Heinkel Kabine WIP

tuna1957

jo-ke , the last render of your Heinkel is just stunning . Now your going to torture yourself with the Microlino ?
You have way more "moxie" than me. Are the last two pics you posted of the Microlino renders of a 3D model ? They sure look like it.

jo-ke

I don‘t know if they are renders, may be?

final render of object

Excellent!

Wonderful

jo-ke

Do you think, this is a good start?

jo-ke

how do I proceed to the 3rd dimension?

That is my biggest problem!

I am always struggling with this step!!

subdividing, cutting holes, texturing, details, rendering is easy for me but propper proxies ist my main problem!

Very nice start jo-ke. F.Y.I. Thom Thom had an old post showing his process on a car model , think it was a vintage Dodge Challenger. If memory is right I think you can find a link to it on his Evil Software Empire site ? Might be worth checking out ?

jo-ke

good idea. I will have a look

Tuna1957's suggestion is a good source... and here's links from the source.

Nice, getting there mate.

jo-ke

adding details...

jo-ke

how can I get such a sunken line?

Is there any tool in vertex tools or quadfacetools?

Rich O Brien

For that you need to scale along Vertex Normals. VT2 has no such functionality.

But if you limit select a loop and know that the selected loop will scale uniformly in the direction you need you can hold SHIFT while scaling with VT2. Its a bit of a hack but can get good results

Bryan K

That's shaping up nicely.

jo-ke

I've found a way. not elegant but effektive. with joint push pull.

Mike Amos

It works well enough, nicely done.
