Jesus this board is really quiet lately. Take a look at this (attached image), its my sub project in its current state.

Very nice sub, what'd you use? quad patches? nurbs?
Pottering about with some GTA3 modeling myself... gack it's tricky.

I used 3D Max, no nurbs or any of the new age hippy crap

just regular polygon modelling. Used a few lofts here and there, a few boolean subtractions, some raytraced textures, volume lights etc etc

sweet deal sub ... but can it touch its nose with its tongue????

my sub can.. unfortunatly that's all it can do and it ended up sinking.... but it was all in good fun!

Aha!
Yep - can't beat the sheer tidyness of polymoddling.
It's just that it looks so smooth, nice curves... did you meshsmooth? or is it just clever texturing?
I love the funky curves of editable quad patches, but it gets quite messy.
Are you keeping it as a max project? or is that sub making its way into a game of some sort?

Its going to go into a short avi clip for college. We recently started our end of year project which is based on a medeival theme. I'm the head of the graphics team so you can be sure it will look very pretty

I think we should have a CG Art board tbh beacuse this isn't really a game is it?

Yeah, I know there's a good few people into dabbling with 3d stuff around here, although I think the Art/Anim board covers CG stuff aswell... but this board generally talks more about modelling than art/anim.
