Plan for Arland "Barry" Woodham

Well I haven't done a plan for a while so I thought it was about time to do so. I have been thinking about messing with the hover vehicle datablock since I created Cartoon-Combat. I finally jumped in replaced the buggy in the RSK with a hover version. That was all nice and well but I was not happy with watching a dune buggy sans wheels float around. Today with the freetime I had I did a quick UFO modeling to see how it would feel with a disc model instead. I am real happy at how easy all of this has been and when I get the free time I will make a better model with good geometry and actual uv/texturing. Anyways I thought I would share since I have been a little absent from the scene. So enjoy the images.

Anyone curious in my non game related work I have been joining in with the 3dtotal speed modeling chalenges. In which they give you a topic and you have a hour to model what you can. Some topics are easier than others but I commited myself to compete so as to improve my skills. I have an archive I'm creating here

The standard datablock had some troubles with the vehicle going through the terrain but after adjucting some varibles I haven't had that problem since.
