Someone really needs to say this: You sir, are awesome.

I also really need to fix the stupid template in this forum >.<

Edit: template is fixed. Sorry for the trouble.

[Boom]

lol, I like this kind of novelty item. A bit big compared to the plane though lol. Edit a santa's sleigh to have missile hdpnts and you're all set =)

I scaled it so that it has the same overall length and diameter as an AIM-9 Sidewinder. The "hook" part probably make it look bigger than it is though.

Please, I had the @#$%ing thing working for a min, then I changed a few words on the description part and it is broken again.

For those who has problems, here's the DL link again:

Fixed. There was a space after the link, so that broke the template.

Excellent mod, you made me smile!

Cool TF how about some high drag Hershey's kisses.

(It'll be easier to explain if you also look at the raw mesh I attached)

Basically it is a many-segmented cylinder. Then I cut across the diagonals of the faces to create the "twirl" pattern.

To do the base shape of the hook, I take the cross section of the main cylinder body, and plotted a couple of extra vertices off set to a side as a rotational axis, and created a rotational shape (*) around the axis with the circle, which gives me a torus shape. Delete the half of the torus and I get the semi-circle hook.

(*) I apologize if it sounded a little confusing to you. I don't use blender so I don't know how to put it in blender terms. In GepolyO that is called "Solid of Revolution" operation.

[Shutter]

No worries, I understand blender, 3d max and the gepolyx set of tools. Thanks for clarifying, much appreciated!

That's not a candy cane! IT'S CANDY PAIN!

[Crazypilot]

Now all we need are tiny skydiving santa's elves as high drag bombs.
