Some models i did way back, some of the first i made.
all made on 3Dsmax 7.

the first pick of the two people seems a little

Spy vs. Spy-ish i like it

that bokken is awsome, thought i think that the claymore's handle (the gold tips that is) should probably be sphirical it would just seem more realistic.

Hello.

Its always nice to see somebody who it familiar with modelling. I was wondering if you might like to answer few questions for us.

What sort of modding would like to do for the project?

Do you have any pictures of your recent work to show?

Are you familiar with 3dsMax to the point where you could help us make Oblivion quality models. Complete with advanced mapping? (normal, specular, ect).

If not, are you willing to learn with us, grow as a modder, and consider advice from more experienced members?

1.
mostly model weapons, thats what i do best.

2.
those 3 last pictures are some of my latest work, something i did quite fast in schoolclass.

3.
im not very familiar with 3Dsmax, as i only had it for 1 month, but i can learn. and im far from experienced enough to make oblivion quality models yet.

4.
yes i am most willing to learn, thats also one of the reasons i wanna model for you, as well as help with this project.

I love those characters! What are they about then? (And yes, Spy vs. Spy comes to mind for me too :P )

Anyway - I could be wrong, but it looks to me like you are using mesh-smooth a little too much right now. That usually results in quadrupling your polycount. :o That's ok, it takes time to learn how to economise with polys.

Also, you should try to learn UVW mapping techniques. I'm going to write up a tutorial for this very soon, so you can check that out if you like.

well, what we were set to do in class, was make oppositions, so i made one satanic and one christian dude, thus the crosses.
but yeah, they can remind of spys i guess.

yup, smoothed them quite a deal, i only have done about 4 things in modeling though, all i can is like, 2 months time, so im not any good with that many options yet.

il be sure to read that turotial vernon

I really like that first one, the broken wooden katana, its quite good.

Baalzebub · Post by **Baalzebub** » Sun Jan 08, 2006 6:25 pm

wasnt really ment to be broken, but i lost my 3Dsmax so i couldnt fix the blade

Ahhh...maya!Good times with maya.Hehe...I found a way to export to nif.First of all you must export from maya to Wavefront (.obj).Then in 3dsmax you import the .obj and export to .nif.

And I think I have seen a plug-in for exporting to nif.But it was for maya 6.5.Good models by the way.Keep modeling cuz' I like them.

Baalzebub · Post by **Baalzebub** » Mon Jan 09, 2006 9:13 am

yeah, i tried before to export to .obj but only formats you can export to is

mayaascii (.ma)
Mayabinary (.mb)
Move ).mov)
Mentalray (.)
Fbx (.fbx)

thats all i can export to.
probably just something i dont know how to do

hmmm...I think this will help you...

And try this plug-in.It was made for 6.5.But just try it.

http://niftools.sourceforge.net/

edit:Oh shit!That was an importer.

Hmm...try the forums.I am sure they will help you.
