My first complex model - Wingull

Hi all. This is my first "real" foray into the world of building my own 3D model for releasing to the world at large. :D I'm currently in the unfolding part of it all and will make updates as I go along.

More women on the forum, YEA! I like the perspective you bring and who wants to hang around guys all day long

Model looks great too.

Thanks for the greetz everyone. :D

I don't mind hanging out with the guys.. I work in an evironment where there is only one other woman amongst 30 odd men. It's all very familiar and (believe it or not) safe.

Oh, and Wingull is a Pokemon creature. He's no: 278 in the pokedex.

Anyway, here is some updates. I did a trial build and found lots of problems. I started at the wrong section, so that when I finished it, it was difficult to get the glue in. Gave up after a while. LOL (If you look closely, you'll see the gap behind the wing)

There were some really weird fold lines and places that I managed to overlap, the wings either need to be shortened or supported and my mesh is definitely not straight, in any sense of the word. :o

Now, with some help from my pokemon mad son, I'm do some alterations for the next trial build. Once I have something that I like, then I'll build the legs. No point until then, as they will just be flat doublesided things that hang off the bottom.

Cheerio for now.

Pokemon! Okay, now I know...Great Job for your second? design!

Hi Phil. Yes, second.. sort of. I made a "cup" accidently, then quickly unfolded it to see how the software works. It doesn't really count.

Is that the Black Pearl in your Avatar?

That is interesting. I had thought it was a satillite (I do know know Pokemon)

That's pretty cool Mandy! Keep it coming. I have some neighbor kids that are way into Pokemon. I'm considering building a bunch of the models for them.
