I jumped the gun on my last entry forgetting to first post the creation of the wing fins and the motor on each end. I used two functions in EnRoute to create the files… sweep two rails and the revolve functions. As always I started with the vectors, created in EnRoute.
The wind portion of the file was a mesh created with the sweep two rails command. The top line is the profile I used. The bottom egg shaped motor was created with the revolve tool. Both meshes were them merged highest with a zero height relief.
One other part of the equation I didn’t show earlier was how I sliced the fish sub relief in EnRoute. I was machining it from 1″ thick Precision Board so I created four slices, then copied them, and flipped one set to create the second half of the sub.
Next up is the background/stand for the submarine. It’s going to be just as cool as the sub. Stay tuned…
