Modelling an Aircraft in XSI

Well here it is my aircraft modelling video tutorial. It goes throught the steps of polymodelling using subdivision a Polikarpov I16 Rata a little WW2 Russian fighter aircraft.

All the major steps are covered including the set up of image planes and the all the steps to create a fairly detailed aircraft model. There is no timelapse or cuts, its my modelling warts and all. By the end of the set you should have a good understanding on sub d modelling in XSI.

The set contains 14 lessons and you will need the TSSC codec to view the video's. The set i would say is suitable for beginners to sub d modelling but if you are completely new to modelling and XSI you might want to have a look at my beginners XSI set the Dreadnaught which is available here (http://www.3d-palace.com/index.php?page=tut1")

I have taken the decision to put them on rapidshare for now as they will be available to everyone and you should get a reasonable download speed. I am aware that they only let you download so many megs an hour if you use the free service but a months downloads is only about £4 which lets you download them all in a oner if you wish. And hey the vids are free anyhow so its not such a bad deal eh ?

Anyway i hope they are of some use to somebody as i think tutorials for this type of modelling are a little thin on the ground for XSI and if you like them i might even add to the set some more details and the UV mapping and texturing.

cheers

Paul

Excellent tutorial. It has been a great help with learning XSI.
You mentioned a tutorial on UV mapping and textures also, what's the progress? I'm very interested in seeing what you come up with.

Once again, thanks.

Yes i will be doing another set with this aircraft soon promise !!! UV's and texturing

i'm glad you like it !!
