First post, just popped my cherry

Heres something i'm working on and hopefully finish soon. I dont like the feet so might still work on them. Need to smooth the head and add details to the mouth, then texture before my pc crashes.

C&C very welcome.

booleans i a dirty word! dont see why he would need to use them in it though?

then again i dont know anything about swift. that is a 3d model your making there right? looks very nice, cant wait to see it textured!

[SHIVMOO]

i used to use booleans... but they tend to create messy meshes and nasty mess ups later...
indeed.. .there doesnt seem to be any need for them on this 1 so far
also wants to see it textured

[Stu]

yup thats why i try stay away from them. if theres anything that absolutely positively needs a boolean i will use subtract in autoCAD and import it to max. boolean is a last resort in max for alot of people.

whens the next 3d competition, we had 2 or 3 3d people join in the last few days!

[SHIVMOO]

i dunno.. we realy need to start 1... maybe make a pole on what the desired object of choice is...

[Mooey]

Sometimes I wish Swift had booleans, it would make life so much better lol But you guys are right about the messey meshes they make.

Count me in if your having a comp, the only problem I have is finding the time.

I'll make time if you do one

[SHIVMOO]

the poll is up... will set up the actual compo later... maybe tommorow. so everyone has enough time to vote

it is an awesome model tho mooey !!

No probs, should be another update soon. Too busy enjoying the sun, we hardly get it over here in the UK

[SHIVMOO]

so god dam true man ... i stupidly went cycling in it.. and i pretty much looked like a mirror when i got home

[Mooey]

The beers were flowing yesterday, i'm loving this sun.

If there wasn't so much glare on the screen i'd take my laptop out in the garden, sink a few pints and get this bloody model finished

[Stu]

sounds good, im coming home in the next few days, cant wait! a mr whippy while walking down the "beach", bacon sarnies, cheesburger with fried onions... BEER... god i miss england

[Mooey]

UK is cool, now we have sun more people need to come over here and buy me beer!

As promised, some updates. Next stage is texturing.
