Project Reality Forums

So I've started a F/A-18 project for the sake of myself, and I was wondering why when I was making the front cone why the cone showed up like two feet behind in my top perspective, and so low in my front persective. The blueprints I'm using are dimentionally proportional, the same resolution and size, and I've tried 3-4 other sets of blueprints with the same result. I'm using Gmax and I'm pretty sure my blueprints are fine. Can somebody help me? I'll post pictures of my problem later. Til then, night everyone.

Did you cut the front/side photos in two on photoshop or a similar program? I had this problem with blender but re-cut it in the exact same position and it worked fine :S

i only ever use blueprints for the start blockout pretty much, the rest should be based on hand eye coordination and measuring the model with the eye and getting the final shape. gets easier and easier to mold the shape the more stuff you add.

your blueprints were hand scanned? it may be tilted, try to check the paralaxe error, and make sure the image have the exactly same width and height after cropped.

The Blueprints I am using are from the internet, I've used Paint.Net and a few tutorials to correct everything up. Heres a Screenshot of my problem.

As you can see, the front cone is off line, everywhere except the Left, which I built on. (I redid this in a minute thats why it isn't lined up).

I can clearly see a clockwise rotation on the top view, maybe other mistakes on your blueprint, try to edit it and make sure it is 100% aligned and symmetrical, otherwise thrust on your eyes, like MotherDear said.

I'm getting quite confused now. I'm pretty sure that my Blueprints are correct, they are in the same resolution, equal dimensions, the ends are from tip to tip. I've tried a method used in 3Ds Max, where you texture the faces of rectangles, but hasn't worked out for me( got lost in the process ).
