Started on rotor head re-work and also need to clean up model as it has a few problems....and too many open edges..

15 days ,Don't worried some good modelers take years in a single model, I tried to take no more than 3 months .

I knew it when I saw those beautiful round shapes,My friend take and advise learn how to export more than anything FIRST...
,for example I watch my model in FSX While I'm making it ,Animations ,shapes IN THE FSX GAME I use FSX-SDK-SP2

I'm working in a md 83 at this moment working on its flaps animation ,so I make then in gmax (Its the same as 3d max 5,7,9,) I'm showing how I do work and so far it has work very well for me


Never forget this

You can't never start a proyect without Using 3dmax or Gmax AND FSX/FS9 Both as a design tools

otherwise You won't really see what are you making ,just because you see it in max it doesn't mean it will shown in FSX the same

Now I see you have some Vertices issues ,Right?

Hi Alex...yes thanks I was going to ask you to help me export just a box...yes i will follow your instructions in making a box...lol

No luck  its says i have no lod's or friendly name

this is the place where TWO files *Xanim and *.X you have to export

Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Environment Kit\Modeling SDK\3DSM9\Plugins

I hope you are running windows Xp otherwise ...we will in trouble
NOt because it doesn't run ,is just that the procedure is diferent

I get "Broken GUID or friendly name"....
