Modeling a f18-Hornet in POLYs

[JoeSchmo]

if your comfortable working in NURBS,
you could always start that way,
and then convert to polys and tweak it.

just one of a thousand ways to do it.

if u use nurbs....the square tool is really nice...

Here's what I have so far....

The cockpit got all bumpy and I don't know how to fix it...

[dmcgrath]

Most likely you have the object smoothed already? How about a wireframe shot of at least the cockpit. That way we can see what is actually going on there. I can't tell you the reason it's so lumpy without more information.

my advice....if it gets to hairy to smooth it out....is to cut out the cockpit....delete it....and go back with a curve, snap it to the verts where you cut it out....and use the quare tool to create a surface. This will be smooth...much more control...you need only 4 curves...and with the square tool, the curves dont even need the same parameterization...AND you can make the seams tangent with the surface
