Introduction to Maya - Modeling Fundamentals Vol 1
This course will look at the fundamentals of modeling in Maya with an emphasis on creating good topology. We'll look at what makes a good model in Maya and why objects are modeled in the way they are.

And also when it goes to "hover mode" the jets will come out like this.
Certainly looks a little more mean.

Kevin - Yes great idea, i'll have to play with some things, maybe similar to the big metal tubes found on trucks, suvs, and brians jeep = O
Eagle - You simple make a hubcap, then make a poly strip, in the shape of the tire of a few treads. Then move the origin/rotate point of that object to the hubs exact center. the duplicate with rotation and the number of duplicates and amount of rotaion (on the axis the hub would turn...)
hold on this is hard to explain lemme post some pics

MODS will i be get a lower score so to say than a vehicle specifically designed for, lets say ICE?
This is how i see it, i just want to make sure that this won't come up last minute:
It is extreme to say the least. And I say has a specific purpose. This is transporting people through any type of enviroment, with the ability to EVEN hop a big wall, river, or a minefield if it wanted too! The ability to get something from anywhere to anywhere is a very useful and specific task.

A good resource is the Gnomon free tutorial on tessellation.
https://www.the-gnomon-workshop.com/t...sselation.html
Tessellation is the process by which a computer converts NURBS surfaces into triangular polygons at render time.
The one thing you missed in the tire tutorial is that after you play around with the degree of rotation and number of duplicates, once you get it almost perfect if you snap the front vertices of the original polygon shape to the back of a duplicate, then erase the duplicates and reduplicate your poly shapes will line up perfectly. At this point all you have to do is select all your tire surfaces, go into component mode, select all the vertices and go to Polygons>Edit Polygons>Merge Vertices at a distance of 0 (also default) and you will have one poly tire shape.
One more note is that if you already know how many degrees your tread cross section will take up you can build it from a wedge shape of that angle.
