My First Model

This is my first 'from-scratch' Model ever.
I got no idea what I'm doing (lol) and I made it in Cinema 4D.
And yes I know it's pretty dodge in places

.
What do you think of my first ever model?

not bad but the edges are just way to round

Yeah, I'm gunna get 3ds Max to make my gun Models instead of using Cinema 4D.
3ds seems easier to use and has actually got tutorials on how to make Model guns.

lol Yeah, to round. I got Max7, still getting use to it and all.
Crimson, are you implying I should get MilkShape?

Try using some good modeling techniques like spline, plane or nurbs modeling, your model looks ok, but is made up of alot of primitives.

maca_§ · Post by **maca_§** » Fri May 20, 2005 8:25 am

Yeah, gotta love the primitive models.
Once I can be stuffed figuring out more stuff than I shall come out with my second model.

Well, I can help you out if you need it.

Don't get milkshape if you are serious about modeling

rossmum · Post by **rossmum** » Fri May 20, 2005 8:59 pm

^Agreed^

Maca, try spline modelling. Get gmax and draw the outline with the spline tool, then extrude. That's basically how I made my SMG, and as you can see you get a better looking gun that's not all dodgy and rounded. Then you can go back and add detail.

Not to hijack the topic or anything, just to demonstrate...

And another tip, listen to Queens of the Stone Age while modelling. Trust me it helps

stop spurting blasphemy sonictag, we all know plane and p-per-p is so much more accurate. In medieval days, you'd be burned at the stake for stuff like that, nowadays, you just get flamed.

Hunter, i know you didn't mean to, but you DID hijack the topic, don't do it again. And on another note, hunter, you add in detail first, then take it out if the polycount is too high

Easy for you to say...

Katarn · Post by **Katarn** » Fri May 20, 2005 9:15 pm

Lol, get me on msn or aim, hunter, then i'll teach you how to do it the right way.

rossmum · Post by **rossmum** » Fri May 20, 2005 9:33 pm

Not gonna refuse that

So, Mr. Great incredible modeller, what do you think of my first?

Don't be too harsh...

And another thing maca, how much time would you say you get to model per week?

Katarn · Post by **Katarn** » Fri May 20, 2005 9:36 pm

i think it's a piece of shit. Good job. Almost as good as my first, albeit, you did it faster.

rossmum · Post by **rossmum** » Fri May 20, 2005 11:19 pm

Well, I think I'm meant to take that as a complement...

So maca, if you want gmax, get it from www.turbosquid.com.
