Re: My first attempt at 3d....
What's with all the weird black lines? Also, on the previous one, having the big turrets on top and the smaller guns along the side reminds me of Freespace. The overall design seems a bit more practical than your other designs.

Re: My first attempt at 3d....
I was messing around with the different kind of themes you can do in Sketchup, thats why the lines are all crazy. And with the previous one, that was sort of my intent, the older ones are pretty much purely aesthetic, but that one was meant to look more basic and utilitarian.

Re: My first attempt at 3d....
WELL FOLKS: i dont want to beat a dead horse/thread, but ive been completely overhauling most of my earlier models in Sketchup. After learning a lot more about the program I have gotten these models very close to my original sketches. There are a lot of pics here. Please, feel free to comment and critique. Your insight is actually very helpful and welcome to me.

If you want to work with some really good tutorial books, check out Bonnie Roske's sketchup basic and advanced tutorials.

As always, I totally dig your designs.
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

What's awesome about your fighters is that from the aft they resemble outer-space race cars, but look just as cool as race cars as they do as fighters. That's multi-role design right there.

I like his fighter too, though I think the thing makes sense more if the back is the front and vice versa.Simplicius wrote:What's awesome about your fighters is that from the aft they resemble outer-space race cars, but look just as cool as race cars as they do as fighters.

They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong
But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red
