----------------------------------- TheXploder Sat Jan 24, 2004 11:37 pm [Lighwave 7.5] Part 1 - Modeling a House - Base Structure ----------------------------------- I was feeling sorry for this section, because it has no posts, so I decided to make a Tutorial. This tutorial is for beginners, and up. Follow the link: http://www22.brinkster.com/thexploder/Tutorial/Tutorial.html Tell me what ya think of it.... :D Hope some other people will follow and also post some Tutorials in this section... :wink: ----------------------------------- Amailer Sat Jan 24, 2004 11:38 pm ----------------------------------- :? your site is messed a bit, images won't load :( ----------------------------------- shorthair Sat Jan 24, 2004 11:39 pm ----------------------------------- Worked Fine For Me ----------------------------------- Amailer Sat Jan 24, 2004 11:41 pm ----------------------------------- ah, don't work on mozilla (fix it, mozilla rocks!) an ie site -.-! nice, hmm i think i should get into making images in 3D mAX now :D echo $TheXploder + 5; ----------------------------------- TheXploder Sun Jan 25, 2004 4:12 pm ----------------------------------- Hey thanx, if you have any questions about the tutorial or if you have any suggestions on improment please comment. ----------------------------------- jonos Mon Jan 26, 2004 11:41 pm ----------------------------------- i have a question, where would i get 3d studio max or something like that for free or not so much money... that stuff looks interesting. ----------------------------------- Tony Tue Jan 27, 2004 12:13 am ----------------------------------- you can get a free trial of 3DSMAX5 (not sure about 6 yet) from discreet (spelling?) for 30 days. At which point you reset your system's clock back a month and continue using it :lol: heck, if you dont have a broadband connection (what kind of host will allow you to post a trial of 3DSMAX??) they'll even mail you the CD :wink: ----------------------------------- jonos Tue Jan 27, 2004 7:57 am ----------------------------------- man, that works... cool im gonna do that on my family computer, no one uses it. ----------------------------------- Mazer Tue Jan 27, 2004 8:49 am ----------------------------------- Yeah, or you could acquire Max "illegaly." OR, if you're actually interested in 3D graphics and therefore are willing to take the time to learn the interface, you can get Blender (www.blender.org) for... how much? For FREE! ----------------------------------- TheXploder Tue Jan 27, 2004 12:08 pm ----------------------------------- By the way that program in the Tutorial is Lightwave... Lightwave has the best modeler because it has layers, but if you want to animate something you better export Lightwave models into 3dsMax.. :D. * I guess there is a layering system in the newers version of 3dsMax. Does anyone have a 3d Program here? You can also get Povray for free... ----------------------------------- Mazer Tue Jan 27, 2004 1:26 pm ----------------------------------- POVRay (IF I remember correctly, which I sometimes don't) isn't actually a 3D modelling program, just a raytracer. So, you can model something in 3DSMax, Blender, Lightwave, Wings3D or something, then export it, and then render it in POVRay. Or maybe you can model in POVRay and I'm just totally wrong. ----------------------------------- TheXploder Tue Jan 27, 2004 1:35 pm ----------------------------------- Umm, I'm not sure about POVRay then myself... :) ----------------------------------- Mazer Tue Jan 27, 2004 2:18 pm ----------------------------------- Yeah, POVRay just renders. There isn't any UI to design models with a mouse or anything, it's all done in code. ----------------------------------- Amailer Tue Jan 27, 2004 10:47 pm ----------------------------------- i don't like it, needs coding :| well it does, but its really crappy :S ----------------------------------- TheXploder Tue Jan 27, 2004 11:02 pm ----------------------------------- as the name states it "POV"+ray... :) I'm undecided between 3DSmax or Lightwave.. ----------------------------------- Mazer Wed Jan 28, 2004 8:09 am ----------------------------------- as the name states it "POV"+ray... :) Yeah? What are you trying to say there? :?
