WIP Jetpack - 3D

[xhimpei]

Hello all

Just started work on jetpack model, as I can't post in 3D forum, I've stuck the thread here (perhaps some kindly mod can shift it to it's proper place?) Anyway Here it is so far, reference images pinched from this thread







Just blocking out basic shapes for the most part, at the moment. I can already tell this model is going to be a pain in the rear to complete. . .

I guess im too late then:P Looking great! Now I don't have to worry about having to make the jetpack model at the same time as school:P

Btw, Man where did you get those reference pictures?:3

Haha sorry, dude - didn't think anyone else was giving this a shot at the moment, didn't mean to step on your toes.

There's a link in my first post as to where I pinched the reference pictures from.

re: Ka5p3r, That's a pretty good idea, I may well do that in the final stages of the model just to get it right. More focused on getting the details right at the moment, though as there's a lot more going on in this piece that I initially thought. going to be tough to get it up to the standards of some of the other work I've seen on the forums. . .

A wee update. Had a good look at the model, and it's going to be in a good few parts. a good few complicated parts. got the "legs" of the backpack done, now (apart from mirroring the sub-objects) and i'm pretty pleased with it. Comments/Crits?

I can tell this is going to be a lot of fun in pep but like usual it'll only take me about 10 minutes to make a pep file, Xhimpei I'm going to send you a PM to see about having something done.

Strong work! Not sure if this is the right direction but pep seems fine but this in a slice'd form to me would be nice. Would allow for foam (light weight) to be instituted for the bulk of it with options to add the details or even be part of them for the CNC'rs and such out there. Just an option!

Cheers, buddy! Noobish question, but what dyou mean by "sliced" form?

Also, check your PM's, Nintendude

Sliced form is another way of doing pepakura files by making "slices" of a 3D Model think of sliced cheese. People are able to take these slices and trace the slices onto cardboard or foam board and then cut the pieces out and glue the slices together to make a solid part.
