I like the Space Trooper shuttle FragMe, hmmm, I'm sensing this might have something to do with your pre-view Space Trooper from way earlier.

Very nice Plo Koon, Manderek. The head must've been fun to UV eh? Great addition to SWBF, and far superior to the Reskin of Palpatine (which is a great reskin, but the model it self does make a poor Plo-Koon).

Thanks a lot! :D I must say that the face was most awesome to do: especially since the head is like 98% the picture.. Seeing the end result really gave me a good feeling :yes:

Anyway here is something I have been working on lately. It is a Gamma Class Assault Shuttle.
To save you from having to rush off to Wookiepedia, it appeared in XWing Alliance and was used to deploy Zero G Stormtroopers and that is all I am going to say at the moment. For those modeling curious types, the main body is one cube.

@obiboba3po
You can make fancy bottles/bowls/cups or whatever easily by following this tutorial:
http://www.digitaltutors.com/store/video.php?vid=606

http://softimage.wiki.avid.com/xsidocs/ ... ndAxes.htm
It'll probably be best to use the:
Create>Poly. Mesh>Revolution Around Axis
method or else you'll need to convert Nurbs to Mesh afterwards.

If any admin's or moderators want wireframes PM me

reason being, I used boolean on some portions of the model some some parts are triangulated, but anyone with alot of XSI experience would know the difference between how a boolean cut looks and how an imported wirefram looks

No need for PMs, wireframes are required in this topic from now on for everyone.
If you made the model then there's nothing to hide and it shouldn't matter if you post a wireframe in public view.

just another project I've been working on. Just something I decided to do to challenge myself :D I'm not as good as most people on here, but it doesn't matter for this. This isn't for any map in particular, and if anyone wants to turn it into a real ghost then just ask.
