I just modelled my PC...

Tell me what you think:



And this is without texture and wireframe:



But theres the problem with boole...
At the boole places the wireframe is messed up :\'(
Can't I fix that?!

Booleans are always tricky things, in max, they require a lot of cleaning up afterwards, its best to delete all the offending edges and clean it up by hand, or, just don't use booleans, i find they are quite unstable.

As for the pc, maybe you need to add different lighting, or make it a little shiny because it just looks like a black void in the picture, other than that, its pretty nice.

looking good. Model needs to be sorted out.

As for the boole commands... there isn't anyway of sorting it realy, it alawys produces a wierd wireframe and realy the boole command is realy for rendering use.

Worse than that, sometimes boolean just... stops working. I once tried to make a high poly dice, using geospheres to get the dimples. I managed about 8 dimples before boolean just stopped working and made holes instead of dimples.

I save before every boolean, and often try to think of another way to do it. (Slice plane is my friend).

Because boolean requires that the mesh your operating on doesnt have any holes, to check for holes select the source object and use the stl check modifier and it will point out any gaps in the tri`s.

Also, you shouldent have used boolean to get the hole in the top as you can see you really messed that bit up, and you should use a better matriel than just plain black.

Hallowed are the ori.

despite most of it being geometry based, the coloured thingys look really flat in the render. light it better

perhaps add highlight and shine to the texture. just enough to make it look 3d

looks like your modelling that mesh in the top, if you are it must be v. high poly, and pointless, just use two polys with a mesh texture in it, would be much better, all those lines converging to one point, yuk lol, good model otherwise, i like the front side.

Brains are for idiots.
