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.

I've have a list of the things i've been told to change by my acting 'boss' (my ex-tutor):
The lollypop stick blades are too short. Need to add about another 'inch' to them all.
EDit: Almost forgot, I've been asked to strengthen or add support to the front wood struts.
Change the front wheels a bit to give a more interesting shape.
Get rid of a few 5-siders i missed (
doh)Apart from that he said it was looking good, so hopefully I'll be able to begin UV'ing later this afternoon. UV'ing will take about 2 days (I might do 2 sets - 1 normal/occ and 1 for colour/gloss).

Just sorted the rotor blades out... to me they look a bit too long now but when I look back at my previous renders they did look short before. Ho hum. :/
Worked a tiny bit on the wheels but not happy with them so I'll play a bit further with them when I've placed the new support beam. I'll do another render later when I'm officially 'done'.

yeah I saw this, nice design. My only gripe are those blades, they look like icepop sticks. longer and thinner are gonna improve those. Get some gyrocopter references, like Little Nelly' from James Bond
Otherwise nice

No I haven't, like most people I dont check every posting made, despite being part of admin. This particular posting came to me via PM from Petrol himself to get a more honest opinion on the whole model. I kind of got the idea of what it was made of anyhow, but to justify this taking off I felt it needed to have longer, and perhaps more flexible blades like that of a gyrocopter.
Many thanks for your heads up though, I'll look before I leap next time...
Cheers
Jay

That made me chuckle. Yeah this this is supposed to be a balance between fantasy and reality. A bit like stuart little or similar. I'll extend the lolly sticks a bit further, but I cant change them as they are part of the concept. Cheers for taking a peek for me dude.
Oh by the way severinianthony, they are indeed casters for a chair or something similar like a cabinet. As it happens they look a lot like my computer chair's wheels too

Roll on the texturing - looking forward to some normal mapping now.
