A little something I've been slowly working on

[GreatGodSajuuk]

Yes I know there are smoothing errors but I'll squash them later, I want to finish the geometry first.

Opinions?

It feels like you're attempting to portray low poly through a high poly model, is this what you're going for?

How long have you been creating models and what are you using, I'm curious.

I hold judgement until I see it with wire edges, but it looks good.

HOLY SHIT THE FUCKING OVERLAPPING VERTICiES AND FLOATING VERTICIES AND AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH WHAT DID YOU DO

[Whiplash!]

Cool, lets see it textured when its done.

No, it's just as good as I can do so far. I started modeling a long time ago but I never really focused on it and all my previous stuff was basically lego-like stuff, I mostly did 90 and 45 degree corners everywhere.

Using Blender, I tried Max and LW but I don't feel comfortable with them.

The guns under the wings are a separate object, but they are not interesecting with the wings, they have hardpoints made for them under the wing where they fit in. I plan to do more weaponry options for this fighter.

Here's some edit mode pics of the main body for you to see:

Have you attempted to smooth it? I'm wondering what kind of result would occur with some of your methods.

[GreatGodSajuuk]

The result is what you see in the render, actually the viewport with smoothing lacks the few little glitches there are.

[IskatuMesk]

For starters, model in quads and not triangles - it's faster, cleaner, and much lower poly. About 75% of those edges could be removed with virtually no impact on the model's looks. But converting to quads would fix it up as it is.

[GreatGodSajuuk]

I model in Quads i just converted em to tris for these wire pics.

[WB]

Glad you model in quads, in the future, wire pic = no tris please, tris just muddle it up and we lost site of how your edges flow. IE, too much shit on screen.

Engines already convert every quad into a triangle, so have quads and converting to tris doesnt actually add to the actual poly count as far as a game engine is concerned. But it is a mess to work with.

Anyway, it seems you don't have a lot of wasted polies, except near the front. You can totally make tat gun a seperate mesh not attached to the mesh of the ship. It would simplify the topography of the front.

[GreatGodSajuuk]

This is more of an adventrue in modelling I integrated it just to see if I can manage it, and yes, the front is full of wastage.

[Hercanic]

Just a sidenote about quads vs tris: A model imported into Zbrush will need to be composed of quads for it to work properly.

[Negi]

Have you tried removing any of the faces over by the front?  The mesh is pointlessly fine (a pun!).

[Legion]

I'm no expert, but it looks really cool. A bit like those origami art thingies, but that's not necessarily a bad thing!

What you gonna use it for? A mod? Or was it just for fun?
