Something me and avp are working on. The picture is inside the 3ds max viewport. It was easier for me to see how I wanted the lighting to be like.
...What is it?
What is it going to be?
Can we see it from other angles?
Can we see what you are aiming to achieve?
I can't see a thing in those pictures. I assume it's an environment of some sort? Your "lighting" is really a hindrance to being able to give you crit on it. It really looks like nothing, even in the wire frame.
Its very basic. But am I doing it right?
Halo 3 rats nest single player place?
It was originally. Be we decided to just get some of its architectural elements and make something of our own out of it.
...Not going so well...

Best way to make the complex walls and pipes like in this area?

How about railing like this?
And as for the structural support. Will this do? I cant have it take up to much space.

It's.... better? I don't see why you won't just extend it all the way down there and stick some smaller tech stuff on it if it looks too boring.

Ok, I'll keep it simple.
I'm pretty much done.. I learned a little bit texture wise, and material setting up wise in 3dsmax.

I like how it turned out, for a modern flashlight, any last crit?
Honestly I was thinking more like this.
http://tehlag.modacity.net/one/pix/qct-dee-bsp2.jpg
Keep it simpler. If it doesn't need to be complex, don't make it complex.
higuy, that's wayyyyy too reflective. overall i think your flashlight could use a lot more detail. dont be lazy or scared to add some in. and no that doesnt mean add in a bunch of random scratches. give it some definition.
I was never planning on making any scratches too, but I think I know why its super reflective.. I'll change that

Kind of hard to tell what it looks like on a surface, when it's not on a surface. :downs:
Well once we start texturing, we'll see and change accordingly.
I'll update this with a photoshop of it on top of another texture.
um... you.. build it?Quote:

it's not really a complex thing now, is it >_<
@Dee
I'd just make a curve and extrude a circular polygon along it.

DEE will be able to do it better, but this is me figuring out how to apply textures for the first time on my own.
The arrows don't look too bad. Not sure about the Vehicle one.
:shake: Please stop mensioning DEE. he is no god. Looks good though, I like the arrows.
He mentions me a lot because we are both making this map...Quote:

Keep that shit to yourself hunter, this thread isn't for bitching about giving proper credit, it's for crit on peoples WIPs
Hunter, since I left months ago you bitched about DEE, and you still do now that I'm come back browsing around. Just worry about your own things.
DEE is like way up here to you.
and you, your way down here.
It's just how it is.
Okay, what ever. Fucking drop it. I said I was not going to start an argument on this thread so stfu.. jesus.
*snip, I was wrong.*
Edit:
My failed unwrap on the turret.
Looks nice.
What's a good way to make tileable textures?

Gimp has a tool that you can use if I remember correctly.Quote:

Well, whilst making a custom theme for my iPod I needed to make some wallpapers for it. Here are a few I made, top one is my fav.

^nice.
@ MrBig: There's the ever useful offset + clone stamp.. or what I used to do is duplicate my layer, then offset it... then just mask off the top layer's seam.
Orr now what I've been playing with is photoshop's Auto - Blend Layers tool (Edit - Auto Blend Layers) basically just have something laying over the top of your seam in a separeate layer and then select the layers that are involved, and select the Auto Blend Layers from the edit menu and it'll get rid of the seam pretty well.(usually)
Just make sure if you use the clone stamp tool you make sure it has a very soft edge, right click with it and set hardness to like 45% or so.
Crosspostin' this cuz lobo's thread got locked :v:

WIP box texture.
http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/5894/boxtexture1.png
Bevels and text are placeholders.
That actually looks pretty nice. The abse texture seems good. The bevel edges should be a bit more defined though, and maybe have some damaged egdes/corners.
the base texture is nice, like hunter said, but its missing all the wear and tear, not just the stuff around the edges.
Thanks, I'll work on that.

Now I need to figure out how to do UVW maps :/
Uving that box? Or something else.
Also, you planning on doing a specular for that box? If its metal I highly suggest you do :)
Edit: Also, maybe bake an ambient occlusion onto the texture, really helps add depth using shadows, they obviously wont be real time but it can help out.
How else do I apply different part of the texture to each face?Quote:

Well yeah, uving the box is the answer to allowing it to use different sections on the same texture file.
In short, apply a Unwrap UVW modifier to the box, select face in the tree for unwrap, untick normalize map, set it to planar and find the right axis, and make the face smaller in the edit uwv's preview box. Google it though theres thousands of tuts out there.
Specular can help add shine to things, google that too. xD
to make ambient occlusion, you either bake one from a hi res mesh to a low poly mesh (the real way), or you can use a height map and use xnormal to make an ambient occlusion from it (the fake way). both ways yield decent results, so choose which you'd rather do d:

So far i have this but hopefully someone can point out to me if im doing something wrong and if so what and how i can fix it.
The refference im using is this.
http://fc02.deviantart.com/fs42/f/20...by_Wolff60.png
Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
you have a non-planar in the back.
Lmao I can no longer clay render... Well I've got most of the hull outline done and going to move in and add all the panels. I've also finished a majority of the panels covering the wheels, with the exception of the last panel covering the gear wheel.
I have a request to make. Can someone find me pictures of the suspension/ axial for the majority of the wheels because I can't find any.

