I will get the hang of it soon, .

[Golan]

Its naic as a start bt u should not be using primitices all the way, aill only make it more complicated 4 u to switch to per vertex/poly editing.

[Judgement]

Abourror dont be so harsh : P
Everyone starts off small and moves on. You learn.
its a good tank(s) so far, just keep at it.
Get the hang of it first.

practice, the best tutorial

True, but it's a bit hard to practice when you don't know how to start.


About the tank: I like the look of it, to be honest. However, there are a lot of segs that could be deleted without any worry about detail. If you e-mail it to me, I can low-polyize it for you.

[Futschki]

i wasnt at all harsh judgement was i

Ldm is right but why dont tell him how to lowpolyize it instead of doing it ourselves?

[Shirou]

Inset and Extrude modelling is way more effective at keeping the polycount low, even though it may be harder to get the right shapes

[Ellipsis]

Ya, with low segs, the extrusion doesn't get the shape I want.

[Futschki]

Ever used Connect two edges ... helps a damn lot

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

Ha ha...

I find it quite ironic i was saying the exact same thing (even with the pic/diagram) to you a year or so ago, Abourror

Should I actually use edge instead of many segs?
Though it doesn't really give me what I want.

This is the second time a once noob has got on there high horse recently. Makes me laugh

Remember, everyone was like elip once, and in some cases - worse and much more annoying.

/end OT

[Ellipsis]

Lol, noob, ?

-Noob=Ellipsis -
What do you mean as high horse?

Edited by Ellipsis, 05 January 2008 - 01:39.

[Ion Cannon!]

Basically it means someone who was once in the same situation as you. Judging you in a negative - unhelpful way.

Basically say I say to someone " lols your particles suck11!! "
I wouldn't do that, as its unhelpful and un-needed. And while now my particles are good, they once used to be just as bad as everyone else ^ So that would be me " getting on my high horse "

[Ellipsis]

I see..

[Golan]

You should try this technique instead - working on a purely vertex/poly level. It´s better if you want to keep the poly count low.


I´ll see if I can get a less complicated, better understandable example later.

[Ellipsis]

Yeah I use the vertex thing to shape the way I want a certain item to look. Though if it is complicated don't you need more segs to model more efficiently?

Finished a model and it has very low poly,:biggrin:.
Though I saved it as an .P3D how do I convert it into a gmax file?

[Golan]

No segments or anything. I don´t work on vertex level for editing but for creating, then polys are clamped between the polys - naturally, some vertex/edge/poly cloning speeds up the work flow extremely, but the basic shape, combining different model parts etc. is done on vertex LVL only.

[Futschki]

@Bob :

Well yeah maybeit was just a bit hard for me to understand or I didnt get you right or something ... I cant remember

@Ion Cannon :

I wonder if you are talking about me ... if so then I dunno what you are talking about, and if u meant that pic I wasnt
"Judging Him In a negative" I was just showing him his mistakes in a funny way and I dont think Ellipsis took it that offensively(If He did then I am sorry ) ... And yeah I was a noob ... everyone was ...
And if u werent talking about me then Nevermind the whole paragraph

[Ellipsis]

Thanks Golan.

Abourror I didn't take it offensively but more like helpful.

-Though anyone know about the file conversion on the .P3D file?

[Blue_Fox]

Hi.
I have installed Gmax12 and RenX & W3D Viewer. Also copy the W3D importer in GMax
Now get an error wenn try open a W3D model.
In the open file box it noticing the file extention but cant open file.
Or wenn try to import a file: No appropriate import module found/improper file format.

What did i do wrong?

You've neckro'ed a topic.

[Blue_Fox]

Explane yourself.

[Dauth]

He means you posted in a topic that has gone 2 weeks without response. However we allow topics to be 'necroed' if they contain new information, this new petition for help fits that bill (you could have made a new topic) so I decided to leave it open, hoping someone would response with help.

[Blue_Fox]

Ooh, thx.

Not wanna make for everything a new topic. I searched but couldnt find anything.
Btw, i'm new at this site.

[Dauth]

Don't worry, I'm just waiting to see if one of the modellers could help you out.
