I have decided to improve my 3D modelling skills but I can't go much further with Truespace.
So after trying several programs I choosed Maya 8.5.
IMHO it seems to have the more balanced and easy to learn UI, compared to Lightwave, 3DSMax or Blender.
True to my style (style? what style?), instead of starting with something simple and then move to more complex models; I decided to make a 3D model of the Supermarine S.6B seaplane.
After a couple of weeks working on and off this is what I have so far:
Modelling is done, now I'm fighting the UV maps
Stay tuned for more progress posts.