That looks really good. One question. Why have you got duplicate sides? You can put them all in the same place on the unwrap so you dont have to texture the same thing about 4 times.
Lets see it on the model!
Like he said, he didn't know how Unwrap works. but yeah what hunter said. let see some norms too.:golfclap:Quote:

Thanks.
http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/2095/boxm.jpg
Viewport render because I was using DirectX material.
Toned down the splotches and now each side is unique
I had always thought DOA 4's models were abit to high poly for Halo CE (if anybody knows the poly limit, tell me). So I decided heck import the DOA spartan from it. Oh teh lag, your not gonna like how large the poly count is, 27K
I got bored, time to rig it and apply the textures to it! 27K is high but eh.
Oh i dont like those crates really :(
dark-matter forums, etc, etc.
I did this before. Once you give it any bones and animate it. Your FPS will drop a crap load in-game.
16 of those + dead bodies = Horrible framerate
at least fix the smoothing :v:
You should chamfer all of the edges like the bit crates are in Halo 3. The edgs just look too sharp.Quote:

It could have been the same texture. Than the decals are just separate bitmaps applied onto planes.
Not everything has to be baked.Quote:

My wacom seems to be lagging in PS a lot.. this is a quick 2 min sketch. Yes I know theres a shit ton of things wrong with it, but im just doing a rough sketch then going through later and touching it up. MAJOR rep to who ever knows who this is.
EDIT: Image changed some, still havent touched much of his face. Im thinking about redoing the shirt.. the solid black aint cutting it. Probably going to darken the rest though.
Yeah, the eye is a bit wacky and so is the nose, but really, it's better than what I can do. I can't draw a portrait for the life of me.
um.. what would you bake?Quote:

Comments like this are completely unnecessary and utterly worthless. Post something constructive.Quote:

Henchmen #21: if i copy pasta my rant into this box, can you post it in the quick crit thread in modacity?
Higuy: k
Henchmen #21: you can say that i said it
Henchmen #21: kk
Henchmen #21: Mr.big was in no way hostile at all, he has been taking crit with the utmost respect to the members. So far he has acted kindly and I should expect he should receive kindness in return. I do not know whether Mr.big edited the above post, but this does not matter, for the fact that Neuro's "critique" did not do shit. Nuero, I respect your work and I know you are a professional, but just like some other professional members of this board, you have the ego larger then that of a whale. So here is a piece of advice, SHUT THE FUCK UP, OR TRY TO HELP SOMEONE IMPROVE. I know the whole "oh I am not going to baby feed him" bull shit, but he has responded positively to everyone's critique so far, and for you to merely note his work off when he is just beginning is the most unprofessional thing I have seen. You are discouraging him from continuing work, and that is not what you should be doing, what are you, a 12 year old halomaps user? Also Teh Lag, what the fuck man, I thought you were a good moderator. I understand if Mr.Big put some insult then he edited it after the warning, but Neuro deserves at least a warning too. You of all people remember my fiasco with not taking crit, and it was obvious there were some unhelpful people just being douches and harassing, such as Silentwind, he is fine towards me now, but that is because of the other members helping me improve enough to be somewhat good. I should think yall would learn that modacity is becoming a fucking slum hole, and you and the other mods and admins have the power to change it, and I know what the first thing to fix should be, and if you read my rant you would too. People should get a warning, then an infraction if repeated on giving unnecessary comments and "troll critique". I hope this concept doesn't make too many of you shitters angry, because that would be just hilarious. Lag, do whats right, at least give Neuro a warning too, it is time to change modacity for the better, and it will save us a whole lot of bitching if we just do it now.
Higuy: k ill post
Henchmen = Chains
Warn him for what? Not giving enough crit? Big asked what people thought, Neuro told him what he thought. I think "bland and generic" is pretty telling as to what he thinks, yet evidently that was "unnecessary and utterly worthless." Retard Retort is for when people openly reject comments that they asked for, so that's what I used.
I'll gladly talk about this further in PMs.
Oh, sorry MrBig. I was not clear on what I meant. Can I use the ground texture for some of my renders? :O

Idk if Max has it, but Maya can use satellite CPU's from computers on your network to do MR raytracing. Look into it.
I believe thats what the "raysat_3dsmax" process is.
By the way, I learned something new and made this:
I used Nurbs and Deform Modifier.

Cool sub-div modeling. Can we see the wires of the un-smoothed version so we can see if your doing it right?Quote:

The sub-division modeling. There are techniques with that as well. Avoiding things like poles and n-gons.
