I just put a model up at http://www.sharecg.com/v/23211/3d-model/aircraft---observation
its an obj file, scaled for Poser , material groups and uv mapped (roughly)
it was done as a background object for a scene so isnt detailed .

Oh that looks like a fairly simple model, therefore simple UV's - is it okay if I take a look at the UVmaps?
It might help me get better at UVMapping - and I need all the help I can get with that.

That's great, that's all I've got anyway.
Thanks

danke for the drone, mark. they could use those on the southern border in the states, to watch for illegal aliens.

I did it while learning about modelling with subdivision surfaces , it came out well enough I didnt want to just throw it away . :laugh:
I am happy that someone has a use for it .

Oh I've just today - about 1 hour ago - had a lesson in Maya on subdivs - fascinating stuff!
You throw stuff away???!!!??? :scared:

I model a lot of stuff to learn how various things work , or dont :( . Most of them are saved in a big work folder, so I have a few hundred models that are mostly complete , or complete but not good :)
If it looks reasonable to me I will sometimes post it as a freebie , but more often they just get deleted when the folder gets too big . I figure I can always make it again if I need it .
:biggrin:

I used to have a couple of hundred models... once.... before they were all nicked.
(sob!)
Now I'm trying to (eventually) build up my collection, but it takes a while re-modelling things.

losing a nice model is very sad. Luckily most of mine are , er , rubbish :)
I do try to remember to burn my source folders to cd every few weeks .

Well some of them were nice, but it's probable that a vast amount were either just incremental saves while working or else just... crappy, not that I recommend this as a method of finding out but it is a good opportunity of finding out how much your skills have improved - and happily, I think mine have - my speed's increased too.
The only problem is finding the time to re-create models - preferably before you go - "ah heck, and I used to have one of those" - with a deadline looming.
Lol.
P.S. Insert much bigger swear word in place of "heck".
