Hi Oleg. Are you still interested in models of French cars?

Hi Buster_Dee. Nice looking cockpit you have made

I am myself only a hobby modeler and also got started about 5 years ago. I have been working with Lightwave all the time and I have learned how it works by doing a lot of tutorials.
Don't know if I have the right brain to pick Haven't really gotten my work into any gameengine as of yet and now I have to go back to basics with a new 3D program..

But you have bought the best 3D program ever. Its very easy to learn and the setup of the whole package is very logical. You will have no trouble getting out great looking models like your cockpit and Lightwave will make it easy to manage.. Good luck..

[Buster_Dee]

Thanks HenFre. I just ordered some books on it--that should help. I hadn't done any mapping or layer creation in Lightwave. I was trying to figure out how to "finish up" in Lightwave, not make from scratch, so not much is making sense yet. I wanted to adjust existing UV mapping, add layers, convert alpha masks, copy/modify extisting structure. no real tutorial on that kind of stuff per se.

Good luck on the project.

Buster_Dee if you have some concrete problem that you would like some help with, then you can pm me and I will trye to help you.

What books have you bought? I myself have read many books on how to use and it is a great way to learn the basics. But for the best result I got hold of some videotutorials from SimplyLightwave and they payed of bigtime. It just gives you great insight into how the workflow is in Lightwave and it gives you visual guide to how the different tools work. So it comes highly recomended by me. The only drawback is that it costs money

Hello all..

Since Oleg and the team behind SOW:BOB is to busy to make an update I will provide you with a small one of my own. I have for the past months been learning how to use 3DS max and this is what i have made so far:



The car is still the Citroën AC4 and the objects is about 90% done. UV-mapping and texturing still to come..
The yellow object is the fuelpump called S.A.T.A.M. 1932 and here is a couple of reference shots:





That is all for now.. Big thanks to Foo'Bar for teaching me how to do the tricky parts Anybody else got an update to show?

Can I just say how refreshing it is to see a thread like this? Thank you very much.

Hey HenFre,

How big is your development team ? It must be bigger than Oleg's, if we look at the frequence of your updates ).

You're welcome, mate

I have some updates on german freight cars. Not much but at least it is an update See the new "Ommr Villach" open freight car (2nd from the right on image).



More about that on my hp as usual, click on sig to get there.

Great work Henfire, well done mate, lets hope Oleg uses your obvious talent.

I've seen a video of them doing it in black shark, so who's going to be the first to land their Tiger Moth on a freight car in SOW?
