Hey Guys,

I dont think Ive ever posted a thread in the 3D Section... anyways, decided it was high time I bought 3DS Max this week and have been modelling with it now for less than 72 hours. Luckily it is extremely easy to get the hang off (IDK, maybe its because I have a few years previous experience). Anyways, all models in this thread are made by me in the past 72 hours in 3DS Max.

Im posting these here because I wanted soem feedback specifically about my modelling skills... If I posted this in the FPSC Section like i usually do, all I would get is a bunch of "good job"'s or "I dont like it"'s. I am hoping for some good crit which i know many of the guys on this board can give. Thanks for taking the time guys, and Ill respond to you all tomorrow... got to go ctach a train now

Possibly (in the future) Commercial Work{

The Diamonds are dull because my laptop couldnt handle Caustic Light calculations. When i get back home from my vacation and have the horsepower of my desktop I will post a render with FULL effects

Animated Props for FPSC


Random Stuff


Was that enough of an image bombardment lol ... Anyways, like I said, Im hoping for some good crit like the stuff Ive seen on many threads here... Thanks!

Cheers,
Anayar

I like the consoles and the desk,the reflections give them a Duke Nukem:Forever-ish look.

Not quite sure about the chest for FPSC though.Seems like you used one texture and stretched it over the sides.I suggest you re-map the whole thing and start the texture from scratch.

The consoles could use some smoothing groups.

Good to know you finally got 3ds max,did you follow my advice?

I can always count on you to comment Gencheff! Thanks a bunch mate

Yeah, me too... I think the clean look fits them

Quote: "Not quite sure about the chest for FPSC though.Seems like you used one texture and stretched it over the sides.I suggest you re-map the whole thing and start the texture from scratch."

Well the thing isnt UV Mapped lol... I just applied a box texture and edited the UV Settings with the UV Map modifier... It was just a test and will be a freebie so Im not going to bother, but for future models I will definitely keep that in mind


Quote: "The consoles could use some smoothing groups."

Which parts of the consoles did you think needed them? Because IMO overall it looks pretty smooth

Quote: "Good to know you finally got 3ds max,did you follow my advice?"

Yeah, FINALLY lol Anyways, no, sorry mate, I have a cousin workign for Autodesk and he gave me a HUGE concession on Max 2010

Thanks again for the C&C bro... appreciate it!

Cheers,
Anayar

You lucky bastard lol.Congratulations.

About the smoothing groups , this is what I mean :

I can see every polygon,which isn't a bad thing,but if you are going for the overall smooth look you should fix that as well.

i really like the consoles and the rolling storage cabinets the best i think. it all has a great sleek feeling to it.

the ring needs a lot of work though. I'd really recommend looking at some photo's of diamonds and jewelry for reference. Cut diamonds are generally flat (table) on top (crown) and come to a point on the bottom (pavilion) the other facets are smaller and arranged in a rather specific pattern to best handle light internally. A sphere like that will have enormous leakage out every facet and always appear lifeless and glass-like.

Also, your mounting has no prongs or setting of any sort to actually hold the diamond to the ring.

edit: here's one i did for one of the compo's on here a while back, should explain what i mean better

Agree 100%... seeing as it was one of my first models in max Im not too dissapointed lol Anyways, thanks for the GREAT crit Ortu!

May I ask what you created and rendered that in? Because that just looks sick Better than anything Ive done lol...

It's all in blender. The gold is a material rather than an image texture, for the diamonds I textured the bottom using a photo image and set the top to 0 alpha but ramped up the specular opacity and refraction to give the whole thing a feeling of clear depth.

It's an easy trick if you know they will only be seen from the top as the back appears flat and dull. I've been working with node materials to try to get a good effect without the image texture so they can be viewed from any angle at any time, but so far I havn't gotten a dispersion quality that can match the image trick.

true diamonds take in light through the crown, reflect it internally over and over, dispersing it into spectral colors each time until it ideally passes back out through the crown to the eye, this internal handling gives them their brilliance and fire. When a diamond is poorly cut, light escapes through the sides and bottom without all the internal play and it looks dark and dull and that's the problem i've been running into with 3d materialsand shaders... can't quite replicate that internal dispersion other than with some clever faking.

Alright, havent updated this thread in a while. Ive been hard at work on a Free Weapons pack for the FPSC community. You can view the thread here: http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=186647&b=24

Anyways, IMHO Ive improved tremendously since the start of this pack:
At the beginning: These were all made with Milkshape




Now (The newest additions): These were all made with 3DS Max 2010
UMP 45:

Enfeild SA80 (Still a HEAVY WIP modelling). I plan to block out the models first and then mess with he Extrude modifiers to get the correct shape/size:

The arms don't have much of an elbow and there is a pretty noticable seam where the hands join. The shirt it self is pretty good but could use some assymetry in the folds and creases instead of being a perfect mirror. The pants as well.

The torso may be -very- slightly too bulky for the limbs, but then it looks ok from the back view so may just be the angle on the fronts.

It's a good start, I'm looking forward to seeing the head

nice, good proportions too.

The head doesn't appear to join with the neck well, is he wearing some kind of neck attire or should that be fixed?

Thats a small seam where i joined the head and neck. The head was modeled seperately so I had to do a little bridging/target welding to attach them...

It wont appear after the model is mapped though
