Spline modeling is not that great in Max; it has some funky rules and is real easy to break. You'll be wanting subdivision surface modeling instead, it's a very robust system. 3dmotive has some good sub-d tuts, and we have some great free resources on our wiki. http://wiki.polycount.com/SubdivisionSurfaceModeling
@dwgagner True I overdid his nose by far :D Still I hope you will solve are issue and end with great work. Best of luck! edit: however please check this gif. If its not the width then maybe his nose should have less sharp edges, so highlight and shadows will be smoother on it.
Very nice styles. I know it's a bit cheeky to ask since you're providing these for free but is there any chance you could add some non-standard characters? It mostly invovles putting dots, circles and lines all over exisiting letters so hopefully it won't be too bad :D
Wirrexx - Thanks for going through the trouble and finding a solution. I'll re unwrap and post an update here :D Bruno - Yeah it looks faceted ): Eric - Very true! monster - Thats a very annoying issue, i guess i need to be more careful with my stack! Thanks for the advice everyone!
right, some ref on the first item; (most likely) a player character; And a first sketch using my ..ehm.. drawing skills ;D I want to do a second version of this tomorrow and then most likely a quick blockout before it all goes to Zbrush. Please feel free to add any feedback :)
Export from what? The data is wholly dependent on the software you're exporting from, since each stores the 3D data in a different manner. For example, the 3ds Max SDK is the best place to learn Max data export. They also have an older export framework called iGame that's free to d/l.
Hey thanks for the heads up gauss. Bizarrely I was just d/ling this as I saw your post! http://www.fileplanet.com/159596/150000/fileinfo/Half-Life-2---Mistake-Of-Pythagoras-Mod So I'll check this out too. You cant beat free professional quality content!
Okay first of all...thank you for the long and very helpful explanation on the subject! I've read it like 5 times trying to understand everything and figure out how to proceed. A is not an option I guess for me at least :/ The process is indeed destructive and time consuming and I'm not sure it can ever be posed looking…
Hey guys I didn't plan to join but changed my mind! Picked pistol from the last concept as I wanted to get out of my comfort zone and try some hard surface modelling (in which I suck). Here is 3h blockout and plan sheet. Please feel free to be harsh :D
I really like the game, I am not a big fan of the War Table though. As it stands there are only three advisors and it kind of sucks when there are some operations that last 20+ hours. Having to keep travelling back to access it isn't great either. Aside from that ( and the floating beards ) the game is really good :D .
