F-18 Hornet WIP
-
@Radium - I’ve used Blender…and Poser, and DAZ Studio, and Bryce, and a few others. We may work different, but I know how it works.
-
@Stevie In this case, let’s wait for okayasugf first results, to make critics
-
@Radium supporting free software is important for the growth of BMS…
We can’t continue to pay personal licenses for something that isn’t professional usage…
-
I forseen it.
So it means that soon 3dsMax support will be over.
I better rush to finish everything before I can’t work anymore
because there is no way I will use Blender by any means.
Copy that.

@Stevie you’re right, im going for the super hornet, but its still in the primitive stage. intakes are fine for the super hornet if thats what looks off to you
-
@Radium thats not how it is radium, i’ve used 3dsmax on a friend’s account and it is the premier 3d modelling software. Nothing will beat 3dsmax in production quality. But the whole need of blender support is for primitives(buildings,ground targets) and if possible in the future, whole airframes. But i still think we are a long way off from that. Your 3d models will and always will be the standard and an inspiration. I took up 3d modeling just because of your highly impressive work for the BMS community. So don’t worry about blender support as it will never overtake professional workflows. I feel it is a messy software myself even after using it for a whole year. But for beginners it is easier to get into.

@Stevie
i think this is what you’re looking for, the camera angle was misleading haha -
@MaxWaldorf - Agreed. And I particularly HATE subscription based software.
-
@okayasugf - Ok - yes. This is a Super Hornet…specifically an F/A-18E model. Not a Hornet.
I’ve been working on RL Hornet Series jets for 30+ years, so Hornet vs Super Hornet mean two specifically different things to me!
-
@Stevie
just finished the nozzles -
@okayasugf - Progress!

I never said that…

@Aragorn No you don’t get it :

I absolutely hate everything about Blender, from ergonomy of modeling to material management or unwrapping… Everything of Blender is to me rubbish and messy.
-
Since Blender is a freeware, my fear that one day, dev team decides to make it the software of choice for BMS.
-
Then, especially with upcoming PBR and other 3D modeling assets, 3dsmax may become obsolete, and we may not be able to update models that were made in the past.
So, my worry is not really about Blender itself, it’s more the probability that 3dsmax could become obsolete.
Radium
My friend you are too much worried. We have an exporter from 3DMax to BML and we will keep support it as long as possible, depends mostly on maintaining the exporter for supporting newer 3DMax versions. Blender support is a cool thing that seems like wanted by many, we will support both! The internal model format of BMS must anyway be fast and efficient so we can’t use a 3D program format, and must have exporters, so as long as these exist, there is no reason (nor will) to loose support.

Hello,
Sorry for being worried about that . I misread the lastest post, understanding that 3dsMax would become obsolete.
If both exporters are maintained, that’s really perfect !
It would then please both communities.
Again, sorry for my misunderstanding.

Fixed some errors in the mesh, its making its way there
-
@Radium - Have you tried DAZ Studio? It’s free, you can free-model with it, and it’s much simpler to use than Blender…may work for you.
All Blender may be doing for you (really) is giving you more options for file Export types - need to cross-check.
-
@okayasugf - that’s shaping up to be a Super Hornet, alright!
-
@Stevie i’ve used it but it doesnt have all the addons that i need during my modeling workflow, so i stick with blender because it works pretty good for what i need, plus more tutorials on blender than daz 3d lol
-
@okayasugf - I’ve seen some stuff on doing accurately toleranced 3D prints using Blender…can’t wait to try that. Need a 3D printer first.
-
@Stevie lol i don’t understand your post… I feel very fine with Sketchup Pro and 3dsMax I don’t need any kind of other 3D software.
