For the second model in the Star Wars project I wanted to build a model based on the star wars X Wing Fighter. I began with a simple small rectangle and turned it into an editable poly with segments and started to extrude and bevel the left and right side of each. This allowed me to form the wings of the ship and get started with dragging them out.
Below is a picture of the design I made for my x-wing fighter.
As you can see I have also extruded and bevelled the nose of the ship in order to create the classic shape of the X WING.
At the back of the ship I bevelled and extruded to create the effect of an engine and jet stream kind of thing.
I also did this with the top of the nose at the back to give the effect of a window and cockpit styled effect.
Adding 2 cylinders in and placing them on the X AXIS at 90 degrees allowed me to create the style of 2 missile launchers on either wing.
I wanted the wings to be large and have the missiles on the bottom wings too so I cloned the two cylinders and dragged them down.
To enlarge the wings I selected the polygons shown below and bevelled them out as shown.
The wings were now wide enough and I wanted now to add the laser guns on the end of each wing. To do this I added a cylinder and used inset on the end polygon and then extrude to extend it but smaller. I repeated this step on the newly extended cylinder to get the effect shown below.
Finally I cloned the laser gun and moved it across to the other wing, then cloned both again and moved them down to the bottom wing. Below is my final design.
Below is the effect of the ship I was almost going for.
Using the video below helped me to develop my model.
