making my old tasco telescope in 3d

I still have the back to do. All pieces inside were put inside. Including glass that magnifies and cross bar lineup. Wanted to branch out with no tut and learn some of the modeling tools on my own. Explore basically. In the end it will have the tri pod and placed in a field.

It's funny you should post that DaliFan, I was only thinking the other day about modelling a Meade LX200 SC...:o)

Cheers

very cool cheers

yeah I thought it would be great to branch out with no help (only my 2nd "project") and see if I can manage the basic tools with no instruction.

It has been fun. Be sure to post anything you render if you do go through with it (I love telescopes)

Nice work :)

I did my Synta 150/1200 refractor once.

I still need to finnisch the tripod legs, but the rest is quite finnished.

Looks good DaliFan!

now for some textures on the object and an environment to put it in I guess?? Or at least some environment on the txtr for the telescope itself so it's not so flat anymore - good work - go on!!

Hey Hey Dalifan!!!

This looks already pretty good!!!!

One can see that you're really investing time in this!! Now for a cool moonlit night starry background and a window to look out from and it's really cool.....

Great job of the modelling :thumbsup:


My only crit would be on top tube/barrel towards the front where it tapers the taper itself looks a bit smooth or soft,aw crap terrible explanation,the taper does not look sharp enough like a piece of metal lathed into that shape...does that make sense :shrug: .The rest of the parts look excellent and it was just the taper area on the top tube which caught my eye :)


That will look excellent with some nice textures :thumbsup:



The bed room idea is very cool....you could also make a light gel of say stars or even use the star shader and in the room itself you would have stars projected all over the walls and the ceiling at night to add impetus to the telescope idea :)

Very nice. Maybe for a scene, have a star background with a comet shooting across that would give you a nice composition.

Keep it up:beer:
