Model-WIP: Blackbird . . . er, help?

Buddysingsing · Post by **Buddysingsing** » Fri Jun 23, 2006 12:42 am

I suddenly had the idea that halo needed a vehicle for those who, like me, vastly enjoy using a vehicle to sneak up behind their opponent, dump a rocket down their throat, and zip away before they realize that they just got owned. I began by baseing this loosely on the Blackbird from Battlestar Galactica, then just decidid to make a replica of the **** thing. It was only AFTER I finished the model that I realized that I had no friggin' idea of what to do next. I checked the tutorials and gave it a google, and both came up dry. I think that there was a bit of a tutorial of how to make a vehicle...for xbox...on halo 2. So if anyone could point me in the direction of a VERY detailed tutorial (no abbreviations, all I know about is modeling and rudimentary level creation) it would be helpfull. Or you could offer to finish it for me, but I'm not holding out on that possibility. Besides, it would be handy to know how. And of course, pictures. (btw, no skin yet, tried and it looked like it got put in the blender)

Hope you like them!

Sorry i dont know but i just wanted to say how sweet that thing is. If u do get it in, make it so it has a plasma blue flame come out the back and goes really fast! So they will never catch you.

The idea is to have it NOT stick out, so... OOOOOH! idea! the light from the engines could be far inside them so that it can only be seen when you are doing the run-away portion of the bombing run. You know, they can't see you coming, but after you turn around, you can see it. O...M...G... I just realized that I didn't bolean holes for the rockets to come out of. meh, it is 4:20 am, and i am out of Bwals, so I will fix later.

Just a small tip, you might want to try using methods other than boolean. It tends to make the model messy and cause some problems...

Other than that, it looks pretty good.

Er, fairly sure I said this in my origional post, but it is the "Blackbird" for Battlestar Galactica. you can find pics of it at http://www.vipertown.net/photogallery.php?album=9
and by the way, I added the missile tubes, put them right under the fuselage, they are only visable in the last pic . . . What the heck, I'll post the file, just for the fun of it. If HK-47 skins it, I will post pics of that (if he dosn't beat me to it)
