As I said some time ago, at university I'm learning to use SolidEdge, a 3D modelling program for "technical" drawings (airplane parts, in my case).

One day, I made this:

What do you think?

BTW, in january I'll take a CATIA course... For those who don't know, CATIA is a 3D modelling program developed by Dassault for designing the Mirage family of fighters, now widely used in the aerospace industry. With that program...

Nice detail but not extremely great. IMO.

The doors and windows are nice, but theres somthing a bit strange about the front and the tires

It is not in perspective mode.

Stubby.

[Hades]

It is not in perspective mode.(This is the Reason why)

Here it is in perspective mode:


BTW, SolidEdge is a PITA when trying to model curved surfaces, so I had to overcome this problem using only flat surfaces This may be why it looks so stubby. And that's why I'll be taking a CATIA course, unless I design squarish airplanes

Not bad - it looks a lot like someone third or so model with Sketchup

Well... I think SolidEdge can be considered like an extended SketchUp... 90% of the modelling is based on drawing sketches and protruding them. My previous SketchUp experience has been very useful when I started learning SolidEdge.

This model is incredibly old...why are you posting it now?!?

[Unknown Target]

Huh?

And Sysko, in regards to advanced techniques with the Sketchup system, might I suggest extrusion modeling and manual stitching together of curves and whatnot. There's a plugin that'll do the latter for you, but once it stitches the curves together, they become exploded and cant be stitched to any other curves unless you do it manually.
