Show your models thread...(IMAGE HEAVY)

That's some sweet stuff dude I just got the 3dmax trial, and it's easier than I expected it to be, but I honestly don't think that I'll be able to make anything like that soon.

I too was surpriced over how easy it was to get started.
And dont worry, I've only been modeling for like 3 months or something, I'll see if I can dig up some good tutorials I used in the beginning.
However Dfox and a few others kind of wants me to do a mini-tutorial. I'm still considering it, but I guess I could show new people - like myself, how I do stuff and what I find usefull (before it becomes too normal)

Oh yea - and another thing. A big part of making your stuff look "good" is by rendering it the right way. just look at some of the first pages of the Negev thread (that was my 4th model ever)

http://video-tutes.com/packages/3d1.php is the collection of tutorials I have been using.

I mainly used it to figure out how to place stuff, that kinda stuff. Then a trick I learned from EVE online (if in doubt, right click), led the way to figuring out how to start messing around with meshes and polygons. I can make stuff now, now I just have to figure out how to make decent stuff

How many hours a day do you spend modelling btw?

Well I started out because I was curious and facinated by 3D models. And now I'm afraid I'm adicted I just love it. I currently have ~10 weapons WIP, ~8 vehicles WIP and 2 dinosaurs WIP going

I guess when I have time for it, the hours just fly away. I'd estimate it to a mean of min. 2 hours a day now, but it wasnt always like that, in the beginning I was fustrated a lot, but dont give up and I'm sure you will make it just fine

if some of you guys still want me to make a quick video tutorial, which could be fun - help me chose a weapon/vehicle/equipment to do.

The criteria: It shouldnt be too detailed, cause I dont have much time, and we dont want the file size to be too huge.

So far I have ~4 candidates that I think will be quick to do:

AK5 (FN FNC variant)


MP5SD (but I wont be able to show all of the stuff I usually do on this weapon)


M82A1 (its already ingame, which dosnt matter, this is just to show how I do stuff. And it will be rather easy to do)


Or maybe the ASPB gunboat I was planing on doing anyway - this will be a rather long tutorial I fear.



EDIT:

Strike that gunboat and let it be the C-130 instead
a very stripped version that it!

Did the first part of the video tutorial, barrel and handguard basically done. Unfortunatly the sound from my amazingly crappy mic was so bad you could pretty much only hear static. So I'll switch to my laptop instead (tomorrow) cause its almost 3am here now.

So Z's rifle video tutorial comming up. Should be done tomorrow if I can get some quiet time from my girldfriend

Hey, Z-trooper, how do you get that shiny reflection effect on the "floor" of the render?

he made it with photoshop i think just transform the image you want and put it vertical too the other picture and thereafter make the opacity down too around 50 % or soo.
