K guys, tail helped me out after flying last night. Thanks alot man.

K he talked me though getting the planes up and mapped with my 3ways as pics to draw splines over all at the right scale and sizes and stuff. So i'm going to follow JTs tut on lofting.

Just wondering Should I make the plane as individual parts right now like inner and outter wing, airlerons and stuff or just left and right wings, main fuse and tail and then cut it up later>?

I'm guessing just cut it up but ya never know if people have found it easier a different way.

Any other words of wisdom at this point in the game>?

I have played with Lofting but could never get it looking quite right.

Also as i go over drawing my spline the image that is mapped on the plane and the plane itself disapeers and reapears for no aparent reason>?

Why is that.?

Jesus freaking christ is that ever annoying it disapeers right before i have my point exactly where i want it only to reapeer after i have placed it.

man its pissing me off.

I'm going to have to clean up my spline work but this lofting stuff is pretty cool.

Got my basic shape but I'm going to redo it with better splines next time I have the time.

Maybe tommorow.

Thanks again tail.

How do I apply smoothing shading BTW>? Not somthing that addes verticies but just the shading that SDOE uses to make stuff look better then they really are.
