3D modelling tutorial

_Seth_ · 01-06-07, 04:34 AM

Does anybody know of a good tutorial on how to make models for SHIII using 3D Studio max?
Or wings 3D?

Good call Seth
I could do with one for Wings too

Surely someone could write down the basics
After all there are some great shipbuilders on here

You can try google, If you are serious I would stongly recomend purchasing a book on 3DS max to learn the fundementals if you a complete begineer to 3d modelling.

I was thinking of writing an aircraft modelling tutorial for max, I suggest you start with aircraft, as they are releltivly easy to model compared to ships... I been doing max for just under a year at the moment im working on a ww2 submarine, its very tough believe me especially the bow area.
Max will take you a few months to get the hang of, (you get out what you put in) -but its worth it.

Thanx JU
Wings is free though lol and much simpler - I think - to use

Might have to reinstall max and have a go again

Your tutorial would be most welcome mate

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I can make a cube...

Wings 3D is a good little program, but it doesnt have the ability to animate or good renderer. I read that some modellers use Wings 3D to make the model, then they import it into 3D studio to "finish" the job...Thats good for a freeware program as 3D wings..

I really want to learn this, even if it takes a month or two. The possibilities you have if you know your way around this, is awesome.!

3dsmax is great indeed.

I recently stated using a free program called DAZ Studio.
I am really impressed with this one so far.

It's not for working on the models themselves, but you can do a pretty cool
movie with the models!
