This week I started modeling my other two ships, as I felt I had spent alot of time on the Venator and needed to try my other two choices. I quickly made a basic, 1st draft of both ships, seen below. Both are realtively easy to model in a basic format, the shapes being very simple too and I found this to do with ease.
Y-Wing Front
Y-Wing Back
Vulture Droid Draft
I made these two drafts with visual references. There aren't that many good pictures of the Vulture droid, but I found plenty for the Y-Wing.
In this weeks lecture Steve showed us how to import 'blueprints' and reference images into Max itself, in order to create more scaled and realisticly shaped objects. This was done by using the lign tool and simply dragging a image onto a plane object. I then used this technique on my 2nd Y-Wing, seen below.
As you can see, this one is more detailed, as I included details such as the turret, the R2 unit, more detail on the struts on the engine cylinders and the overall shape of the starship. Since the basic shape of the Y-WIng has been made on this version, I might use it as a template for my final model.
