Cobra, if succeed in creating a decent model, I'll help you with the textures.  

Although my unwrap skills are crap, I think I can create some neat maps. I can give you some advice.

BTW if you lack modelling skills, you can hide it a bit with decent maps. ;)

BTW: I didn't add the R2 unit yet. :p

[EDIT] I've abondoned the SnRV model, i couldn't get the bottom parts the shape I wanted.


Damn, you are better than me in Truespace ^^
It take me 2 hours to make only two things and glue them to eachother :nervous:

that's an X-Wing. I need to shorten it a little bit and elongate the guns.

Cobra: That's much better, but try manipulating the actual vertices (not sure if you can do that in blender) to add more detail.
I can tell it's an X-wing, but make the wings seperate, add more detail, etc :)

Cobra : Now try to make that same shape out of one primative. Take one cube and without making any more cubes, cones or cylinders make the same shape using extrusions, bevelling point editing etc.

You'll learn all kinds of useful stuff in trying it.

I think you have your polygons inverted on the engines there?

Other than that, a good effort, good idea to stick with something you can recognise, it's better for learning to control the shapes. You're going to need to look at modelling beyond the basic shapes available though, try to find a tut on selecting and beveling/moving single polygons etc. That will help you add more 'shape' to the body itself.

Extrusions are called sweeps in TS. :)

kinda off topic, but did the SW project ever get it to where you can toggle he s-foils on the Xwing?

That's still basic, but a definite improvement. Now keep on working on some unique model, and don't publish it until it's worth publishing.

EDIT2: So this post doesn't appear off-topic:

*puts "learn how to model" on the to-do list*

If you don't already, try working from a cube and out.  (AKA box-modelling)

Cobra your x wing model surprised me.  It has a long way to go...but it is a definite improvement.  

Listen to the guys who are trying to help you, and to hell with the rest.  a serious try goes places here.  Listening to the people who KNOW what to do goes a lot further.  Listen to what they tell you. k?  and don't listen to the people who just want a laugh.  They probably get stuffed in lockers anyway;)

Now to give you a laugh...i will show you my first model and texture job.  

I actually like the fuselage texture on the front half.  other than that though......in the face of these guys......no way.  The wings....yuck....and as for the texture on the back half...my grandmother would say "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?????"

the thing is, it's all about shapes, kind of like drawing is all about drawing a line.  don't draw the picture, just draw the line.  with modelling, don't model the whole ship..just model a shape at a time.

one last thing...pec if you think that jumping on the bandwagon to slam cobra's lack of inate talent in the use of a modelling program is going to earn you any friends you are wrong.  some guys already brought that act here, you just look like a second rate show.    For what it's worth i told cobra to dump you off of his project, the only reason he kept you on was out of loyalty to what he THOUGHT was a friend.  I hope you feel like the big man on campus knowing that bit of info.  And by the way, that big yellow ball in the sky is the shut the **** up lamp...and it's lit.  get the picture?
