hello all new guy

[genswat]

I been getting fustrated and trying to make objects for the flight sim IL2
and I have such passion for the game and been getting hooked on the 3d models.. but so many failures is making me a little3 discouraged...



this is my attempt @ it the U.S90mm M1/M2/ AAA

these have to be low poly objects I have 210 polys so far 500 is total with all 3 lod's shadows damage models n complete model

but I think I need something easier to go threw all the motions there is so much involved with 3d models for the airplanes in IL2 but almost the same as ground objects also but 3 LOD's needs level of details instead of 5 for planes


Guys do you think you could come up with something ww2 that I could work on as a project.... doesnt matter plane ground target what not or any suggestions to get me more practice doing these type of things... and guide me threw as I make progress of my [W.I.P.]


the main goal is to refine and build my modeling skills not so much to get it all right for Il2 importing at the momment

I really love to get to the degree of some of the modelrs here

Welcome Genswat! My advice would be to just pick something you like, a tank or plane and start modelling. Don't start to model for a game engine at first, because that is a bit to specialized at the start. Better is to just experiment and try to get all the shapes right.
