RTW Modelling Video Tutorials 1-5 Released

[Goscinio]

whaaaaat???
somehow the fourth video doesnt really work

Seems like you're right. You can't extract it from the .zip file right? I'm uploading another zip, which is a bit larger but 'extractable'. Not that you'll need it anymore, seems like Halie explained it quite good already, but it might come in handy ( you never know ).

Woah thank you very much hs that was very useful and helped me a lot but to exactly paint the helmet i would need to unwrap the uvw not only create a perspective view wich you might see in the picture

Actually, a perspective view is good enough. You can just stretch the edges a bit further left/right to make it look better, but other than that there shouldn't be any problems with a left view of the UVW. Professor420 even uses a UVW like that in his fourth video.

Ahh i'm feeling alot of in this thread over the last couple of days. i'm glad it's had some life breathed back into it. hopefully it will continue, :laughing: each Verticle must have one bone weight. each Verticle must........

[mac89]

Buildings dont require any vertice weighting do they?

[Windseller]

Everyone who has learned 3d max, though tutorials here and at the org, knows it's not easy, There's nothing wrong with wanting to tell everyone about your achivments, i did, :wink: :laughing:

As did everybody I guess.

The model looks great by the way, but I'd scale the sword up a little more if I were you, seems a bit small compared to your reference picture. Other than that everything looks notably similar, so Great Job!

This is my Meduseld from lord of the rings, what do you think?

WOW very nice,

One little tip i can add, that may well be common knowlage, when weighting verticles you don't need to open the weights table and do them individually, you can after selecting a group (say, head),

tip; Set abs to zero, hit enter, and then set it to 1, and hit enter again. any selected verts are weighted instantly. i've got max 8 i don't know if that works with earlier versions, but it does save some time and agro

Yes we like big swords. and Yes looking good, oh and i forgot to mention prof, i don't know how many moddellers were working before his video's, but i bet there's a hell of a lot more since. Hail Prof. where ever you are.

Oh and buildings, as far as i know all shapes created in max have verticles. i think the best person to ask would be signiferone. :wink:

As far as I know you just have to link you're object to the scene root, as there aren't any other bones for buildings.

Your building looks amazing by the way, so now just link everything to the scene root.

I suppose I´d have to rescale the model first (provided I followed Prof´s tutorial to the letter). And thanks for the link.
