I had to show a school kids about 3D graphics and rendering , I made this to show them the transition from model to texture a model - found some old files ....

I zipped it as we can't upload .exe files

Mesh 2 Render v2.zip

Holiday time again - modelled again today so here some progress ...

Very cool

Nice work

Slow progress

Thanks Greeble

Nothing on this model is easy , look easy until you start with the detail . Trying to prep "gun" for filleting

Thank you for info Mr March

Some progress pics

Mr March - I am having issues with body , if you got anything that can help .... send it

Thx - barurutor

Some smal updates , re-did shape of the shoe , there is a lot of artist 2d magic in there

Mr March - Thx , will let you know when I get stuck

Exo - Thx , Yes I have not done any modeling for a while , going to be fun . We need to show that the "old" guys can still do it

Holiday time , time to model

Just getting started

Nice work

Nice!

Yes , but as an artist we all have likes and dislikes , The Q-Rau was a modeling challenge , I model in NURBS , not an easy execrise with all those round shapes and blends . I am "busy" with YF-19 , which I like .... but this YF-21 is well modelled .

Never liked the YF-21 , but you are doing a very good job

Nicely done

I use Rhino 3D ...

This is from another topic about scale , I still feel the same way .

Just remember the designs was done ,in 2D , by people who "cheat" with colour and pencils on a flat piece of paper. If you ever done a VF1 or VF-19 in 3D , there is no way that the actual "sizes" fit 100% --you have to make them fit within the refence material . Just have a look at the toys and the different ways the manufactureres bend the rule to make the transformations happen .

Have fun , this is not do or die stuff , what you have done already looks great.

I have not read all the post here - the "Idea" of these designs was done in 2D , by people who "cheat" with colour and pencils on a flat piece of paper. If you ever done a VF1 or VF-19 , in 3D there is no way that the actual "size" will fit you have to make them fit . Just have a look at the toys and the different ways the manufactureres bend the rule to make the transformations happen .

I still love them to bit , we as Macross fans can just our best to make them fit and look good as they were intended to be

Africa has two Macross Fanatics now !

Nicely done

Nice work , always wanted to do one of those

Well done , cool modeling
