fix it for me? I can't seem to do it. Anyhow - here's the engine thing I was talking about - seems that my webserver->DNS is down for a bit. Enjoy

Well, guys. You knew it was coming. When I first roughed out the shape I was sure it was one of the dumbest looking fighters I'd ever seen. Now it's starting to grow on me... Here you go... Things are moving along nicely. I need some feedback on the Dralthi's engine colors. Right...

oops. never mind. Howie

Oh, it's not a problem. I was just a little surprised that anyone could get "David" from "Howie"... Cam: Florence? Italy? Or Oregon? :D keep in mind - those mounts are exactly what the blueprints show to be there...so I kinda understand. Lotsa stuff in the blueprints doesn't make any sense...

Oh. My bad. The Cockpit views. I know there are a lot of them, but I'd love to host them on my site.
