I undershot my goal of 10000 polys by 1000, but I htink I accomplished what I needed to lol. With such a comlex shape it was hard to go low poly. I'll skin this baby tonight and we'll see who's the top cd maker!

Dr.Spangle · 08-08-2004, 01:34 AM

Yeah, make an opacity map for the center bit, and make a cool photorealistic scene of it sitting on a table.

I have the entire thing UVMapped. And I plan on making a map for opacity, bump (the metal film I have on the cd in front of my is kinda bumpy), color, maybe a few more if I get bored....Now I just need to figure out how to make Maya render those chromatic lines.

You make a nice high quality picture of it and I'll use it. I need to have no reflections and be evenly lit. Have fun...lol

I'm not sure what maya's default materials are, but in 3d studio max, if you use a material with 'chrome' for the diffuse texture and then mess with the settings, it'd do the trick quite nicely.

DrZero · 08-08-2004, 01:57 AM

do you know how to do everything spangle?

Dr.Spangle · 08-08-2004, 01:59 AM

You should know the answer to that by now.

DrZero · 08-08-2004, 02:03 AM

the answer is: "Yes, i am a sentient being, i know all"

Dr.Spangle · 08-08-2004, 02:05 AM
