It's still very basic. But keep trying, and eventually you wil make nicer meshes.

I think that it could become a cool missile.

Actually, I was thinking of something more like a cross between a Trebuchet and a Stiletto.

Interesting, but get rid of the prongs, make the entire body fatter and taller, and add more detail. :)

I think adding a single cone to the head of the missile would make it look like ten times better. The back part is perfect but the wings also need some adjustments. Maybe scaling them would help.
Title: My new WIP
Post by: pecenipicek on December 20, 2004, 12:35:29 pm
i know... im not too keen on the wings... ill render up another mess soon... currently im readin HLP and then im off to test 1 mission and perhaps then will i be able to do soe more work..

ill enlarge the wings and stretch em a litle bit...
umm...yeah do you think i should add spikes to the wings?
Title: My new WIP
Post by: pecenipicek on December 20, 2004, 02:27:52 pm
UPDATE: remade he wings... added more wings, errm... added something that looks like a cone and decided not to part with engines...

Is this gonna be a missile or a ship?  If the former, I'd advise rearanging the forward fins so that they are in "+" configuration, while the rear ones are in "X" configuration.  I'd also suggest that the front ones be reduced in size to about half of the rear set.  I'd also blunt off the tip of that cone front somewhat.

Those fins just look weird to me.

Post by: TopAce on December 21, 2004, 04:51:40 am
Good, it's a Stiletto III now. :yes:
Title: My new WIP
Post by: pecenipicek on December 21, 2004, 08:29:34 am
well... i dunno... probably a ship... but if it gets to be a missile :drevil:...
now people tell me what to put on the ends of the fins?(AKA wings)
Title: My new WIP
Post by: pecenipicek on December 21, 2004, 10:37:33 am

Shivan-like missile. I don't like the back part though, why is it pointing upwards?
Title: My new WIP
Post by: c914 on December 21, 2004, 11:49:59 am

Boy you're a rude little newbie.

Anyway, it needs to have SOME form to be an arm of a mech, not some pointy-pointed-pointer-point thingy.
Title: My new WIP
Post by: aldo_14 on December 21, 2004, 02:47:21 pm
Looks like a bit of a morass, in all honesty.
Title: My new WIP
Post by: Japong on December 21, 2004, 02:57:26 pm
Yeah, I'm usually supportive of fan efforts... but that thing just looks like a bent over tree - and your attitude really isn't improving my opinion of it.

As for "arm of a mech" - look, this entire process works better if you figure out what you're making first, THEN go about modeling it. Try sketching out what you want to make, and then following that. Hoping your 3D art happens to look like something will usually net you sub-par reults.

When i make 3d models i lay out space for all the internal components first, calculating precisly. So all my models are realistic.
Title: My new WIP
Post by: Unknown Target on December 21, 2004, 05:22:30 pm
I draw my models out to get a rough shape, and just translate that shape into 3D in my head.
Title: My new WIP
Post by: pecenipicek on December 22, 2004, 12:11:11 pm
i make things on the fly... thats my way and there is no other.
unless you want to make me a modron...
and i didnt specifically precise what its going to be...
you people just assumed that it would be a rocket...
and i know that bent over look sucks... have to change it...
Title: My new WIP
Post by: Unknown Target on December 22, 2004, 01:07:39 pm
There is other ways, and other people use them.
Wtf is a modron?
 And you said it would first be a cruiser, then it would be the arm of a mech, now it's a gimped hedgehog dick.
Title: My new WIP
Post by: pecenipicek on December 22, 2004, 01:24:25 pm
i am not "other people". i am i.
if you dont know what a modron is play Planescape:Torment...
as i said i didnt decide yet what will it be...


mental note:actually that modron was a typo... i meant moron...

I have decided. it will be a MECH. not some wussy-ass mechwarrior style mech but something more along the lines of a Titan... ill b1tch around with other parts soon... goin off to make some legs :D
Title: My new WIP
Post by: Unknown Target on December 24, 2004, 10:04:23 am
Dude, it's a tube with SPIKES. Not a mech arm! You have to actually have some sort of form to call it a part of anything.
Title: My new WIP
Post by: pecenipicek on December 24, 2004, 10:44:47 am
what makes you think i can make all at once? it will have much more shape soon... if i get TS6.6 for x-mas ;D

this tube was made with 10 clicks at most :D
Title: My new WIP

Umm??

What are you on about?

Are you trying to say the tube was 10km long?
Title: My new WIP
Post by: Unknown Target on December 24, 2004, 03:47:50 pm
No, it took 10 clicks to make in the modeling program.

Whoop de ****ign doo, by the way.
Title: My new WIP
Post by: pecenipicek on December 24, 2004, 04:14:25 pm
10 clicks with a mouse in TS3.2...
why thank you UT...

that tube-like thing(w/o spikes) is going to be some sort of popup weapon much in the likes of the storm bolter in grey knights armour...
