Helicopter WIP

Yeah yeah, I'm not finishing my crab droid, big whoop.

I'm doing this helicopter for the heck of it, and because animations won,t have to be very detailed. I removed the planes (for the blades) so you could see the body clearly.

Its slightly based on the Apache, but its more "freestyle".

looks more based on the comanche except for the tail.
Nothing much to say here...pretty nice.

I just looked at the commanche... Before I showed this pic my copter had a tail EXACTLY like it, so I was doing a commanche without even knowing.



And I'm going to try to find a helicopter sound, and make a custom rocket.

OMG UPDATE!

The model is fine, but by the look of it now, the texture is a bit bad. Though, I can't really tell, because you've just taken a screenshot. Do a render instead, and to do a quick good looking render, just add an skylight to the scene and use light tracer when rendering. (I have just formatted my computer, so I can't say exactly where light tracer is, but you'll find it, just look around in the render menu). Hmm, and oh, I guess you use max right?

I use GMAX, so its basically the same.

very basically

OK fuck this I give up modeling.

I have no idea how to animate, and even if I do, the wrap on the body is fucked up when it goes in the war3 editor.
Warshape I honestly don't feel like working with either.

I'm just gonna go skin something instead.

Exporting without the wc3 art tools is very risky and hardly worth it. Make models for fun instead like art. :) At least you learn to shape things for evetual later use.
