Spitfire Update

Posted by Fender on March 28, 2006, 12:26 a.m.

For those of you who don't know, I'm making a <b>British WWII Mk. 14 Supermarine Spitfire</b> in Cinama 4d. I finally have some images! Here are some stats so far:

- after making the front end and the rear end of the fuselage, i finally managed to fuse the two at the cockpit and cut out the actual cockpit hole. Making the cockpit more detailed will be <b>my next goal.</b>

- I was watching the canucks play the LA Kings while doing this and everything just seemed to go right. The process I'm using is working much better than i thought it would. <b>Plus we won 7-4</b>.

- So far this project, while being easier so far than other things i've attempted, has totalled to about <b>eleven thousand polygons</b>. much better than doing it all by hand like I've done with cars before, this process involves making splines and connecting them all.

- Notice the most prominent mistakes. There are a whole bunch of physical errors that are visible because I haven't yet adjusted the splines. I'll fix it later.

Here are two images:
