      Shouldn't there be a radial blur for a rotating propeller?

      Great render Pete!

        There is no propeller Scott.

        Amazing model Eric and an excellent render from Pete.

                              Very cool! The only thing missing is the "prop disk"...

                                  I love these models. Could you explain a little on how you modeled the body and the wings, thats what I am stumped on from looking at the wireframes. Great job, thanks!

                                    Thanks. Those shapes were simple really. Just a cylinder for the body, using the scale tool on segments about the cylinder. And for the wings I made a profile and pushed the shape, scaled one side, pushed again, scaled or rotated...

                                    Hope this helps.

                                      OK, that makes sense, I guess I was confused from the amount of triangles in the wireframes. I thought you used the sandbox tool. I have never used the sandbox tool to create that clean of shapes, only landscape. Thanks for the reply.

                                            Well the original author called it "Big Bird" so I think I will stick with that.

                                            Edit: Thanks Dan.
