No problem in the conversion; MAX can convert to the STL format. I’ve already sent an example to my friend, my Strakha model. My definition of expensive should be clarified as soon as my friend studies the model. Also, this technique doesn’t involve a mould, it’s called stereolithography (I...

He replied. I’m afraid the news aren’t very good. It seems it would be possible although there could be some problems with very thin parts; those wings in the Rapier could be a problem (if it’s a small model). Therefore, in my opinion and as I said before, it should be chosen something like...

Well, having a beautiful plastic model of a WC ship would certainly be very nice. So, I have just sent a mail to a friend that works in rapid prototyping. When he replies I’ll be able to tell you if it’s possible and how munch it would cost. Obviously that geometry issues and size are...

Sorry guys, it wasn’t A.C.E., it’s name was Advanced Computer Entertainment and it wasn't French.

You are wrong. I have bought WC2 here at Braga. :)

Beautiful model, it looks really solid. How do you give the look it has before the textures?

Wing Leader Back in 1990 I was 15 years old and used to buy a French magazine called A.C.E., one day there was this article about an upcoming game called Wing Leader that would be fantastic, as they said. It was stated that it could be compared with movies like Star Wars or The Last StarFighter...

It seems to me that #1 is the winner. Being that way why don’t you start to work on it so that we can see some progress in the time to come? Like that you would show everybody that you’re seriously committed. It’s just a suggestion. :)

Looks great, I like it a lot. It would be great if you could do an animation with the FD rotating.

@zohrath_1 I’ve tried the sphere and the FFD 4x4x4 modifier and I’m very satisfied with the results. :D I was very surprised how easy it can be obtained a rounded body and with so much control over its form. When the model progress a little more I’ll put some images here. Thanks again.

First, I hope you are serious about this. Second, if so, I vote for the short animated series in 3d Studio Max. Third, good luck.

No, I don’t. But if I get some free time this weekend I’ll try to see how it works. Thanks again.

Now that’s an approach I didn’t think of. I’ll try it if I get trouble with this new model. But tell me, isn’t it confusing starting from a sphere? I mean, all those vertices in a rounded shape. It’s funny, as I think about it I’m realising that you are completely right, a sphere should be...

Well, I tried that, as suggested by lorddarthvik, but I didn’t get the desired results because of the way my model has been done. I’ve made a lot of mistakes. That’s why after some observation and time I decided to start over again. This time I started from a spline instead of a box, like that...

Your story is fantastic (I’m repeating myself); it has become a habit to check if there is an update every time I can. You are going to university, that’s good, but please, whenever it’s possible, continue Front Lines.

Fillet command found, at least in Max 6, but only when using splines. You can use the fillet command in two ways, with a numeric value (like CAD) or adjusting with the mouse. I think the guys at Discreet should implement this command in the polygons as well. Maybe Max 7 has it.

Nice model. I like the look of it.

@lorddarthvik Thanks for clarifying about the fillet subject. It makes sense your assumption that, being a Polygon based modelling program, Max shouldn’t have such command. I’ve never used AutoCAD for 3D,only for 2D, but Solid Works is a great 3D program that works with geometric design just...

Your story is 5 stars. Really, it’s great. The inclusion of the bar scene between the great attack to the Kilrathi fleet was formidable. And honestly, I was starting to believe that Deathfang was unbeatable. Fortunately he wasn’t. :) Your story is truly inspiring, keep up the good work.
