Hello, all.

I wanted to make a cartoony jet plane for an animation I'm working on.  I
tried to do it in hamaPatch but failed miserably as my patch modeling skills
are rubbish (as I've now realised).

So I had a go with blobs and sphere_sweeps in POV and this is the result.

The texturing's not finished, but I think it's quite good for 90 minutes
work.

What do ya think?

Bye,
Alan.

I think it is very good. A happy cartoon plane ;-)
Very good for the amount of time involved!
Did you use a blob modeler?

Thank you.

Nope.  All hand coded.  Cut my blob modeling teeth about a year ago after
reading Rune's excellent tutorial (still on his website, I think) and then
going to on to model a blobby robot, which was posted to this group in the
distant past.  Forget what the post was called, though.

Bye,
Alan.

Yeah, it looks like an excellent model for something like "Toy Story."

I remember it.  :o)  Your yellow robot with a blobby hole in the middle,
reminds me of a funny screwdriver I have.. Yeah, and you said my check was
on it's way.  ;o)

Looks great! As far as hamapatch, I've never been very good at it either.
This sort of thing would have been easier to model in something like Wings.

You really got the cartoonish look. I don't understand why the plane has a
nose, however.

A Boeing 747 (which was the skewed basis for this model) does have a nose,
of sorts.  Look at this here image of the 30th Anniversary Gathering of the
Boeing 747 Nose Appreciation Society to see what I mean:
