Well, I'll be honest - I should really make sure to update this weekly. But, between me being ill, and then Steve being ill, and then me being ill again... Well, we never do quite get rid of Fresher's Flu, do we?
Anyway, I'm starting to steam ahead with the YT-1000 design, seen on Wookiepedia here. I started work on a Dora last week (That's a FW-190 D9 from WW2) but sadly propeller planes are quite complex, so that's a project that will likely go ahead on indefinate hold. In the meanwhile, I'm still struggling to find ship designs for pre-Clone Wars civillian starfighters. I'm sure some exist, and if nothing else I'll have to apply some artistic licencing to some Old Republic ships. They may be ~1000 years old, but even a relic could fly if kept well enough.
I've also discovered the Soft Editing tool, which is the equivalent of Maya's Falloff tool; it allows you to shape or scale a face or selection organically, with a percentile variation between the vertices within the falloff range. While nothing like as easy to use as the Maya version I've often seen Cally using, it's still a useful tool to consider for modelling in the future - or just to aide with those slightly trickier lines along the edges of shapes now.
I'll need to really steam ahead with these models in the coming week to ensure everything's ready, so I'll probably need to make a few more blog entries next week. Lesson learned for the future, don't get ill during university semesters.
