I kind of picked up on this on my own, I have no idea if I'm doing it right lmao. Anyway, my first sculpt in zbrush, some 150k polygons.

What you've got seems to be more pinched than bumpy, but I think if you use some other brush/method this would work out much better. It already looks nice. I would add some more dings and scraps on the sides and not just the corners.
not to sound like a dick but thats pretty apparent. broken concrete doesnt look so smooth, look at how rocks chip. also, its just overall not very well defined.
e: all this @ newbkilla
Turret Mount as seen in Halo 3 ODST
I like that advance, but add more faces to the tubes. Kinda tired of the triangly shapes when its supposed to be all circular.
So I got bored from the xbox 360 and decided to make some shaders for an h2 marine
Don't mind the face, I screwed up that bitmap. Might redo the multi too. yes or no?
Face made me lol.
Nice rest of it though, did you texture the radio on his back? It seems a little lo-res or maybe that's just me.
You should put it in CE.Quote:

The rail just looks dumb and pointless, like it's put there to trip people trying to get on or off the turret.Quote:

It's a little bland. But oh well. Looks good though.

I had DEEfag render it
Thats why I didnt put it ingame. Too boring looking Lol.

:effort:
Seriously, I didn't really use much effort on this. (note the lack of some grime where there should be)
i wont use much effort to crit it then
sucks, start over
to be honest, you need to give it some definition. just looks like scratched up metal, and the scratches dont even make sense where they are. over all, its really easy to tell you didnt try at all
Noticed :/ Looks. ermmm, alright.
Pistols such balls anyway, I don't know what everyones obsession with them is.. they are crap.
@Hunter, how does it move.
its from halo 3 I think...
It's a forge object, why should it move?
Errmm... maybe the wheels? It got not seat or steering wheel yet though, if thats wa you mean. LolQuote:

Now that is more like something I could actuallytexture, and I've had a bit more practice; maybe I could give it a go?

From now on keep personal messages personal; PM him. Seriously, you didn't even shamelessly add in something stupid to keep your post on topic.
Last time I checked there where two posts conserning what I said about the unwrap, that is mine, above. and MrBig saying that he would give it ago.
Also, it is ontopic as it is discussing something I posted in the last page. He asked a question, so I answered it. There is no need for you to bitch about this all of the time, although the last time you did I can understand as I more or less had a convo in the public forum...
I don't understand... did you make that?
.
Why else would I post it.
What did you make it in? Come on man! Give me some details here. Was it a vector?Quote:

this results to me believing you wouldn't really be a fair judge on whether or not 'he's doing it right', considering you yourself seem to barely have understanding on 'how it's done right'.
excuse my rant.
edit: woops, didn't see this was 5 pages down already.
Cool Nurbs and Deform Modifier modeling. Can we see the wires of the un-smoothed version so we can see if your doing it right?:allears:Quote:

By the way, I learned something new and made this:

I don't see how nurbs modeling is any different from using the turbo smooth or mesh smooth modifier. Especially if it acts the same way when sub-div modeling. So what makes using nurbs any different? I don't see how nurbs is different from this.Quote:

.... try modeling something in nurbs once. You'll see why a wireframe is almost useless.
nurbs aren't a real surface... they're an... "idea" of a surface haha.
ah yes what insightful crit we are all giving each other,
oh wait
(that means enough about nurbs)
E : I'm fine with having a thread about what the difference is, go ahead and make one. Not in here though.
Thanks to the help of Deehunter and a few tutorials i've nearly done my first weapon model.
I know this has been done to death but i wanted to make my own model for a mod instead of using someone elses.
I started this arround 3PM and it is now 8:46PM and been doing this non stop so yeah little worn out but any crit or advice on how to make my model look better would be greatly appreciated.
There are currently no smoothing groups so please ignore any smoothing errors im concerned more about the mesh it self at the moment before i go into smoothing.
Fix the nasty non-planars on the front and the back.
Other then that, it is a very good for a first weapon model.
made this for a game. looking for crit on my mesh and how i could make it better while keeping it nice and low poly. right now it has 1108 triangles
E: i can get a closer up shot of the handle with a wireframe if necessary. i just realized that you cant see it very well\
E2: and smoothing advice/tips wouldnt hurt either :D

i was going to, but in all honesty, i think you wouldn't grasp the concept, no matter how hard i tried to explain it.
next time you try to post something intelligent, you should consider whether or not you're making a complete tool out of yourself, resulting in anyone who DOES know what he's talking about, laughing at you. (which i doubt was your intention)
g'day,
case closed.

