[QUOTE=tarkata14;15941099]Alright, lets just stop bickering. The rules are now changed to what people wanted, so they're fine. If the OP wants to snip his posts, he can if he chooses. This thread is off to a terrible start, but I'm still going to model a plane. If you want to keep bitching, go ahead.[/QUOTE] I gave you my heart. 1 x :smug:
I'm currently modeling a Spitfire, kinda hard because it's the first time I actually try something other than firearms. Will probably post some pics when I reach any noticeable progress.
Sounds koooo. I was originally going to make the wings and body of the Antonov 1 mesh but it looked like shit. I can't work on it though because I'm on a mac and away from my normal work pc doing other stuff.
Eh, I don't know if I like where this is going, and it's definitely not finished yet, but this is what I'm working on. [IMG]http://i429.photobucket.com/albums/qq12/the1trueryandaniels/shipcomp.png[/IMG] Tell me what you think, crap, good, etc. Damn I'm really undecided here.
Nice toon shading.

Obviously it is a work in progress, but it is just lacking in features or something that really sticks out. But I love all your work and whatever you decide to do will probably turn out great.

It would work much better as a logo (minus the little details, like the speed pads), but what should I expect when all my latest projects have been logos :D. Anyways, yeah, this is still work in progress.

Not going to post the textures unless you really want them, because they are utter shit, this was the first ever time I've actually modeled and textured something. 77,183 polys...
I actually really like that! Keep it up.

Why do people enforce poly limits for visual competitions? It's like punishing people for trying to add detail.

Did you even make this yourself? Would be grand if you could post some evidence (wireframe/texture sheet)
Make the challange just to model an Airplane.

[QUOTE=Occlusion;15960819]Why do people enforce poly limits for visual competitions? It's like punishing people for trying to add detail.[/QUOTE] Because these contests are not purely visual, the point is to see who can make the prettiest thing using the least resources. It's just as much about technical stuff as it is art.
This sounds fun, I can't model but would like to see how this turns out :cool: Request: Could the winner be turned into a 1680 x 1050 wallpaper please? I love planes :3:
Here's what I'm working on, obviously still a work in progress. A very early texture job, going to add some detail to it later. [Img]http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/1918/spitfirewip.jpg[/Img] I'm really terrible at texturing :c
I think i'll enter this. Try make a half decent SR-71.
If I find time, I want to model the Discovery from 2001. That would be ridiculously complex, though.
I'm definitely getting into this, probably going to do a warbird
[QUOTE=kevlar jens;15961060]I highly doubt this is your first model. Did you even make this yourself?

I used blueprints from theblueprints.com

Also, PLing, I just wanted to post a plane I made here, because this just seems the right place to put it, considering it is a plane modelling contest. You are right though, I made this a few months ago, and posted here before. Sorry if you only wanted new models, it didn't say anywhere in the first post they needed to be made after the competition started.

So I think I may go ahead and start working on my spaceship, it has been ages since I last started Max.
-Snip- (Was pretty crap tbh)
