Now I can become part of the squadron, and get lost in Nuniefication. :thumbsup:
I already started both but haven't got to the patching part of the head. So I'm going to post what I have so far of he Viper. :biggrin: Here goes!....

[DAVID WEBSTER]

Great modelling Pablo some fine nurniefication well done:clap: what an awesome brother you have Pablo and the spline head WOW look forward to that,great to have you onboard.
Regards Dave.

[richdj]

Pablo, stunning nurnies, I just love your take on them.. And it's good to have you aboard...

We'll need a model of Galactica doing, to house the squadren... Who's up for that...


Rich

[kevman3d]

I agree with Rich. Nice to have you on board, and like seeing yet another 'take' on ideas and nurnies...

I think people get more out of a tutorial if they're not just locked down into a 'copy the teacher step-by-step' regime and have the opportunity to put their own personal touch on a project without completely ignoring the core tutorial... That way you get the base skills, and base ideas - But you can grow on top of those while you work through them as well.

Nice. Once we're all done, there'll be a flight training briefing at 0800 hours NZST... :p

[DAVID WEBSTER]

Kev make it 0805 might have to refuel on route:biggrin:
Regards Dave

[Pablogrca]

Thanks guys!!! :wave: I like learning the new tools to get things done and making work flow easier, like the Bevel tool for instance, I've always used smooth shift, scale, and the move tools to get the same effect, but that was three tools instead of one, so now I'm hooked on bevel. The other tool I like a lot is the Translate Plus tool, I didn't even know LW had a tool like it. Cool. :cool:
Kev, your tutorilas are fantastic and very informative, I wouldn't say you waffle on about things either. :p

I plan to finish the viper and make a few different ships using the same technics you teach Kev. Kev Rocks :rockandro Thanks again...

[Pablogrca]

Hmmm, Galatica. Let me finish the viper and I'll try making it. I need pic's though. Also, who were the enemies of the show? Like the Klingons. Who was it for Battlestar Galactica??? :confused:

Yeah Dave my brother is a really cool and thoughtful guy, I can't thank him enough for the DVD's....Thanks bro!!! :wave:

[kevman3d]

Cheers JJ... Always thought it looked more like a Kilrathi from the 'Wing Commander' game... :biggrin:

I also have the classic '78 toy here from JoyRide (http://www.joyridestudios.com/bsg_3_stealth_raider.asp). Very cool - And all covered in Nurnies for you nurnie fanatics who are looking for a new modelling project to get your teeth into! :wink:

[Pablogrca]

Thanks Rich, JJ, and Kev. :biggrin:

[Pablogrca]

:wave: Ok, here are the lastest updates of my Viper. I'm almost done with it I kind of hate to finish it this fast because I enjoyed making it, but soon, TEXTURING! Can't wait....:thumbsup:

[Pablogrca]

And two more...:cool:

[DAVID WEBSTER]

:clap: Love those pipes Pablo and what an awesome gun,if i'm honest,i'm the same as you with this one, i do not want it to end, its a great DVD and again its given us another angle on how to model certain objects that maybe you would have given up on if you had to subpatch.
Bring on the texture pics :)
Regards Dave.

[kevman3d]

Wow! That's some serious plumbing... Nice.

If you wanted to keep modelling, then there's a tonne of other things you could build - Internal cockpit, something inside the nose inset, maybe gear bay doors, thin 'hydarulic' piping along the underside, ummm, that kinda thing.

However of course, don't overdo it if you can avoid it cause it can start to look a little silly if it gets too 'complex'. :biggrin:

[Pablogrca]

Thanks me ole matey, your a gentelman and a scholar. Damn you do think like me. Thats scary, there's two of us geriatric weirdos out there!!! :biggrin:

Kev, many thanks also. My plan was to model the Viper as close to your tutiledge as I could with out going over board. So this one I'm kind of holding back my imagination, so to speak. :biggrin:
I'm going to make another Viper a souped up one and the Cylon spacecraft too using your fine tutiledge. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again Kev :thumbsup:

[DAVID WEBSTER]

Only two of us i thought there was more:biggrin:
Regards Dave

[DAVID WEBSTER]

Pablo you now know the bad guys are called Cylons------did you know who their favourite singers are,wait for it--------Cylon and Garfunkel:rofl:
Regards Dave.

[DAVID WEBSTER]

:rofl: nice one.
Regards Dave.

[JasC33]

Nice Modeling,And Nurnies Pablo, great stuff.

[Pablogrca]

Hahahaha!!! Funny stuff Dave and Kev... :rofl:
Thanks Jason...:thumbsup:

[Pablogrca]

:wave: Ok I finished the Viper, it was educating and very easy and fun to make good job on the tutorials Kev. Since I'm finished and want to get to modeling the Cylons spacecraft. I'm going to try to texture the Viper using my own ideas first. I hope you don't mind Kev. I'll keep you posted on my progress...

[Pablogrca]

And the last two...:)

[richdj]

:rockandro Excellent work.....

