I'm right there with Adam the low tech 30-50's are amazing. B-17. Grumman Goose F4 Corsair Douglas A-20 Bristol Beaufighter CAC Boomerang DH Mosquito Martin 187 Baltimore PBY Coronado Grumman XF5F Skyrocket
i was mostly going off the top of my head... USA MLRS, Humvees, M-113s, Avengers, Patriots EU land rovers, saracens, crotales it's also missing squad automatic weapons, shoulder-fired SAMs and light anti-tank weapons...
As stated there's heaps online. A good book IMHO is : http://www.amazon.com/Anatomy-Artist-Sarah-Simblet/dp/078948045X also here are a couple of links http://www.characterdesigns.com/ http://www.3d.sk/ http://www.got3d.com/ http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=1813
Hi Guys; Just got this message when i use the bridge between Maya to roadkill // Warning: line 181: Option "Use legacy vertex order" will only take effect when option "Multiple Objects" is enabled. Any idea ? How can i fix it ?
yep it's striped so the indice 12345678... mean faces 123 234 345 456 etc the duplications are a way of continuing the strip without the face being visible so it's visible with wireframe but not without obviously you need to solve the ordering issue .... could be alternating :)
Actually there is! You need to check the "Metalness" box when you create the project. It should be noted though that the GGX curve is missing from the 1.3 release so you have to rescale the roughness for now, but in 1.4 GGX will be fully implemented!
It looks to me like the same block 4 times, just scaled differently and one of 'em is rotated 180 on Y. I don't think the slicing is anything magic, I think they've just textured both ends of the block...
MAX offers $123 or so monthly subscription. Anyway I'd say go with Blender. When you get hired into 3DS MAX based studio, you should be able to recall all your MAX muscle memory in a week.
The turret design seems a bit odd, especially the taller back. Something like the turret from an M-113 might work better: You might also want to scoot the turret forward a bit, to get it closer to the center of gravity.
that last image reminded me of the 3rd legend of zelda, right after rescuing the princess. http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/1483/zelda3000.png anyway, it looks really good right now, aside from what was said above.
