wow. no clue what that it is but it looks pretty sweet. and it seems to have VTOL capabilities. did you desgin this or somethin?

yeah I rigged this thing up on maya. It was originally supposed to be a steampunk fighter of some sort.

oh *ears droop*

pretty slick, looks fairly probably too. i'm gonna guess it has an airframe bassed off a flyin wing, right?

actually the full pic of it is around on my gallery somewhere. It was inspired by the Sukhoi 27

OMFFFFFFFG! i would so totally fucking get a pilots liscense today to fly that thing! what is it?! (besides a plane, i figured that) it looks like its capable of vertical takeoff

The VTOL concept for it was developed way back with the mk1 I made in 2007-2008 back then I didn't really pay attention to the fact that it wouldn't work so well with the aerodynamics.
So no, the fans are primarily designed to provide supermanouverability.

Hello there sexeh ...

Very nice rendering.

She's gorgeous.

I just love the textures on this. Brings it to life.

sadly I was quite lazy with the texturing, the whole model has like, 3 materials.

THat is an awesome design, i could see something like that flyin around. WICKED!!

I soooooo want one how much?

You sir have mastered Maya.

well thankyou, though I'm still trying to push the envelope

Go for it, I'm looking forward to your future work.

how good is maya?

it's got a steep learning curve, like all 3D programs.

so it takes forever to learn?

only a couple of months to get proficient, but it takes years to get good at it.

I used to play around in Maya 5.0 but then, Autodesk 3D Studio Max 3.0 took over.

But heck, this is one sweet piece of structuring and overall rendering. Very good model. Great job man.

well I'm glad theres furs out there that appreciate the finer forms of art.

3D ain't easy and usually people that are bashing it haven't even tried out a 3D program, in their whole life.
They just think that "Oh, 3D, right, it's such a cheap way to create stuff, drawing is a lot harder" while they have no idea how wrong they are.
Of course, sure, 3D can be easier for people that already have worked on with it for a longer time, just like drawing is easier for people that have been drawing for a long time. Technically you can't compare the 2 of them, but on the other hand, most large animation studios too use 2D drawings first and base their 3D models on the 2D base.

both mediums have their strengths and weaknesses. 3D stuff generally takes a lot of time to get even the most rudimentry of results, but once it gets going, it just goes faster and faster, whereas Drawing can get instant outcomes, but can't really keep up in the longrun.
