I can not express how much I dig your style.

I really like these. Looks like the firepower capability is pretty good on this, but I think you could fit in an actual rocket without hurting the design, or atleast a pretty well sized plasma cannon

Another triumph for C4D u da man squidinc:buttrock:. One little bit of crit though I think the wings should sweep back as at the moment they don't seem to fit with the rest of the ship, which all sweeps back with lovely lines and ahh. :drool:

Nice wrk... But theres something I have always wonderd when using c4d... How do you get the hardshapes but still not razor-sharp edges? Define them extra? Weighting hypernurbs (this I never seem to get the hang on, any1 got a tut except maxons?)?


Cheers

yup,usually I spin around the model to see how the light hits it, and then put a very slight bevel on edges that look a bit sharp, it also works pretty well for making panelling, surface detail .etc

I'm working on some alternative weaponry at the moment :) , I only decided it was gonna be fighter after I rendered it with all the glowing bits, I thought it looked kind of sinister, will keep you guys updated :thumbsup:

Malcolm: bevel is under the structure menu, select a polygon and then select bevel, drag with the mouse and it'll extude the polygon and scale it down

I reckon he's got a little socket in the back of his head, matrix style, all he does is plug in, think of something cool and voila! ;)

Butt kicking work Squid! :thumbsup:

I notice you have this theme going (hard not to notice), which makes me wonder . . . Are you going to be making a short movie with all these great characters and props? :curious:

Keep up the awesome work! :)
