Need a tutorial on jets
Hello guys! I am doing 3D since the end of 2018 self taught and I've learned a lot so far. Most of the times I figured out problems all by myself or with the help of certain tutorials (bought or youtube). I feel comfortably with modeling a lot of objects by myself alone. However, I am struggling with jets. Currently I'm… -
Re: Need a tutorial on jets
Sry for chiming in a bit late, however I'd suggest following the advice offered by @Dihemi your mesh has too many faces for manual editing so decimate until you've a much lower polycount which will make things a tad 'easier' blocking in a basic shape before moving onto further defining the object's individual details. Plus… -
Re: Need a tutorial on jets
With complex vlumes, and assuming you don't have access to, or don't know boolean modeling methods (there should be plugins for that in Blender), I usually try to blockout with JUST planes, and connect the forms afterwards. This is similar, to me, to how illusrtators willmake sure a silhouette works and is locked in before… -
Re: Need a tutorial on jets
Thanks for the answer! I haven't given up on this topic, just had a lot to do in between. I will listen to your guys advices but also start with a less complex jet first and then build my way up there. :) Thanks for the links btw! Cool stuff! -

Re: Need a tutorial on jets
Yes I still work on this! The main part is the hardest thing to archive. At the moment I don't even bother the wings and other structurs because they are so easy to model. So far I got this: At the moment I can't get any closer. Im just not there yet skillwise. Though I am fixing the bottom side to get a little higher. -
Re: Need a tutorial on jets
I'd say that for a block you could go a few steps back; keep your shapes' topology as simple as possible, doesn't have to be a continuos mesh either; you can use a separate elongated sphere for the "window" for example, clipping the mainframe. Using those contours, when they properly align with the blueprint/reference, to… -
Re: Need a tutorial on jets
Hello Dihemi! Appreciate your help. :-) Yes I did. I usually always blockout first. This time however I try to focus more on the shapes... Maybe I overthink it a bit? I don't know. This is my scene so far: I've done multiple starts already just to get to some shape. May I just don't realy feel secure of doing it. Right now… -
Re: Need a tutorial on jets
Hello Marlo, You could start with looking for some blueprints (drawingdatabase.com / the-blueprints.com) online if you already haven't, there are plentiful of resources on fighter jets, providing you with multiple views (front, top, sides) and should give you a good idea about their shape. Other than that, start with a… -
Re: Need a tutorial on jets
Still working on this! At the moment I don't bother about the wings and smaller structurs because the main part of the plane is so hard to match. Everything else on the other hand seems fairly simple. At the moment I got this: I can't get it any closer to it. Im not there yet skillwise. Though I am working on the bottom to…
