Brandon's Props

Brandon

I am starting to learn to use 3ds Max 7, and I have played around a bit with it before, but I would like to learn how to model and texture properly... AS such I have produced this model to learn to texture: tell me what you think

Japhir

Hi brandon

I am fairly new to 3d modeling, but I use Maya instead. The basics are the same (from what I have seen) so you will probably find something usefull at this site:

3dBuzz

3dbuzz has a lot of video tutorials explaining the basics. Also in my opinion (sp?, the best way to learn is just by doing it. Just try to make something nice. Also check polycount often as you can find great info from great people here.

Surf the net for tuts, read/watch'em. Then practice practice practice The 2d/3d discussion forum here could help with more complicated techniques. And http://forums.cgsociety.org/ is a great pace to find all kinds of tuts for programs.

Also there's good tutorials that come with Max for beginers.

I have been very busy lately, but I am on break now, check this basic character I made, I am trying to get the hang of topography...

my best advice would be to learn how to model environment stuff before moving on to characters.

Jarrod it depends what kind of envi. Better concentrate on props. Basic stuff like cardboxes to learn UI and using of it. And one more advice .. tutorials, tutorials and one more tutorials. I can recommend u a Poop's tutorials -> http://www.poopinmymouth.com/tutorial/tutorial.htm
