Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping
In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

what I was thinking was of maybe cuttiing the front end up into seperate panels, especially were the cock pit is, by using extract then working on them individualy?

Just an idea!!

Still a little lumpy going to do some work on the back give my eyes a rest from the front but will get back to it, think the door need redoing.............dave

Edit:started on the main prop gear will not be smoothing to save on polys(not going for full detail)

Bit of a night mare trying to work out what parts look like for the main rotor, if I could understand it better I would try and rig it..........dave

Wish I could help...think I made it up really when I did mine. I'll have a check through my refs later. (On mobile atm)


edit...nah. Nothing good on the main rotor. Have this for the back one though, which isn't bad I guess...

The ref I worked mainly off for my hind was all on one web page which I bookmarked and referred too, rather than saving the images and opening them in Maya. Think they're on my vista...I'll see if they still exist later.
