    [Model] B-17 Model

    Now, here's a model of a WWII B-17 Flying Fortress Bomber. It has no interior, but I included a file formatted for Max if anyone wishes to make one. It's been subdivision modeled, so it might be a little hard to work with. Still needs UVing and a texture, but otherwise complete, as I know how to do neither.

    Yes, the lighting looks funky, but that's Wings 3D for ya.

    EDIT: Model slightly tweaked.

    Looks nice. Just so everyone knows, Explosive's a friend of mine off Halomods (not of the noob variety).

    He made an M1 Abrams too, he might post pics... maybe?

    You're on TSL? No kidding? Whoa. Small world, I guess. I didn't remember your name, because I don't really spend much time there.

    Also, for those of you who are not familiar with Wings 3D, it has no smoothing, unless you tell it to. I never use it, because it always screws stuff up. If you're talking about "smoothing groups", Wings has nothing of the sort. Just "soft edges" which do basically the same thing, and are on by default. Whatever errors you see should be fine ingame. It's far too triangulated to fix now. I lost the untriangulated version.

    *finds the "untriangulate" feature*
    Oh.

    I tweaked the model slightly, but that problem seems to come up endlessly. However, it should look absolutely fine ingame, if anyone plans on using it.

    Get 3DS or at the very least Gmax the moment you get your new PC working. It'll be interesting to see what you can do with that.

    Select the edges and set the softness to 0.

    The only settings are "soft" and "hard". Nothing further.
