WIP: F-14 B/D
-
Hello, nice start of the project!
However :
- Please remember that you will need 3dsmax to export your files into BMS ;
- You will need .3ds to configure ptypes and materials ;
- You will need .3ds for animations (DOF) ;
- You will need .3ds for switches…
It’s a nice idea to start with Blender, however, allow me to suggest you not to waste too much time on Blender. I suggest you to export your work ASAP on 3dsmax, because it is THE only tool that supports Waveydave excellent plugins.
Best regards, good luck for our Tomcat,

What I meant was: since you don’t know me, that I understand if you are not sure you can trust me when I state that I made the model myself and that it is all my own work.My model is further along, but not a whole lot. I built it to play around in a little 3d engine I’ve been building. It’s basically programmer art. I’d be happy to donate it to BMS, but since you are using this project to learn blender it probably won’t really save you any time.
Alright got ya. That’s cool man my paranoia doesn’t go that far :). Would gladly take a look at your model, additional input never hurts.

Cool. That is the feedback I was looking for. Thanks for the info Radium.
Will continue using Blender for the ‘rough’ outline and then move it to 3ds before adding any of the fancy stuff :).

Great news, stingray, it was time to get a pretty nice birdie which made the history of naval aviation… and made its figure in that silly movie too, in spite of all odds.
If I could, I’ll give you a hand with the little I can do.Best wishes and regards,

Looking good man!
Are you going to create it in BMS specs?

WoW:bdance:

Perfect timing, I am starting a db from scratch with only new models. Quality over quantity, something they did not quite understand at F4UT.

Bottom side of the fuselage with upper intake connection pieces between fuselage and engine pods. Grumman’s design details are just awesome - even today.
Great starting work!!!
keep it there mate. And sounds great that you will be inside the BMS specs!!!
That means that we will enjoy your work when you will finish it…

OK guys, I just got 3ds Max up and running. Will continue the hard surface modeling in Blender until the rough model stands. Then I’ll move it cleaned up to Max for rigging and animations as well as the textures and mapping. Keep ya posted.
I’m about to merge the engine pods with the glove box…

Sting, from someone that loved the ship (with wings that is), from the early 80’s and that had such a great influense on many people (manga, anime, movies), I would really love to see your work finished. Take your time and enjoy yourself. Thank you.
Cheers~

Nikos.It was on my to do list for at least 5 years, I figured it was about time. It is going to take months or maybe even years though. Objectives/features is what will take most of that time.

Finally an F-14 model that we can use! Thanks Stingray, it looks great, you don’t need any help, but if you need anything let me know. Awesome job.
