thats not bad at all

[ShadowWolf_IH]

no, you shouldn't..a little thinner though

[Thorn]

Its your mesh. Do whatever you want with it. Make your own version of the X-Wing! Its called "Artistic Liscense"

On an unrelated note, I have the best looking three project badges on the forum!

I prefer mine. They are such rare a combination and spring to the eye, I can find my posts without actually reading the names of the posters. Just scroll until the known colour combination comes up.

Although I won't deny my signature is also helping that fact.

Anyway, on the model: Try getting rid of the primitives, Cobra.

You may live to regret that, especially when you see my latest WIP lol.

[Cobra]

what? what are the primitives?

[aldo_14]

Primitives = boxes, prisms, etc.  I.e. basic / simple geometric objects.  

For example,  if you have a box for a body, a thin flat box for a wing, a cylinder for a gun barrel etc.

  What you actually want, is all those to be part of the same single object, and usually to be created by extruding faces. (or welding existing objects together, but that's a little more technically complex).

[Cobra]

BTW, if i try to thin out anything on this model, it'll screw up the whole thing.

this is what happens when i have a lot of free time. now, all someone needs to teach me is how to unwrap it and make hi-poly models.

and thorn, how can I create my own x-wing? besides making it hi-poly, which i can't do yet.

i actually did extrude on the engines, guns, and fuselage.

Can I see the dxf file?

[MetalDestroyer]

I don't know if is it good or not, but i have some problem with glueing several objects, they seems to be not very well included eachother. How to cut the noise from my X wing ?
I want to delete the edge of the noise to make something more like the x wing. Here the model i've done with Ts 3.2.

[Taristin]

I don't understand what you're asking. You want to cut the nose off of that mesh?

Also, gluing several objects together isn't the best way to make a model. It's inefficient, and, though I hate to say it, shows a great lack of skill.

[MetalDestroyer]

I know, i'm just beginning using Ts 3.2.
When i said cut the noid, i mean to cut a part of the noise of the x wing. So, after cutting, The x wing don't have a pyramid form in the edge of the noise.

I hope you'll understand what i mean

I thought you had Max?

What I'm saying is, you dont have to make it exactly like the movies. You can make the wings longer, change the guns, do whatever you want to it.

I have ^^ but i want to pratice some time with Truespace ^^

Now, i make the model with only one cube and I use extrusion when needed. But, I got this :


Why have i those little space between extrusion ??

So, the render looks like to this :

[Cobra]

yeah, but i just wanted to make it actually look like a decent x-wing.

aldo, gimme a minute... okay, here's the DXF

btw metal, use blender. I swear by it, and look where it's got me.

[EDIT] those spaces are probably a graphical error.

[Taristin]

Bah, use neither. Use MAX!

Give link

[Cobra]

hmmm. Blender

BTW raa, Max sucks. blender is easy to use.
