PR-0927 Posted July 4, 2004 Author Posted July 4, 2004 What do you mean?!?! The tutorials have nothing to do with why it got messed up. Last time, I could make a cockpit, now I can't. It just doesn't look right. It is still flat on the sides, rather than rounded. I wanted a shape that is, like, half of an egg...and I'm using a cylinder to do it...and I can't get it!! I'm so frustrated, and I don't know what shape I used last time. I doubt the tutorials will help me. What would they even tell???? And, it looked better last time.
PR-0927 Posted July 4, 2004 Author Posted July 4, 2004 At least the disc-shaped body looks better than it used to. The cockpit looks sorta fine. Sorta weird though. Here is a picture.
PR-0927 Posted July 4, 2004 Author Posted July 4, 2004 Wow!! I just added more stuff, and I only have 424 faces!! Cool!! It looks a lot better actually!!
PR-0927 Posted July 4, 2004 Author Posted July 4, 2004 Very odd, I keep adding stuff, messing with the modifiers to make them the right shape, smoothen them, cap the holes, and reduce faces, and now the face amount is 294.
PR-0927 Posted July 4, 2004 Author Posted July 4, 2004 O.K., three more pictures!! I just have to add the stuff to the bottom, and the actual modeling is done. I'll probably do that tomorrow. Here are the pictures:
tFighterPilot Posted July 5, 2004 Posted July 5, 2004 Someone has to say it and it's better be me. This model isn't close to be done. It doesn't look like a Droid Starfighter.
lonepadawan Posted July 5, 2004 Posted July 5, 2004 Wow... Majin Revan and Tfighterpilot ... let's just call this the thread of ridiculously huge sigs. Except Tfighters has somthing pretty in it....

PR-0927 Posted July 6, 2004 Author Posted July 6, 2004 LOL!! My signature picture sucks. I couldn't think of anything better. The Droid Starfighter is going well now, yesterday it looked like poop because I was too exhausted to do it right. Today, I got the cockpit to look...normal. Here is a picture:
PR-0927 Posted July 6, 2004 Author Posted July 6, 2004 I'll be fixing the wings today and tomorrow. Tell me, does the body of it look too large?!?! And, are the wings too long?!?!
tFighterPilot Posted July 6, 2004 Posted July 6, 2004 What about the wings? Are you gonna make them look like they should?

And, are the wings too long?!?! Well, just to repeat myself, yes, I'll be fixing them. Now, do you have any suggestion after looking at that last picture?!?! BTW- Dude, your Kaduu looks awesome.

PR-0927 Posted July 6, 2004 Author Posted July 6, 2004 Huh?!?! Anyway, I messed with the wings more. I'm not done messing with them yet, though. Another picture:
CortoCG Posted July 6, 2004 Posted July 6, 2004 Revan, before starting the modelling, gather all the reference material you can get. Or you'll spend more time fixing the model than actually modelling it.
PR-0927 Posted July 6, 2004 Author Posted July 6, 2004 O.K., I did get referrence material. Here is another picture:
CortoCG Posted July 6, 2004 Posted July 6, 2004 Much much better now. I don't wanna be a party killer, but, what's the polycount so far?
tFighterPilot Posted July 6, 2004 Posted July 6, 2004 Originally posted by CortoCG Much much better now. I don't wanna a party killer, but, what's the polycount so far? Hey that's my line!
CortoCG Posted July 6, 2004 Posted July 6, 2004 You mean like I stole your words or like I read your mind?
tFighterPilot Posted July 6, 2004 Posted July 6, 2004 Originally posted by CortoCG You mean like I stole your words or like I read your mind? Stole my words, I sayed it countless of times!
PR-0927 Posted July 6, 2004 Author Posted July 6, 2004 LOL!! You mean face count?!?! The face count is 2416, and there are 2496 vertices total. I could've lowered it, but the wings wouldn't look good. I'll get to modeling sometime today in the afternoon. I got off the computer yesterday around 9:00 P.M., I think, to do fire-stuff!! Smoke-bombs, sparklers, snakes, it rocked!! I'm glad that you guys like it better now. CortoCG, here are two pictures from different angles:
CortoCG Posted July 6, 2004 Posted July 6, 2004 I see, nice. I don't remember a lot the droid starfighter, but it looks like the idea I have of it.
PR-0927 Posted July 7, 2004 Author Posted July 7, 2004 What do you think it needs now?!?! I'll get to it after 3:30 P.M. (Eastern Time) tomorrow.
CortoCG Posted July 7, 2004 Posted July 7, 2004 Time to get nasty with crits, now is when you're gonna find out if you have what it takes to be a modeller. Post some wireframe screenshots, so we can see the real deal, how was the droid starfighter modelled.
