Have a look at the image below. I have smoothed some of the model but it has rounded all of the edges (I knew it would), but if I ask it to keep hard edges it doesn't really smooth...

What do you do?

Just pm if you need more details.

I cannot see myself doing any more work to my plane just yet since I am in the middle of another big project which I am still rendering.

But I would very much love to finish off my Hurricane, Mr Ugly, Doggie and Eryops when I have the time...

Perhaps I should go on a Maya holiday :attn:

Theres some nasty flickering going in the mental ray rendering, but i'm not gonna render it out again. I think its good enough for the demo reel.

Nice work mate and great seeing it for sale on TurboSquid.

How did you render it anyway? HDRI? Ambient Occlusion? I know you used mental ray but I have never learnt how to do this.

My only criticism of this is the glass. It is way to 'squeaky' clean - grub it up a bit with some turbulence or a factual, especially around the frames.

Boy I should get around to finishing that Hurricane of mine...

Good work on that model, I would think that $140 is a bithigh compared to others on there.
