135modeler Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Not sure where else this would go! My first attempt at a 3d model that was styled on an actual plan, rather than haphazard conglomerations - in this case the Vought VS-322, a never-built heavy fighter design, powered by a mid mounted R-4360.I think I've caught the general likeness; the nose needs a bit of a stretch and recontouring; learning how to make propellers would undoubtably help matters! Blender is quite powerful, but I've learned about 1/10 of 1 % of what it has to offer. Vought VS-322 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpiomikey Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Blenders great, not very intuitive though. You're doing well. I need to get back into this. The funny thing is, if you do a google image search for the VS-322 it comes up with your model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilF92 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 (edited) Looks not bad for a first serious go. Blender takes a bit of learning but is, as you say, very powerful. I use it to create virtual "plastic models" to set up compositions for conventional art work. The last two I created led me on to UV mapping and painting the models in Blender . Highly addictive and absorbing . I'm still very much a 3D novice though . Military Meshes site has a good tutorial on Blender by Kevjon even though the tutorial refers to a much earlier version of Blender . Getting hard to keep up with the pace of change in that software! See this thread for an idea of my Blender creations. http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234930129-anson-and-hurricane-blender-3d-models/ Edited July 24, 2013 by NeilF92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
