3DS MAX Renders for n00b's (part 1 of 2)

yeah i thought of that, instead of skinning a warthog and then having to turn on your xbox and go thru a long process you can just use 3dsmax

yep, that's a good advantage of rendering too. Use Platt's sticky tutorial for 3dsmax to help with the bipeds. Or just do what i did and click "help" in 3dsmax, and then click "tutorials" and do a search. Much easier.

it is indeed,

I guess Platt's tutorial is good for SOMETHING... lol

j/k platt, it was pretty good, but U assumed we all knew as much as you did.

Using that tutorial for some reason the files while in photoshop looked like garbage

when finished, will i be able to rig these and turn em into tags for pc?
those are halo 2 tags i need to go through a conversion process to make tham able for usage on halo pc (actually ce [Custom Edition]).

umm all i have to do is export them using blitzkrieg and then idunno what to do.
(give a guy a break geez)
you should try to search for ce if you already dont have it.
(it makes you able to make your own maps)
but i only have halo 1 models/tags. so i'm gonna make eveyr halo 2 tag and place it on my custom map.

ther folo this link:
www.halomaps.org

i don't believe anyone here has any plans of putting anything back into the game, i could be wrong, but that's not the point of rendering

He did, and he did right.
He assumed only intermediate users would read it, and not the fucking noobs.

I think this tut is awesome i just wish it explained how to get the alpha maps for the change_color .dds files, instead of just letting us download them. I could never figure out how to make the alpha maps with the other rendering tut but i've never used photoshop so that is probably one of my problems.

rossgemuend · Post by **rossgemuend** » Thu Sep 22, 2005 7:06 pm

that's beacuase there are no alpha maps for the change color maps. What Platt did, is open both the change color map, and the corresponding diffuse map (example: masterchief_cc.0.0.dds and masterchief.0.0.dds), then make them both the exact same size (ctrl+alt+i) and then go to the "images->calculations" and use the multiply setting with one pic set as the red channel of a color change map and the other pic set as the alpha channel of the diffuse map.

So I let you donwload them,

To cut down about 10 more pictures... and save about 10Mb of bandwidth... lol

Hey Zmann966 is there a tutorial on how to create a diffuse color map, since i have yours i really don't need it for Halo, but there's other project that i am working on and i would like to know how to create the diffuse mix map.

[CV] Jordan · Post by **[CV] Jordan** » Tue Sep 27, 2005 4:31 pm

isnt the diffuse map jsut the normal skin? then you add color to it later?

Tiptup300 · Post by **Tiptup300** » Tue Sep 27, 2005 4:51 pm

how do i get the bump map of the warthog?

[CV] Jordan · Post by **[CV] Jordan** » Wed Sep 28, 2005 1:48 pm

the same way you got the bump for everything else

Tiptup300 · Post by **Tiptup300** » Wed Sep 28, 2005 3:26 pm

no, because almost all the things have the blue bitmap with it, that we use for the bump mapping but the warthog doesnt have it
