After helping a new SLer yesterday to get started with Wings 3D and sculpts, I was inspired to attempt some thin, swept wings for a canard that I’ve been roughing out lately.
The general shape is coming into focus, I think. I want to improve the fuselage some more and smooth the join between wings and fuselage. Control surfaces would be nice to have too, but as usual with SL vehicles, the prim count for vehicles is only 32, so I might have to sacrifice that kind of detail to the prim gods.
Looks good… I used to use Wings3D, can you recommend any good tutorial sites dealing with sculpties?
Here are some sculpty links you might find useful:
