Dude, thats awesome. Looks great!

[adam123]

ok, just in case the recent hurricane knocks my power out for the remainder of the week, im going to post my product, i was inspired by a number of my favorite pieces, i really thought this model through so i was really proud of it, its not COMPLETELY done, there are still somethings i want to do with it in the future, but my skils as of now limit me and i wouldnt even know where to start

anyways, i hope u like this as much as i did making it!

and let me explain it a bit, its a spybug, it takes surveillence through its tiny cameras in the front (the globe) in the future it would be used by assualt teams againts the fight against crime

( i modeled it after a laddy bug if u didnt notice)

cooool, nice work BeaverElfeater

nice entries guys, i love that spybug
i wonder how you did that circling wire chkristian?

[Ckristian]

Great stuff bongo!!

I'll probably start on mine tomorrow - Been trying to get back into programming and stuff that I haven't had time to work much on this one

And Nice model Beaver

EDIT:
@Avalanche - I just took a helical spline - put it under extrude nurbs - made it editable - then selected all polys and did an extrude with the "create caps" option enabled - Hope that helps Another slight variation to this would be using the helical spline a small square shaped spline and using the sweep nurbs - would give you a slightly different result though

hey bongo, is that splines or polys?

nice stuff btw

[bongoboy]

All poly... everyone drawn by hand. There's still a couple of shaky moments in there but they should be sorted soon.

It's a pain and you need patience, but it's ultimately satisfying! (like a good fart, the day after a strong curry)

but on a more serious note, when ur modeling that, how do u get all the pieces to match up so nicely?

i changed my mind, im entering, i just had a great idea
i hope i can finish it in time

Copy the points that make the edge - when you come to a seam - paste them and move them slightly down then start the next part of the seam from those points.

This way, both edges have the same amount of points in the same position. So that when you extrude the flat surface outwards the edges sit flush against one another.

The ones on the front are a bit shaky, but they're getting better the more I do...
