hey sir ibi, nice models

. what software are you using? and do you know any site with 3d tutorials?

Janx14 · Post by **Janx14** » 15 Nov 2005, 18:59

so will you tell me what software do you use

Sir Ibi · Post by **Sir Ibi** » 15 Nov 2005, 22:57

lol, sorry I kinda forgot

To model, I use 3DS Max 8 - educational license
For rendering I use Vray
For texturing I use Photoshop, Illustrator and a heavy dose of googling

There are plenty of fantastic tutorials, but it depends on what level of competence you are at. I can recommend looking through 3D-Palace.com - they have a fantastic set of free tutorials, but you are required to register, which is free. The tutorials to look out for from 3D-Palace is the chess tutorial, Sci-fi docks tutorial and also the Audi A3 tutorials.

You can also visit evermotion, 3DTotal and google to finding good tutorials.

i have 3ds max 7 is it any different than 8

guess it doesn't really matter because i dont know how to use either of them, absolutely no clue that stuff is way over my head lol

I have 3DsMax 7, but I just dont know where to start with the tools. So far EVERY tuturail I found was for people who already know the program. It is lame.

that is the exact same problem i have:(

Janx14 · Post by **Janx14** » 19 Nov 2005, 08:34

or we all are pretty lame

Here' something I've been working on for about a week for my Uni project, and my deadline is on Friday... or today to be precise lol.... Kinda rushed on the texturing mainly because I've got so many deadlines, or maybe I should get my thumb outta my ass and actually start doing some work

Anyhoo here's a pic - crits are welcome

Very nice . . . but where does the dude with the .50cal machine gun sit

Post by **Pabl0z** » 25 Nov 2005, 03:29

Hehe looks like it's from a futuristic war game

.
Very nice.

Sir Ibi · Post by **Sir Ibi** » 25 Nov 2005, 03:32

lol, erm havn't thought of that... It was originally supposed to be a Heavy Attack Unit aka "Big Poppa" but because I didn't have time to skin and texture the guns, I left them out.

This is going to be part of a bigger scene, it's either going to be a sci-fi army base, or if i've got time and take my thumb outta my ass, then it'll be in a war zone, with dead soldiers, and stuff blown off/up.

Thanks for the comments, guys.

Post by **Pabl0z** » 25 Nov 2005, 04:22

Nice work. What program are you using btw to make these?

devil_gtr · Post by **devil_gtr** » 25 Nov 2005, 05:32

I wanna know that too^^^

By the way, i had worked on two cars, on 3d studio max..

So now i finished them, give some comments,

I am waitin................

And they dont have a name.

Sir Ibi · Post by **Sir Ibi** » 25 Nov 2005, 12:12

Like I've mentioned a million times before 3D Studio Max

@devil_gtr - Good start with the cars, tho you do need to do a little fixing up, just need to put a lot of time on it. There is a really good free tutorial on http://www.3d-palace.com, but ya gotta sign up first (its free) - Have a look at the Audi A3 tutorial on that site, its very good... I used it myself when I was first starting out.

Good luck with the cars.

devil_gtr · Post by **devil_gtr** » 26 Nov 2005, 05:25

Thx man, appretiate it, and i do hv a tutorial, its on a Land Rover, but i think i will go with Audi A3. lol

xHaZxMaTx · Post by **xHaZxMaTx** » 16 Dec 2005, 23:27

Boo ya. It's not really any kind of car, just started making one one day in Drafting and it turned into this. Kinda like a Z3/Miata.

xHaZxMaTx · Post by **xHaZxMaTx** » 17 Dec 2005, 00:59

Nice model, can't say I like the body kit, though.

No comments on my car?

Sir Ibi · Post by **Sir Ibi** » 21 Dec 2005, 00:13

@Hazmat: Nice start, although you seem to have some smooting problems neer the wheel arc. Pretty good job overall, you gonna texture it, or use some shaders?

@V12: Nice car and that body kit is quite something!

Could do with a little fixing up around the windscreen and the vents on the side of the door.

Well Korge has asked me to do some high quality renders of his logo, so here it is, two versions.

NOTE: if a mod or admin consider this braking the ruls than i'm asking him to delete this post or to do what ever he wants

korge · Post by **korge** » 29 Dec 2005, 18:36

Well, 3DSMax 8 is out now and is available for $4000. I know Im not buying, but I am still getting used to Max 6. Im stuck making my first chess piece.

Hey Ibi, do you think you could PM me with some tips when it comes to textures? I cant find one tutorial about it.

Sir Ibi · Post by **Sir Ibi** » 29 Dec 2005, 19:18

I'm learning texturing myself at the moment, but I'd be happy to help any way I can. You got my MSN right? Well if you need any help, I might be on MSN sometimes, but hardly ever

korge · Post by **korge** » 29 Dec 2005, 20:24

Okay, first question.

I have completed my little chess piece, but when I render it, Its rendered from the side and is really small in the image. How can I render my model from different angles and adjust the size of my model in the render.

Sir Ibi · Post by **Sir Ibi** » 29 Dec 2005, 20:34

Select the viewport which you want to render from. By default there should 4 different viewports - Side, Front, Top and perspective. Click on the perspective viewport and then hit render. I assume you know how to move around the viewports - zoom in n out, pan, rotate, etc..

korge · Post by **korge** » 29 Dec 2005, 20:37

It didnt do anything. I selected "Perspective", then hit F9 and it just rendered from viewport Front. In your renders, how do you move around and choose how to render your shots?

That reminds me, how do I Pan in Perspective? I only know how to zoom in and out.

hehe.. noob...
