The new Raptor

wow, you responded fast, I just now got all my links working.

I think it looks good other than the nose cone and cockpit. GJ <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> <img src=´http://tachyon15.homestead.com/files/justsayno.jpg ´> ..................... Do you really want arthritis before you´re 30?

Good start. The texture is fine. A bit more details would probably look better tough. I´m not the modeling specialist but for the cockpit, you could try to work with a half cylinder. You should center it a bit more too (unless you did it on purpose but I don´t think so...) Try to work a bit more on the nose. Draw some sketches of it on paper, try different shapes until you find something good then do it o your model... I´m not sure it will help you but that´s how I work... I don´t know what the other modelers think about that but in my opinion, the cylinder is the best shape to work with for parts with curves (modify them vertex by vertex to get any shape you want). For the negative value, I can´t answer (simply because I don´t know the answer...) But I don´t think you can do that. I hope this help a bit. At least, I tried to make constructive comments... keep it up ! ----------------------- <img src=´http://membres.lycos.fr/darkpetzi/sig.gif ´> United SL Modelers

btw, could you post a side view of it ? And a last minute suggestion : try to make the cockpit a bit bigger... ----------------------- <img src=´http://membres.lycos.fr/darkpetzi/sig.gif ´> United SL Modelers

My mind. Seriously, I just kinda remembered what I thought the Raptor looked like and I wanted it to be a little different so I just started throwing cylinders and boxes out there till I came up with something I liked.
