Your such a negativist, mc-fleury...

Really nice model so far. I like it... and I dont care wether it looks like a chopper or not... as long as you are acheiving what you are wanting. And about your computer... it makes me sad because you barely outshoot me... i have 3.2gig HT processor, with 2 gigs of dual channel ram.

Cheers, user added image

Well, I do believe that it is possible for one to create their own type of vehicle, even if it is fictional.

Nobody felt like avenging your death. Sorry.

custom textures

Hello every one!! I am working on the Chopper again, I have just finished a tutorial on creating textures and I have done some work with the chopper. I am very excited about it. I know things are not quite right yet, but I am working on them. any C&C would be greatly apriciated!!

Thanks for all the comments, I would not be this motivated to work on this stuff without all of the great support that every one here at SM provide!!

Thanks again!!

I dont know if I am going to keep this flame job for sure, I am going to work on some hand drawn custom flames and try to photoshop those a little bit, maybe I can get a better effect for them. as far as the wheels go, they are still just place holders, I am trying to find some wheels that I like and then I will build them to this model.

okay I have just spent the last 20 hours strait redoing my custom flame job, and adding a little kick to my wheels. I am liking the results that I have come up with but I will leave it all for you to decide how it looks. let me know, C&C is always welcome here!

Thanks

I like the new flames a lot better than the old ones, but they look a little too repetitive on the part below the seat imo...

some lighting!!

hello every one, I just thought I would post a new image, I have been playing with lights. the model is looking good so far. I thought that I might put it inside of garage, maybe build some tool boxes and stuff. hey does any one know where I might find a good tutorial for creating tires or maybe some one could tell me how to do it. Thanks for all the comments!!
