I think you’re right. This rendition is based on a picture of a large resin model that I saw some time back. I would guess that if a livery makes it as far as a resin model, it must’ve been under serious consideration.

Just found the picture on the web. Here is the initial inspiration…

OK, now it makes sense why someone on the MAP website posted a swis concept with LH colors….

Ok, I just went and googled 3DSMAX and now I know what you’re asking. No, to answer your question, I’m still using Macromedia Flash to create my drawings.

The good thing about Flash is that it keeps the size of the file quite low even when I add a heavy dose of shading and layering. The down side is that unlike the 3DMAX, there is relatively less flexability as far as rotation/pivoting. What I mean is that despite the relative 3D “look and feel” of the drawing, in actuality it’s just a flat drawing.

I’m still mad, though. I’d rather have spent the two weeks working in this 3DMAX (now that I know about it) and came up with a movable model than this static Flash one…. 🙂

Matt, what’s a 3DSMAX? Something tells me you’re implying that there are prefabricated 3D computer generated models available out there?

You mean I wasted my time hand-drawing/shading/rendering this stupid model and all I needed to do was to go out and buy one?!!

Son of a #@ and *@#$*, not to mention @&#$ *bleep* *bleep*##@&*!!!!!!! 😡 CRASH!! (that was the Ming vase…)

😀

There you go Matt 🙂
