WIP Sparrow Hawk

I don't think that shroud around the fan needs to be so high poly.

if you want it to look good then yes it does :-D

not too bad for a start. are u using this image for reference?

I would suggest using a custom animated shader for the prop blades. It will save you some poly's in the end.

don't listen to this guy ^

You can still make it look good with a fraction of the polys on that thing.

Tbh. I can't write out an in-depth explanation right now, but you can use a ~blur permutation in the model once it is done. This is used both on the Warthog and Scorpion to make their wheels/treads switch to blurred bitmaps when moving - you could use the same system to switch shaders (or even geometry if you want to have say, stationary be fully modeled-on and moving a single plane with a shader) when the fans are in action.

whered you rip the cockpit interior from

also, its a half decent start, but its nowhere near good.
and what the FUCK at those fans.

I don't know if this will be useful or not, but in my line of work two different perspectives are better than one. Below is a picture of a quick Sparrowhawk model I began working on right after the Sparrowhawk was revealed for Halowars. I am not going to finish it. If you want the model for an extra reference on scaling, you are welcome to it. Just contact me via PM and I will email it to you. By saying this, I am not stating that my model is better. You model looks out of proportion in some ways (as I am sure mine does as well). Perhaps having an extra vantage point might help it get better.

Anyways, if you are interested let me know. Otherwise keep it up.

He didn't "rip" those interiors from anywhere he made them himself:fuckoff:
Why must you persistantly act like he's a bad modder like a few that may be about.
I know this person personaly and i know full well he made those interiors himself.
