Question - I have been trying to get the hands right , it looked fine , until I added a pistol grip to see how it fits , I had to change a few things . Is the hand the right scale to the pistol grip ? Is there any reference that shows the connection or the sequence of where it goes into the "Arm"

Single pic with stars in the back ground ...

I have been fiddeling with how to get exhaust "flames" Is this realistic ? preview.zip

Good pics - Chas , thanks It will still be some time before I can even think start on a regult ,but you can never have enough reference pics

You must have read my mind ,Dat ......... I have been collecting images for the same purpose . Nanashi's the best

Stupid question -- which is the DYRL version and which is the other ... saw the movies DYRL and MacrossII .

Dat - excelent , I have soft spot for the CF , great job mac666er - nice job , post some more pics ...maybe one day I will do one of those ....

Aztek - working on aircraft is great fun , but huge responsibility , hope you get some time soon . The only aircraft I ever did some engineering for was old South African planes ,C-130 's and Mirage ,nothing as exciting as F-16's...... I was going for the "toyish" look , the photo real stuff will come later when I get into the animation side , thanks for the comments , I''ll have a look @ those texture

No problem Dat , I will try my best , depending on your software your using there is a lot of HDRI tools ( plugins) that sets up the ligthing for u. I can import most file formats , but like obj or 3ds ...

Yet another one...................

Aztek - excelent , I remember that hand on that batroid the first post in this thread , have not read from u in while DAT - Your right , if I compare my hands to that of Aztek's they are really fat , so i'll put them on a cg diet Fooling around with HDRI last night I made these .......

bottom shot ... mechaninac - know how you feel , but we have to feed the kids and all that ...

Nice work DAT I am really stuggling with the hands of the VF-1 , I tried some stuff last night . I am using a 3d hand taken from poser then "build " the robot hand around it, but it just don't feel right ..... Any idaes of advise .....

Thanks for kudu's guys DAT : - I'll lose when it come to animation , but can't wait to see you valk with the fast packs . Fantastic poses on that Battroid . mechaninac - excellent ! come on , mirror that leg and render.

fantastic stuff - AlphaHX DAT -

fooling around .........

It was a looooooong easter weekend so ..

Excelent work DAT , that model keeps on getting better and better mechaninac - I have seen that , there is a fillet there that seems to stand out , I wil remove it Tarz - I have worked with "most" CAD software CADKEY , Autocad , Solid works , CATIA , Matra Datavision , Solid Edge , Ungigraphics , MasterCAM , Mark and a few other and of course Rhino . I love CAD ... Some pics from the weekends work to follow

Progress post before the easter holidays .......

mechaninac - I use solid Edge & Rhino , I think Pro-e & Rhino would be great . I use Rhino to turn solids in to surfaces and visa versa or into polygons very effective and you can export 30 different file formats

Give me till the weekend , I have a very stuborn trojan to fight today -- se.dll

Thanks mechaninac , Tarz , there is still lots to do .... mechaninac - Coming along nicely , are you building your model as a linked assembly or as seprate parts ?
