Sorry, reworking the file my http got wiped on a "matinence update" (yeah sure) looking at hosting a pdf or some other method to attach images without relying on a outside source or crap spam hosts. Hope to have these back up before 2007

Shuttle butts???? I don't want to smell the exhaust!!

Hey! You beat me to it. That's pretty much how I do them. Nice job.

One question, if you're using Max, what the hell is Turbosmooth?

its a fast way to sub divide a mesh. It was added in MAX7 I use it more than meshsmooth since at one time max would crash when applying meshsmooth to certian symmetery objects. Its much afster too when your bouncing back and forth between stacks.

Oh and in no way was I attempting to beat anyone or take away from their tuts. Someone here and a few elsewhere have asked or in other ways hinted at this so instead of doing it individualy I decided to use this route. As well trying to communicate this via text is a bit hard without piccies.

Great stuff so far. I have fewer and fewer excuses not to actually make one of these puppies...

Roliba · 07-14-2006, 05:48 AM

Really nice.

I guess now I'm going to have to crank one of these out and go a whole different way, except to already taken to really good ways of doing it.

Well you dont have to change how you did your for your tut. This tut is just general ways to cap that tail end of a secondary hull.
Other methods are to spline the shapes then attach it or boolean the shapes in by subtraction or via cut. (quite messy) Or model the individaula parts then boolean them together (messy again)
Now we all have to wonder when scifieric will get to his bussards. . . . .

Ahhh... This is the question of the century, (okay, month) isn't it?

Solid, fish.

Now you can continue by making the interior too.
