If anyone into 3dsMax can have a peek at my question in the tech section it would be much appreciated, I'm hung up on one thing before I can finish the canopy.

Looks great! Any plans for a Yak-9 when you're finished?

Wow!

This one will keep me busy for quite awhile yet ! Lots of work left like texturing, propeller, FM, and (ugh) cockpit. I got it into SDOE and flew it around a bit today ! wohoo !

I'm at 1000 polys with the model you see above but I am going to be reducing that further. When I fly this with the cockpit and gear from the 190 I get 30 to 60 fps which is a little less than I get from the standard planes.

I'm finding the shape of the fuselage hard to texture I may be redoing it.. highly reccomend having a go at texturing your model and loading it into OPStudio early on to spot problems

OPS - hmmm - think I´m a idiot in this prg - should read some docs first (maybe this weekend)... texturing is an problem cause I dont got 3D Max to do that - I just had to find another way or someone who got this prog and want to help me out...

keep on workin !

TS,
Don't forget, Max counts triangles only (assuming the poly counter hasn't changed in version 3). Your poly count will actually be far less if you're able to export quads.

I'm still exporting as triangles.. I'll try the quad thing after I get farther along. There are some polys in my model that obviously are adding no detail though like the ones on the wing that are there just because of the notch sticking out of the aileron..
