As some of you have noticed in the w.i.p thread, I was working on a quadcopter.

Well here it is finished:


Sent to the client. Theyt liked the w.i.p's. Hope they like the finished product.

Thanks bitkar! and yeah, although I think the reason people like quadcopters is because they're quite easy to control, as you can more easily get a computer to handle the stabilization purely by throttling the some of the electromotors. Also mechanically they're a lot simpler, just take a look at my...

Also re-designed the HUD (the old image was actually from my old Athena model from 2011)

Cockpit: (I know the foot rests look a bit shit and if I'd had more time I would have re-designed them as well)

HUD:

Thanks Finis! and while I'm not making enough to call it making a living, I'm hoping that will be the reality in the near future! As for practicality, yeah I think the fuselage will add a bit extra weight but if made from lightweight materials that won't be much of a problem. Batteries on the other ...

My first redesign was more experimental, trying to stay true to their original design: https://united3dartists.com/forum/...

It could be some kind of knitting tool maybe?

That's what I was thinking as well, knitting or rope making tool but it's bloody massive

There's a tutorial that explains it better:

@bitkar There's a plugin for Gimp: http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=17809

preview.jpg Has anyone tried Dust3D? dust3d.org I just found it randomly in a Linux os store-app as a free 3D software and I gave it a go. It's... quite different from anything I've ever used. You 3D model on basically two axis using lines and nodes, the nodes detirmine thickness, and the lines the...