http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/t...urbsRnot4u.jpg
feel free to prove yourself wrong.
Why would you even need to see the wireframe? There are clearly no smoothing errors on it, so it was modeled properly.
properly and well aren't always the same thingQuote:

i have no idea who you guys were talking to. which of those comments were directed at me, if any? i had a difficult time deciding how to smooth the knife's handle and i would really like to improve. any constructive criticism is appreciated
@Neuro: just explain it, some will understand and some won't. Just throw it out there so people can read it.
Discussion of this stops now.
Im entering this competition on another site, its following a certain concept, where we can make minor changes to it if we want.
This is the concept
http://www.iamglynnsmith.com/ga_content/GAMC01.jpg
here is my model, its going to be a refrigerator/cooler. Come on and help a man out :)
http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s..._uno_testo.jpg
http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...testo_wire.jpg
You could add alot more detail on the sides and fronts like the panels and bolts like in the ref.
Is there a poly limit? Cause if not I would go crazy with detail.
Oh yeah, poly limit is 1500
Go crazy with detail and make a normal map out of it and put it onto a low poly object..?
I wasnt sure about doing a high poly for this one. But the deadlines on August 16th. Should I go ahead and do it?
you should, that's plenty of time.
(in reference, i would get 2 days allowed for such an object, for both high and low-poly, including unwrapping and baking)
I would agree with Neuro. That's lots of time.
Also, where you see little bolts in that concept, go and add them all in. After your done with adding the grill details and stuff, get a tut or something that makes beautiful renders of sub'd models. :)
(oh, you know details that will be normal'd are allowed to be floating right? :p)
yeah they can be floating. I learned it from this cool guy :)
Alright neuro, I shall begin the high poly tonight! Right now, off to play some baseball!
Trying to model something that isn't terrain or forerunner for once.
I figure it didn't turn out too terrible hahaha
http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l4...dels/tank1.jpg
http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l4...dels/tank2.jpg
Obviously not finished yet, tips, crit, shit Im obviously fucking up on?
more detailed model = a happy detailed model.
I'm a whole lot more worried about figuring out how to get the shapes right first than detailing the thing to hell and back right now lol
My work flow (people like neuro or disaster may not like this though).
I first block model my object. Sort of what like you did. But I dont block model EVERYTHING. I just go ahead and block model the main body. (So its a box with a few angles to show its the main shape). Then I go ahead and work on the side details in box model mode. then I take that, and add all the edges on that box for TB. Once I got that done, I add bolts and everything (while adding the detail I still put edges where needed, when I TB). Once that is done, i work my way till I have everything done. Then I just TB, and render.
But there are different techniques for different people. :p
(Please re-render that though. ]:)
I vertex modeled this lol, aside from the parts that are obviously cylinders.
and ok

Give a rough time period, tanks for time periods are very specific in design. yours look near end WWII and post WWII tank, prob as late as Korean War.

I like how the turret, side armor, and treads came out, but I absolutely hate my lack of details, and the details I made.
Might redo this again just for shits though.

Master Chief's epic jump
Models by Bungie
Textures by Bungie

It's like that one FRain made
engine decking looks whack and the side armour is too thick where you have the towing eyelets, plus your driver and idler cogs look no different to the road wheels which is a huge whoopsQuote:

@HDoan, the banshee seems to move a lot slower than the cheif when he is in the air which seems stupid, you want him to jump before the banshee not next to it.
Because the banshee then seems to pickup a lot of speed, it would splat him.
So;
1. Speed the banshee up.
2. Make cheif jump a lot sooner.
3. Have the banshee move faster than the cheif during the slow mo effect.
That was on purpose, I wasn't able to figure out how to model the front and back things lmao.Quote:

Iza bit fuxed.
http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...ng_problem.jpg
What do I do? :( There isnt enough room for the red and blue parts...
Thinking about it, does this make more sense?
dont be afraid to stretch your uvs a little bit. if you get a clean bake and proper texture made for it, no one will notice anyway
Like this.
I will make it like the 2nd image I posted - Like DEE's above - because it makes more sense and easier to texture. Cheers :) I might bake this as well, seems simple.
Another question, if I open a max 8 scene in max 2010 can I still open it in max 8?
that all depends on whether or not you save it
So if I save it in max 2010 max 8 won't open it? :( Looks like I am using bluestreek :/
Ill narrow it down for you:
3ds max 7>3ds max 8>3ds max 2008>3ds max 2009><3ds max 2010
Im not really sure if 3ds max 2009 and 2010 are interchangable, but I kind of doubt it.
basicly, if you save in a higher version, it will give you a error in a low max version. Simple solution is saving it as a .3ds or .obj. :)
Or use .fbx, which is best.
:( okay, cheers /offtopic :P
2712 Triangles, unwrapped and ready for texturing, unwrap might need a bit of tweeking though.

looks good to me
3ds Max 8 doesnt have support for the newest FBX versions.Quote:

It might be more usefull to unwrap the attachments on a seperate smaller bitmap if you wanted to have a second version without all the attachments.
3ds max 8 = best of them all, thx.Quote:

Edit:
http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2..._smg_odst3.jpg
Ignore the parts which have fuxed up colors, that is because overlapping parts which are intensional.

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...MG_Unwrap3.jpg
All the same unwrap.
Since the gun is pretty symmetrical, most of those parts can be "butterfly" unwrapped. And when you are unwrapping the cylinders, have the seem be on the bottom most edge.
I was butterfly unwrapping untill I realised it would look weird when textured as the grains of the abse texture would be going in different directions... so on the edges of some parts where it is chamfered abit it would look wrong.
Also if the person who textures it decides to add a bit of shine to it with the burn and dodge tool then they can just put on long stroke on the edge if it isnt butterfly unwrapped.
Figure with all this UV talking going round i'll show my tanks, see what people think :). Textures WIP obviously.
Tank as it is now:
UV's
That looks awesome, nice unwrap as well. I love the model.
