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

Thanks, however there is not a propeller. See here:

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.

Ok, here is a first run at rendering this "Big Bird".
Shiny out of the box...
-
the third one is epic
-
Thanks Bruce.
Well the original author called it "Big Bird" so I think I will stick with that.Edit: Thanks Dan.
-
Spud?
-
yeah that third image in the clouds is good, is it finished yet?
-
No, this was just a first try. I may even do multiple color schemes and what not.
-
A sharks teeth WW2 paint scheme would look pretty good you up for that?
-
eric
that really looks good. -
Big Bird flies!
I did a few short animations, compiled it quickly with basic 'ol Windows movie maker, slapped on an audio track and we have the Big Bird music video.
If I had more time I'd have done better clean up and editing.
Sit back, crank up the sound (earphones would be best) and see Erics baby go.

Great to see some of the capabilities of Vue...
In particular I liked the shot from inside the cockpit and out, where the plane is turning...
That actually looked real...!
