Author Topic: The new and improved 3D model topic!  (Read 4688772 times)

I'm "new" to blender (I haven't used it in 3 years) and I started modeling 2 days ago. This is something I made, Incase you can't see it... Its a flamethrower.

Its inspired by this

I would love to hear some criticism and how I can improve.
Its a nice model, but the logic is a little flawed.

I'm guessing the gas comes from the top tube, but what does the bottom one do then?
usually on flamethrowers you just have an igniter below the gas outlet.
In the picture you were inspired from, its a rag tied on the end of a pipe. Maybe you should think about it because at the moment it looks like it just has two outlets for gas.

Well eh...
I guess the bottom one to ignite the little flame
And the top one for the actually gass to get out to create a major curtain of fire.
Just like a lighter and deodorant.
Kinda...

The canister on the bottom supplies the propane, and the canister on the back supplies the oxygen.

The rear canister is likely compressed air being released to build pressure inside the lower can which is likely the fuel. When the bicycle brake is pulled some form of valve in the pipe is opened and the compressed air is fed into the lower canister forcing it through the pipe system on top and our the opening.

What leads me to believe this is the case is the way both hoses from the brake and rear canister feed into the same port. If the rear canister was being used as fuel it would likely be more efficient to have a direct feed into the barrel pipe. You'll also notice that the lower pipe with the ignition torch switches from a pipe to a simple rod, it is possible that this rod is being used as a way of continually feeding the rag fuel but that would be stupid since the pipe is wide open.

But that's just my opinion.


Wheel for the Marauder (needed to take a break from modeling the actual truck).


Haven't posted in a while so here's something I guess ?!!?1/1


nice but ys the chargin handle so white??./


On a serious note I'm gonna darken it out.

That looks really nice. Could you give me tips on gun modeling?

It's been kinda quiet around here
Moore 250S (also known as Chrysler 300C). It's a luxury sedan with ~400 horses, though its high weight doesn't allow it to perform all that well.




IDK if I will make 2nd gen as parts yet (I'm making the 1st), probably not

It's a superb model so far, the only thing I'd change would be the badges; they are way too detailed in comparison with the rest of the car.

Alright, optimized them a little, though they will look better later because I still have to add some small details to exterior (Panel gaps for example)
