Thank you for sharing those images. I think you should aim for something a little more graceful. Now it looks to much like a boat. Make it larger and more slender.
But you got the curves absolutely right.

Mikael P.
No prob man, I hope you liked them.
well to be clear it is a boat i canceled the surfboard cos it doesn’t fit then the boat doesn’t have a cabin so it stays flat.

Blake Kehler
Never heard of that disney, well sorry my connection is far to slow for dl a trailer so thanks anyway, You don’t got a pic of it?

Serull…Thanks man. well it just is a shape nothing detail got a bit stuck with crosssection but now I fixed it.

To all:
the skin of the boa will be similar as that of a fish then it will get a wooden top deck and well tomorow a other day to work on it.
thnks for the feedback

#20

>>>>>>well I’ve been modeling the rough shapes some more still some objects to make and then I go to the detailed part.
well enjoy

#21

2nd and last for today
in the weekend I’ll be doing other stuff so no modeling hten.

#22

oh! :applause: Your lines has such a nice flow.
Have you thought about making it slightly longer? Will probably lend it more sense of speed.

#23

Mikael P. : well I think I try it cos I thin kyour right but then it will be shown nextr update I’ll post a side viuew of before and after.
Ihad some dificulties updating my 2nd pic so I thin k you missed it

:wavey:

#24

Well here I made a chance as Mikael sudgested. I made the rear longer then it was, well I don’t have the idea which is best.
Well what do you think.:curious:

#25

lol. The shorter one looks best. But if you were to enlarge the sail on the longer version. I think I would go for that one.

#26

Mkael P.
well yes I think I also would go for the shorter version. well one thing abouth the longerversion which I like is that the part behind the cabin is longer so I think I play some more with that. And maybe teh point were the boat reaches his tickest aprt has t o be moved backwards. well tomorrow I got time to try and play some more.

#27

looking good, i think it might look better with a longer board, i actually like the long sail, it makes it more unique, makes “your” surfboard

#28

Yo ELF:
I don’t wanna make you feel stupid (well or myself )
but I understood nothing of what you were saying.
Well start offThe picture with the 6 boats ar differenet cos he riht one has a longer board.
, i think it might look better with a longer board so this answers this question.
makes “your” surfboard
make sit more mine, you mean my design not a casuak board?
well I hoep I don’t sound to harsh cos I hink I might., hope you son’t get tis wrong.
then tomorrow I update I didn’t have time the past days but a update must be there.
:beer:

#29

its ok, i just read over my post after i read what you said, and your right, i didnt understand a word of it either:p , i was rushed when i wrote it:blush: , what i meant by “your” surfboard was that it made it more unique, not like a regular surf/windsurf board, now im going to go look at the pictures since i now know what the difference was, ok now i see the difference, i like the one on the right, the longer one, and i think the one on the right seems to have a sail more proportional with board according to the sketches, i know that sounds fuzzy tell me if i messed up again:p

#30

Elf Htnka man yes I thought youment that but for the same I could have been wrong.
and it is O.K.

Well since I maybe join a student club I might not have all the time in the world to finish my challenge that is why I have a second easy consept but also fu =n I think.
well enjoy the consept and I think I can moddel this one in a day.

#31

Well here is a pic. was further I had my charater sitting on the papaermade plane but then I got 1 of those always really irritating erros so I lost were i was and I don’t feel like continueing now. well this is what you have to do it for now.
O and I forgot to ask a question.
I can’t find flip noramalls nor in edit poly nor in editable mesh
can someon help me?
:lightbulb

#32

I updated then I wnated to check if there were replies and I couldn’t exces the page and now I check and my updates are gone???

Well I pos them again but I see a similar thing happend at (…) threath.

K

I added the skin as fas as I got I made them 1 by 1 and positioned them 1 by 1. thsi si got I could not find a way to get tehm right with aray and spacing tools. Someone knows a other way? or beter?
Then I added the steering blade and chanced th e steer. some more stuff …

#33

You could try placing them on a flat plain and use “free form deformations” to bend them into position.
Just might work

#34

Clanger:
I must say that that is a excelent idea Clanger.
Simple and fast. I still consider myself as a beginner max but I know ( don’t know how to do it) that with UVW maping you know texturing faces and stuff you can unfold them to a flat object. I meight lern it form the texturing for dummies by leigh )
then I can make the skin flat in the shape of the unfolded skin and then use your trick.
this might do the trick don’t you think?
thanks for the good advise:thumbsup:

#35

If you want a really good tutorial that covers modelling but also mapping (UVW maps and stuff), you should go and see this one:

In french: http://mr2k.3dvf.com/tutorials/max/tutorials_joan.htm
In english: http://www.3dtotal.com/ffa/tutorials/max/joanofarc/joanmenu.asp

Hope this helps!

For a second time I won’t be able to finish a challenge before the deadline. Man I whish I had a PC in my own room in the city were I study, but I don’t.I went to a 2 week lasting introduction camp of a student comunity ( or how it is called in english). this is why I couldn’t work on it.
I’ll finish this one aswell as the last one before I start a new challenge. good luck for the people who will finish it and I must say that there is already promising work here. :applause: :buttrock:

welll by for now.
