Betty9

Havent had the time to do much modeling because of real life work, but here is a small update.

Betty8

Small update. This cone thingy was harder to make than I thought. Progress is very slow, cos I have to do a poopload of vertex moving and cutting and cleaning and merging.

Betty7

Have started on the big giant cone. Here's a wire with the reffs I use. I also use various pics I have downloaded from around the web.

Betty6

Some hydraulics.

Betty5

A little more done. I have never done so much chamfering manually as I have done on this model. Its annoying.

Betty4

Latest progress. Forgot to alter the edge creasing in Carrara, so some of the edges looks a bit funky :)

Betty3

Some more done on Betty.

Betty2

Have gotten some more done. I almost regret I started this thing, already. Not exactly uplifting for future progress I must say :) I mostly need to move everything manually....... mostly :D

Betty

I need a break from Invidia. So I am going to have a go at making Betty from Alien Resurrection instead. I have always wanted to make it, or try to make it, but never found any good enough reference pictures. Not until some days ago, on Foundation 3d. Treybor is his nick, and making sublime models is what he do. He had a thread with orthos of the Betty. I am going to use those as a source, so here goes.

What I got isn't much at the moment, but its many tries, and a lot of vertex moving to get it looking like this. The engine have a lot of angles that needed some close attention to get right.

Textures

Well, been busy with uv mapping. Until it hit me..... why the heck am I doing this? The panels will cover almost all the hull, and most of the texture will be hidden. Bloody hell.
