RAF Coastal Command B-17s

[NightHawk]

thet soft looks primitive.

 

[cheddar cheese]

What?

 

[JCS]

I think he means software...

 

[cheddar cheese]

Oh I think Maestro did say that he made that a while back though, not sure how long though.

 

[Maestro]

I would think its easier to do single engined planes? And I would expect you to do a Spit Mk.IX

Heh... I thought about it. But it's easyer to make a bomber instead of a fighter (because fighters got a LOT more curves, especialy the Spitfire).

NightHawk, I made this model during the school year 2001-2002, I was using AutoCAD 2000i. (But I'm using AutoCAD 2000 at home.)

And if ever you wonder why textures looks like crap, it's because AutoCAD is only a modeling software, not a texturing software.

 

[JCS]

I have AutoCAD LT 98 (old, I know) on my comp. I've only played around a few times on it, been too lazy to figure out how to use it.

 

[NightHawk]

well i am going to download 3dmax 6.maya 6.and rhino 3.
soft=software.

 

[cheddar cheese]

Why dont you say software then, cos soft is a totally different word


Yeah I got ProDesktop2000i2, Its a bit tricky to get to grips with but im getting there And I hope I do get there, cos I kinda need it for my Graphics GCSE I made a Stick Grenade at school once, I will attempt another one later

 

[Maestro]

You're only 15 and you already get a grafic course at school ?

Damm, we only had two courses in high-school concerning computers : the first one was about everything related to a secretary job (Word, Exel, Powerpoint...) and the second one was more about programing (Visual Basic, Web site building...). They were both "optional" courses.

 

[cheddar cheese]

Ah. We're a technology college, and I enjoy Graphics. Its most fun

 

[Maestro]

Yeah, it's true that drawing things with a computer is fun. I still do it even if I left the Industrial Drawing course at college.

 

[cheddar cheese]

Its so much easier too. And a lot faster.

 

[JCS]

I was thinking about taking a graphics course last year when I signed up to go to a trade school, I chose Diesel Mechanics instead though. I probably would've ended up screwin' around on the computer all day anyway if I took that course.

 

[Maestro]

It would have depended on if you were good at computer or not. Like I was, I was doing a 3 hours job in 1:30 or 2 hours. I spent the rest of the morning (or afternoon) talking with other students, helping them if I could.

But most of them who were not very famillar with computers finished the job just in time.

 

[cheddar cheese]

I tend to do that, but when I finish I dont go round helping others, I just come on here...

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i took electronics, much more usefull, i'm the one you'll have to call if your computer breaks.............

 

[Maestro]

Ironically, you're the one who has the oldest computer of us all...

 

[cheddar cheese]

No lanc, it was also clearly stated that Electronics was by far the easiest Design Technology course I dont think you took it for your reason

 

[Concorde247]

any pics of B-17s in coastal command colours would be greatly aprechiated, thanks.....................

How about these apples? 8)
