Biggles3 Pilot	posted 02-19- 03:29 PM WEll as some of u guys know, in have a very good CD moderling prog called amapi 3D 4.5 and it canot export obj files but it can export 3ds files. so i downloaded ANIM8OR and tryed to open a file i exported in 3DS from AMAPI and i found i can open it in ANIM8OR with no problems then in ANIM8OR i can export it as an OBJ file with no problem what so ever. so guys How do i start making a 3d modle for an aircraft? do i have to make each bit sepratly or do i make the whole plane in 1 bit? also where can i download the pluging for opps that i need? please help me out on this 1. ------------------ WHATCH YOU TAIL;) IP: Logged
Falck Pilot	posted 02-19- 03:33 PM Theres two strategies...You can make the plane piece by piece. Inner Wing -> Outer Wing -> Flap -> Aileron Or you can just make a whole wing...but be sure you put in vertices where the corners of the flaps and control surfaces are. I dont know about anim8or, but in Ac3D you can then cut the airleron and other pieces out of the wing. IP: Logged
Nat Pilot	posted 02-19- 08:12 PM my personal advice is to model these parts seperately and then chop them into seperate parts afterwards: Fuse Left wing Right Wing Left Hstab Right Hstab Vstab Canopy (usualy better done once you have the airfcraft about finished in OPS) Really though, it all depends on what you find best for yourself, but modeling this way has distinct advantages.
