3d models development

[Alvarez]

Okay, I have 3ds max up and running also, i imported the male hero.obj. but for some reason, i cant get a frontsie view of him. i only see him laying down, and overhead view. anyone familiar with 3ds max, can you shed some light?

I'd say, you just rotate him on selected axis to 90 degrees...
And then, open your browser, go on YouTube.com, enter in search field "3ds max basics" and spend some time watching them.

My homework to you: turn the model upward and make it twice its size and explain to me what a vertice, edge and face is.
We gonna make for him a hat later.

Ehh, mods, could you move it to some kind of tutorial and newbie help thread?

[bikkebakke]

look at some 3ds max tutorials to learn the interface and how to create things, it takes some time.

What you have to do is just rotate the character, first select the character so he is... selected... then select the rotate icon (looks like a arrow going in a circle), then rotate in the X-axel (at the bottom there should be a few boxes - X:[number] Y:[number] Z:[number], just drag the arrows next to the X:[] box, to -90 I think, this should make him stand up. But I think you should look at some tutorials first.



//aww i just ruined some of his homework

Naw, you just helped him. But still, it's not a appropriate place for this here.
Cryptopsy, what are you going to do with the models, even if you get them, huh?

come on Alvarez, dont  pull the mod card on me.

I'll put a RTFM card on you.
It's super effective. Goodnight.

[bikkebakke]

Move them to this thread: New to modeling?

Think it will be good to have a separate thread for that and I hope some of you 'veterans'  take a look in there from time to time, to see if anyone needs any help, it's not so exhausting to take a peek there

@below

--> check new modeling helper thread, gave a quick answer there, but might not be fully satisfactional

[Cryptopsy]

Anyways, bikkebakke, check out my updated post at the top of this thread. page

Same here. Your motivation, organization and results are an example for this community. Many of us are following you from shadows and relaying news to other forums. Keep up the good work !

I've updated 3d graphics development tracker. Now we need to finish all missing models.

p.s. Does anyone have a plugin that is importing .BLEND file format to 3ds max? I didn't found anything in google about that.

Putting texture on a pipe rifle right now. I don't know what is the thingy at the start of the barrel meant to be tho.
EDIT: Sending you, Graf, the club I made.
EDIT2: Edit the wiki, Graf, for the minigun part - I made the basic model and initial texture, Karpov made minor changes to the model and made the texture. I want Karpov to be credited too, however all I can give you is this cool picture Karpov sent me: http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/5815/minigunw.jpg
EDIT3: Uploading a video about the pipe rifle I made. Has texture and all the stuff.
EDIT4: Sorry about the pause, my computer crashed But here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yW82drEbjY

[bikkebakke]

The... thingie at the start of the barrel might have something to do with loading the rifle.

[Graf]

Ok, Haraldx, I guess this model of pipe rifle is good enough for such rare weapon. I mean, it's barely anyone will be using it. The only thing - you probably should add a thing, which bikkebakke is talking about. After that, you can send it to me.
P.S. I've edited a texture of your minigun a bit, to make it fit an Avenger minigun, if you don't mind.
