My first model (added more parts)

[Ryn]

I\'m new to blender, so be gentle, But can you offer some advice ( textures are a bit of a placeholder )

Um.. well here goes !

Just the cockpit, Of course

[Tosh]

It will look good with a right texture

No advices yet but to keep right on)

[Ryn]

Well, To be honest i\'m just plain bad with texturing, Plus I don\'t have PS or anything, GIMP is a pain in the arse and im not much of a pirate so I don\'t know what software to even start with ( I used MS paint for what I have now x-x )

I envy anyone who can make complex shapes like that - they absolutely baffle me...

Try Blender itself. View->Image painting in UV map window, <N> to open brush settings panel.

Paint.NET is another free one. Again, it\'s no Photoshop, but it\'s a little easier than GIMP IMO.

That actually means a lot to me I love your addons , Having you compliment mine made my day lol

And Ill try painting in blender then

Results below

Now to play with the CFG a bit , Make a body, Forward-swept wings a Mig-29 IRST - Esq Advanced SAS , main body , engines ..... one at a time *gulp*

Ill fiddle with the textures more once I\'m happy with the attach locations

[Tiberion]

Looking nice, a set of body pieces to match that will be really swell. Might chop the nosecone off to make it the ASAS module, usually nice and out of the way up there.

[Ryn]

Well I was thinking I would make an IRST pod and use that as the ASAS, I may well do both though

Added a basic body and wings

[Ryn]

IRST Advanced SAS is working now

Excellent progress. The new texture looks great

How does one make winglets? I don\'t know the names / method I\'m supposed to use to parent the movable surface with

You can import any .DAE into Blender to see what the part (e.g. a winglet) is made of. See here if .DAE fails to import.

I took apart C7\'s found out how its OBJ_base and OBJ_ctrlSrf

Now they move the wrong way, But C7 gave me an idea on how to fix it- Ill see when I get home from work
