      Well, the bird (i assume, if not, i apologize, i am really tired from a busy day!) looks awesome. So does the SP Ship. Can't wait to see both!

        Starting work on a track, working against a mate to make the next track for motorsketch 2. I myself am making a fictional WRC super special stage:

            Cheers mate, but how can I improve? Saying it's 'awesome' over and over again is all very well and good but it's not helping me at all. The reason I put this topic up is so that I can improve from other people's criticism, not as a showcase.

              XD Sorry, mate. Well, if I were you, I would maybe add another route so people can have a choice of which way to go on the track, understand what i mean?

                Fair enough, may be a bit tricky getting the ai to do that but I'll see what I can do

                  The AI will follow only their individual routes, you can make each one drive wherever you like πŸ˜„

                      Fair enough. Need some input here, I have absolutely no idea where to put the second route. Here is the circuit plan:

                      http://i828.photobucket.com/albums/zz203/hobbnob1/sketchup/Super special stage/1-2.jpg

                      The finish straight is the long straight that isn't mud πŸ˜„

                      As you can see, I have made this a night circuit, and put up a couple more barriers to stop the AI getting stuck. Here is a 'crowd's eye' view:

                        I think I know what you're talking about when you talk about the location, it's not a bridge, it's a jump.

                          Somewhere where the bridge goes over the track...

                            Yeah, actually another plan is to put the branch off at the start and have it elevated for a while

                              Nola, went with your idea:

                              http://i828.photobucket.com/albums/zz203/hobbnob1/sketchup/Super special stage/1.jpg

                              You can see there that the second track runs around the outside of the circuit, and rejoins about a third of the way through the circuit. The new route is almost perfectly balanced with the rest of the track, which results in cars meeting at the end of the second route, as seen here:

                                  Bit more work on the serenity, I did a bit of work on the end of the nose and remade the neck.

                                    Very nice. Have you heard of the joint push pull plugin? It helps a lot, for example, the yellow things on the back, you could extrude them, or push them in. If you don't already have it, it's in the Must Have Ruby Plugins thread in the Plugins subforum.

                                    Remember, great minds think alike, and fools never differ.

                                      I have, but those yellow bits are not extruded on the film model, therefore it shall not be on mine.

                                      New project today, A panther LCV. It's basically a big heavy British Jeep with a remote controlled gun on the top
                                      Heres the real thing:

                                      And now my progress so far:

                                      I am also recording all the modelling that happens during this build, so I can compress it and hopefully get some advice.

                                        i would make the doors as separate components, easier to add the details that way. Plus then you can open/close them etc for renders. Remember what I said about splitting the model up? anyway its a good start, on your serenity model I think you should re-model the landing gear too.

                                          Oh yeah, didn't think of the component thing on the doors, I'll do it. As for the serenity, yeah that shouldn't be a problem, the landing gear really does need work.

                                            Also done a bit of work on the panther, according to my video editing software I have been working on the model for about an hour and 20 minutes:
