Tutorial exercise: (Calling all Noobs)

#421

Its a bit dark, I cant really see the model properly - lighten up the scene a bit. What parts did you have trouble with in the sword tut?

#422

I have run into one of them “snags” on the first step…
heh…
actually… its like… before the first step…
On my left viewport i dont see the texture on the plain… but i do in prespective… and in the material editer i do have that little box checked…

Heres a screenshot

#423

red, right click where it says Left and click Smooth + Highlights

#424

God damnit! if this is supposed 2 be a newbie tutorial howcome they dont frikin explain so an actuall newbie (very new starter) like myself can understand it?

First step:
For the beginning start in left viewport, extrude one face from the cube, like show on picture on the left. Repeat this process and adjust the vertexes.

How do i know how 2 extrude a face on the cbe?
why would i repeat that process? wtf is up with this, i cant understand jack crap!

#425

take a damn breather. it’s really not a ‘noob’ tutorial as a lot of stuff isn’t explained. you extrude it because you want more poly’s to work with…basically forming the foot.

#426

Sigh… sorry… i just had one of my … ‘special’… moments…
ITs just a hard step from a year of photoshop to 3dsmax expecting to understand everything with it… apparently i dont…

How do i ‘extrude’ an object.

#427

red, are you on cable/dsl?

Wouldnt that be like adding more segments in the object?

Edit>> Cable

red. if you have dsl/cable goto 3dbuzz.com RIGHT NOW!!! and sign up. Goto the downloads section… click yes to the agreement (only after you’ve read it wink) and goto the Max section. Start off with the first CD and download ALL of the VTM’s. i shiz you not, when you come back after doing all four of those cd’s you’ll have a better if not complete understanding of how to do this tutorial as well as other stuff.

rofl I must be annoying the hell outa everyone… anyway… sorry…
And i did do some of those earlier… got really boring… but thats ok… ill watch the rest of em…

#431

anything you learn when first starting out may be boring. when you think about it … anything you first start out on will be the hardest time you have with the subject. the content isn’t what’s hard it’s just getting over that first step. once you’ve learned the fundamentals everything else is but a degree of the source. watch the buzz videos and if you have any questions make a new thread (keepin’ this one on track). :thumbsup:

#432

guess noone like my sword:annoyed:

#433

xerozz: nice material!! how did umake it? any special renderer?, really cool

#434

sword is pretty decent. material would suit something else :wink:

#435

I am stuck at welding.
Ouch I know its simple but I forgot. I saw the manual and did the way it says but :frowning:
When trying the target weld… it doesnt give me that cross and dotted line etc.
Can anyone guide me plssss.

Here i s the link -> http://216.136.200.194/auction/Feb/20032191045033087265398.jpg

OH and I am so slow:rolleyes:

p.s The sword is nice. Just the right materials would do.

#436

ok. The tutorial said to do the weld target however I did the selected weld. Does taht makes any difference?

#437

JZee

No difference, Same result, just different ways of doing it. As long as you welded the vert’s you wanted to weld it make’s no difference how you did it.

Cheers, Bur147

#438

#439