[JasC33]

Looks fantastic Pablo.:thumbsup:I don't think kev would mind, if you textured it.

[DAVID WEBSTER]

Top draw Pablo,
a great looking model:rockandro and done so quick,well done my friend,now bring on the textures:drool:
Regards Dave.

[Joerg]

Really fantastic job Pablo! :buttrock:


JJ

[Pablogrca]

:wave: Thanks Rich, Jason, Dave, and JJ. I'm going to finsh the head model first then texture both...I'll keep you posted. :biggrin: Thanks again

[DeanB92]

Superb work! and a lot faster than Me!:clap:
Well done!
Dean

[kevman3d]

I'm going to try to texture the Viper using my own ideas first. I hope you don't mind Kev. I'll keep you posted on my progress...

Own ideas?! What the?!?@!?! :ranting:


lol! :wink: Just kidding! If you've unwrapped the ship into the various UV's, you should have a good base to work from.

Be curious to see where you go with that one...

BTW, very cool model. Its great to see people getting out and doing their own details, having a little fun - A good way to play with the tools and ideas as well...

[Pablogrca]

:wave: Thanks Dean and Kev. I'll try texturing it this weekend and make a post by Sunday. Thanks again...:thumbsup:

[DAVID WEBSTER]

Hey Pablo its Tuesday not seen anything yet :biggrin:
Regards Dave.

[Pablogrca]

:rofl: Yes I know it's Tuesday Dave :biggrin: ....Sorry I know I said I would be texturing the Viper this weekend but I got side tracked. (Saturday I went out shopping for the parts and Sunday I built it). I had to build another computer and a computer table for my youngest son (7). He always fights with his older siblings for rights to their computers so I gave in and built him his own, now he's a happy camper. Peace finally. Right now I'm working to finish the head then I'll go from there. :)
So Dave? How was your trip? Did you send us all post cards? It's been quiet here with out you, you big lug. Welcome back!!! Now you have to get your a** busy and finish your Viper. Your making the geriatric squadron wait, not a good thing at our ages. Dean can barely hold his water much less his poop. So hurry up. :biggrin:

[DAVID WEBSTER]

Kids eh, but i know what you mean with the computer thing my kids are the same.
The trip to Italy was wonderfull and nice to see family i have'nt seen for 28 years,little has changed.
Sorry Dean i know i'm slow keep your legs crossed for a bit longer.
Regards Dave.

[kevman3d]

:rofl: Yes I know it's Tuesday Dave :biggrin: ....Sorry I know I said I would be texturing the Viper this weekend but I got side tracked.

A likely excuse, I've heard that one before... You'd never catch me making promises, like getting a texturing DVD done by end of April, and then not delivering, now would you...

Oops, bad example! :biggrin:

He always fights with his older siblings for rights to their computers so I gave in and built him his own, now he's a happy camper.

Now it'll just be a fight for the dongle and LightWave you have to deal with, eh! :wink:

[Pablogrca]

??? Kev? you siad you were going to get a texturing DVD out by the end of April??? I didn't know that! :rofl: :nana:

Yeah, next they'll be fighting me for the dongle and LW....I'll be clutching it tightly in my greedy little hands, fighting them back with a stick...:rofl:

Dave 28 years.....Man, thats as bad as making your wife wait 14 years for the wall paper. :biggrin:

[richdj]

A likely excuse, I've heard that one before... You'd never catch me making promises, like getting a texturing DVD done by end of April, and then not delivering, now would you...

But you didn't say which year....

[kevman3d]

That's funny - Its exactly what my wife said too! :biggrin:

[Pablogrca]

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< VIPER POWER >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
:omg: It's Finished!!! I finally started texturing my Viper late yesterday and all last night, it's 6:15am here now and after countless renders and drawing up the maps I finally finished. I tried several ways that I know on how to texture and finally got things to line up. My drawing skills are a little rusty so it may not look very real but I'm happy with it for now. Anyway check it out. :biggrin:

[Pablogrca]

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< VIPER POWER >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

:tired: I've been at this for about 12 hours now. Time for bed...:tired:

The pic on the right is with Radiosity and the other isn't. I just wanted to show the cockpit better.:)

[Pablogrca]

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< VIPER POWER >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

And the last two.... It's been fun, now on to texturing the head. :biggrin:

[JasC33]

Looks Great Pablo, Well Done.:clap: Love The cockpit.:thumbsup:

[DAVID WEBSTER]

First class Pablo,it sure looks like its been on a few missions,the cockpit is awesome :buttrock: you have set a high standard of work for all of us to follow and you should have a big pat on the back for being the first,now we all wait to see what you will come up with re your head model.
The Viper Pimp King bows his head to you.:clap:

SPEECH!!! SPEEEEECH!!!
Ahem.....First of all I'd like to thank God for giving me courage and balls to take it one step further no matter what the conciquences may be. I'd also like to thank the academy, my agent, the producers, the director and the writers, and especially all my fans, for if it were not for them all this would not be possible....(clutching Oscar and crying...Sob Sob) :rofl: :rofl:
