How do i make a cockpit

  • What are you attempting to achieve? (Keep it simple and clear)
    i want to make a cockpit that has a space and a seat for the character with the glass being transparent (i will try to figure the glasses part out after im done)
  • What is the issue? (Keep it simple and clear - Include screenshots/videos/GIFs if possible)

  • What solutions have you tried so far? (Have you searched for solutions through the Roblox Wiki yet?)

i have no idea what to do anymore i started all over again because the topology sucks this is the old model


Just look at images of military jets online to find out the shape. Usually the only sharp edge between the canopy and the fuselage are at the very front edge
As for the transparency, make the canopy a separate Mesh so you can make it transparent.

Also, don’t use Flat faces for each face. Try Smooth faces in the Blender dropdown menu to get rid of the facetted look of the mesh.

The lines of the canopy should follow smooth contours on your mesh. in the second and third images you have very rough contour lines. Try to follow the green lines for smooth airflow like on a real high speed aircraft. The red lines show areas where the lines look unnatural.

I believe a noce and optimized way tk go about a cockpit would be parts to block out the major surfaces then textyres you can find online for the details.

As well, is this for a flying model or a showcase model?

I built a WWII Corsair model for my aircraft carrier showcase as well as a B-25 bomber showcase which you can see on my profile.
You can climb into the cockpit of both. There’s a handle on the RH side of the Corsair canopy that opens it.
The solid items are Parts and the rest of the gauges and words are decals.

Good luck with your jet!

for a flying model
i wanna work on a missile that calculates its path to to the jet

im done with the missile model but im struggling with the jet one

Ah, so you need a cockpit that isn’t super detailed.
Create a box shape inside the fuselage large enough for a Robloxian to fit inside and have a seat as well.
Make your canopy a separate model so it can be semi-transparent.

For the missile search ‘make a tracking missile’ or ‘homing missile’ in the forums.
