once again, the flying thingy....
now, I will work on a complete scene and make more experiments to find a
good metal texture for the objects...
comments/ideas welcome as usual.

> comments/ideas welcome as usual.
Has anyone noted that the wings look as if they are hanging almost
unconnected? Or maybe it's just me who think this.
It's a nice object! I just wanted to say this because you're going on to
texturing now... Btw, I don't know if the guns are a good addition. The more
additions, the more confusing look. It's somehow less clear now (just a
little).
Regards,
Hugo

I think those are counter rotaters or whatever the term is for little jets
that make sure the body doesn't rotate. I could be wrong though.

You're right...I tried to put the holes on the legs but it was not very
good, I put them on longer "arms" and it was not very good too...I
wanted to put them on the main elliptical shape but I thought they won't
be far enough from the center and so would have been useless...
It's true that now, the shape of the object is less "pure"...it took me
a long time to find something that will not destroy completly the main
aspect of it...
My design skills are really poor, I have a lot of work on this scene...
David.

While they are an improvement on the 'technical' side, the objects did look
better without them...
Suggestion: you could double-up the legs as counter-rotation thingeys by
integrating the airholes on on side up the upper legs?

It seems like there's enough room to put the air holes on the calf part of
the leg, the part between the feet and the knee.
I wish I had one of those to find my car keys in the morning.

Couldn't you just add an internal fly-wheel to take care of the
counter-rotation?
Well.... I say "add", but you'd have to be pretty obsessive to actually add it
;)

Wadayamean obsessive? I do this on a regular basis. I guess my thought is
that even though you can't see it, *I'll* know.

But then the fly-wheel would make turning difficult since it'd try to force
a level path. And of course he'd have to add it, for the body cut-away
renders to show how it works, when he tries to sell the concept to the
military for millions of dollars... :-)
