HGS 2-40 Gunship - Scifi-Meshes.com

**dadoes** · 05-31-2007, 02:05 PM

I'm having a go at modeling the Gunship designed by Honman1.

You can find the 2D WIP thread here

Not too much progress so far, just started on the Pilot/Gunner pod. I'll try and post at least one update a week (hopefully more).

looks like a real tight fit for the pilot. maybe shrink the seat down a bit.

Honman1 · 05-31-2007, 08:00 PM

Nice start! Would tend to agree with gonk droid about the seat though... (me bad)

**dadoes** · 05-31-2007, 08:33 PM

You have a point there gonk driod, I'll shrink it down. I'll also put a figure in there to double check the scale, don't know why I didn't do that (I've done it on my other meshes)

I'll also do a wireframe render and post that up as well

Unless it's a cockpit for space hobbits of course. I like the start of it, just more shots of whatever detail you put on it please.

Small update, just resized the chair (may do it again, once I find the zygote figures), and added the hatch and some details to the pod.

I may try some different approaches to the main pod body, because I'm not totally happy with it at the moment.

I also seem to have lost the Zygote models that come with C4D, I'm using a fresh install at work at the moment and they're not in the object library. If anyone knows why they're not there or how I install them please let me know, thanks.

much better. room to breath now.

Honman1 · 06-08-2007, 05:12 PM

The thing is looking awesome...

No luck on the zygote figure?

I was waiting to see what size the seat was going to be, but...

How about you scoot the chair forward a bit, then add another chair behind it (Standard gunner/pilot configuration)... The pre-SFM design was a two seater.

Also the hatches/panels on top of the gun housings... I'd extrude those...

Sorry about the lack of updates this week. I've got a JuJitsu grading on Monday and have been tied up trying to get all the moves correct.

I've found where the Zygote figures had been moved to and have put a pilot in the chair. I've had to resize the cair a fare bit to make it look right. I'll do a quick render on Monday and post it so you can see what it looks like.

I'm redoing the panels, so i'll extrude them this time and see how they go.

I'll move the seat forward add another seat in and do a frameto hold them in place, I'll post the result later next week.

TTFN

Decided to do a quick render of the pilot.

Honman1, If I put two seats in the pod I may have to reduce the size of the seat even further to enable them both to have a clear view. I'll do some tests on Monday and post the results to see what you think.
