Wow dude, you have made some nice progress since I last checked this thread. Yes the model is bad but its a lot better than when last I saw it. Keep hamering at it. Have a look for edge loop tutos and work on your meshflow. You may also want to look at doing a non humanoid model as Motz suggested, its a lot more forgiving…
well maybe you should call greenpeace and get them down in houston jo420, sounds like if they cared they could actually do some good, those people know what they are getting into, i guarantee they knew to expect a violent response, you can't illegally invade a convention and disrupt it without expecting some kind of…
Im seeing a lot of mistakes in the model itself, and also lots of problems with the subdivision. Im not sure how accurate you intended the model to be, so ill just assume not very, and focus on the sub-D issues. The first thing that hits my eye is the pinching on the grip (behind the mag release) and at the back of the…
@ Jammy Jammer & Amircoh28: It means that for you guys max can't access the bitmap TexTools GUI bitmap, code snippet quote: So as you can see it expects a that GUI bitmap to be located in the userScripts/TexTools directory, which is usually: So make sure that the TexTools_gui.bmp file is inside that folder. It is really…
Probably adding in a few extra materials for unique buildings won't make a noticeable difference. If you can reuse something and it doesn't look like you are reusing stuff -- sure why not? If you need something unique to get the look you want, it's more a question of time to produce the thing than performance. You can…
Hi! I am Ammer and currently looking for freelance work as a 3D prop artist or Environments related work. I have 2 years worth of experience making different kinds of props from small scale to large scale assets. Before doing freelance, I stayed in a local outsourcing studio which exposed me to different kinds of…
I would also suggest taking a reference for modeling. If you are just modeling what you think is cool, you will fall into a deep trap where you only model what is convenient right now, and not take on any challenge to make the subject like on the reference, and learn a lot less while modeling. Also youre no concept artist…
ysalex You assume too much, You think I'm insecure? Who are the people who feel the need to assert their dominance through gun based or gory games. I just want to have conversations with fellows about games without them roid raging because I am not mentioning a "Mature" game. Many people enjoy these tough guy games because…
If you really want to learn without being utterly constrained by the software, change to another package. Really - it's like learning to texture in MS Paint when there are free alternatives like GIMP. I also don't like Blender, but there are several other free packages. The one I'd recommend would most likely be the XSI…
Clarisse is just an example of something more user friendly while keeping very procedural and flexible approaches. SD design might be totally driven by performance limitations, GPU specifics etc I am not sure. After all Filter forge, kind of SD alternative allowing few cool things SD wouldn't (like scaling the whole…
