Rodavan Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I decided after many years to do a Star Wars model , it is tedious work when you do NURBS model every item needs to be constructed ,and surfaces created .... painful . I took a break and scanned thru all my VF-1 models and saw a very badly done VF-1S head , so this side project was born. I will also post the TIE Interceptor that I am busy with ...

logan_4600 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 checking the fit ... Nice work! Can i ask you how did you aproach the "torso" ? ( you know, the double chest front and back parts) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodavan Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 Logan_4600 - Not sure my methods would help , I use Rhino which is a pure nurbs modeller , each surface is constructed using curves and filleted and trimmed for detail each panel was detailed on it's own . I believe you use blender -totally different approach with polygons , you shape and sculpt . What helped a lot was , I got lot of info from guys building kits , they take good pictures and that model is nearly 10 years old .... today I would have done it differently . I have been tempted to update .. but first finish my VF-19, if I ever finish all my "side" projects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Cinema 4D ( Nevermore was the one using blender ), and i DO rely a lot on NUrbs (now called Subdivision Surface). And, i did it two o three times. from a Square, from a Lofted Spline, and i can´t get yet the curves there right! (or the overall form ) I even don´t really like how it outcomes with any technique... it´s just... not "slick"... You seem to get all the curves and form just right!
