One from David Benton (http://www.davidbenton.net/3dva_ogre.htm)
Have a look at his gallery while you are there :)

He had a much more detailed version (13.5mb avi), but I guess it is no longer available(?)

This a conversion I did of a Lightwave tutorial by Cerreto (aka TravisB) on Renderosity.
It's pretty basic but tells you everything you need to know to get you started using Wings.
There is a serious typo in the first part, I do correct it later in the tut but make sure you read the whole thing before you start so you can watch out for it!

Howdy peoples :D

I was swapping notes with a bud today and this led to searching out for info... to which I came acrossthis wonderful page regarding Welding, bridge etc...

weld tut.... (http://www.geocities.com/paulthepuzzles/BridgeWeld.html)

the person who made this page has just helped me out a ton... :D

Thanx man, whoever you are... :)

That's the work of PuzzledPaul...
Amazing stuff,he keeps coming up with uses for the tools I'd never be able to figure out myself...
Thanks PP :)

There's been changes in releases that affect these - but they're relatively minor - I might even get round to changing them someday.

But considering what happened today / yesterday.....2 releases in one day........:)

Think Bj must have had a weeks worth of spinach in one day?

This isn't a wings tutorial, it was written for Max, but I was able to easily complete it in wings: http://analogbubblebath.net/~crayon/tutorial1/monstertutorial.html

Hola

This evening I uploaded my resident Wings3D tutor Jon's 9 part video tutorial set to my site. Its in the Video area, and if you would like it you will need to register (Its free people... come on for gods sakes).

Anyway, hope you enjoy and I will be prodding Jon to get working on a large scale character tutorial he is planning at the moment.

Well....I love tutorials which can be printed out for later use. I am not much for those video thingies, cause they are often too fast and for a beginner not that clear. So here are two links to tutorials, which can be printed (the one at cage8 can be copied and put into a word document and then be printed).

First one is a droid robot. The tuto is at Renderosity.com, so you will have to become a member there first to get to the tutorial section (membership is free): http://www.renderosity.com/tut.ez?Printable=511

and the second is a tuto about creating an Avatar figure including clothing: http://www.cage8.com/cgi-bin/forums/ikonboard.cgi?;act=SF;f=46

Have fun!

not a great tutorial, but who knows. figured i would post it.juicebox (http://img1.photobucket.com/albums/1003/bootsrmade4stompin/MILKTUT.gif)

I've done a few short ones over at Renderosity. None of them are a full walkthrough for a whole model, but they may come in handy for taking care of certian bits and pieces.

There's a great tutorial by an EI Universe user to create UV's for a head (which EI doesn't do), however, I'm don't know how to handle the inside of the mouth.


It's in the 3D tutorial section of his site under UV's.
Any suggestions?

OK, here's a couple of very simple, easy to follow, tut's I made up for Wings3D... totaly for those who are just getting started...

and, we begin with some classic 3D... I mean everybody has modeled a chess set eh, heck, next to the perverbial teapot, this is the one to begin with.... ;) :)

First, you will make a very straight forward chess board...
Second, you will create a simple chess piece for this board...

Then you are on your own... you use the techniques you have learned, to further experiment and create the rest of the pieces...

Haha, there you are, you have modeled a chess board, and the chess piece... hmmm, maybe duplicate to 16 pieces, "put on" the appropriate squares...

and then... it sort of stares at you...

well, perhaps you attempt a bishop next... a edge bevel and an extrude inwards, and whoila... well, maybe a few other ops... experiment...

you have already learned enough to find the rest of the answers to the puzzle... you can create the rest on your own... and you might even be amazed in what you come up with... from just learning a few basic ops...

Happy Modeling eh :D

Basketball Tutorial... Seems that the link to the original Baseball and Basketball Turtorial is now gone.

Does anyone have a link to another tutorial on how to do this.

While we are at it how about a Football Helmet.

[pauljs75]

Here's two I came up with recently at wikibooks:

Box modeling an all quad car (http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wings_3D:_Tutorials:_Box_modeling_a_car_with_all_Quad_topography)
Duplicating around a center (http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wings_3D:_Tutorials:_Duplicating_around_a_center)

The car tutorial does not teach how to model a specific model. What it does show is how to go about constructing a base mesh which can easily be modified to fit the characteristics of just about any car model. Although it does not explain it, the construction process illustrates the concept of how edgeloops are even useful on a generic car geometry.

The other tutorial just shows a basic technique. Nothing special, but it can be a time saver in some cases.

Click on the window dropdown menu. Easy cheesy. (I'd be suprised if you didn't figure it out by the time I replied though.)
