Title: something new... (WIP)
Post by: nobbit on August 18, 2007, 12:25:02 pm
Hey there,

After my first 3d steps in Google Sketchup (Remember my bulk frighter concept) i began to experiment a little bit with Blender. And i have tryed something simple to make a new contribution and so i decide to make the XWA Cargo-Ferry and try as a second one the Heavy Lifter. But i'm new to Blender and i miss practice (especially in adding different meshes together :rolleyes:) so can someone help me to make a few more details, nice engines and a few guns for it?
But now what do you think about it?

It looks very nice. The wings are different from the TG model, but it indeed looks better.

A very nice contribution indeed.

Tempest can probably add more detail to it.  Brand-X can too, but he's busy building his Star Destroyer toys  :D Turambar can help as well.

Ah. I was going to do this one eventually. You've done a good job with the mesh, but I think the little grooves on the sides might be excessive. Send me the model and I'll greeb it right up for ya. I did the same thing for the muurian transport.

Then, I can make a new "freighters" topic. (There's another one in development as we speak).

You can catch me in our IRC channel or PM me.

Pretty good, pretty good.

Double compliments because you're a beginner modeler, at least this is what your first two sentences suggest to me.
