Why don't any of you guys bother to create an actual scene?...

This is a quick render of the INC.

I think you mean the In Amber Clad or IAC. I like the covie ships though.

Yeah, I meant IAC but typed it wrong. Can anyone help me with the textures?

its not the textures, you have to fix the uv map.

I was afraid of that.

could you explain how to fix UV maps.... i think it messes up my ingame modes. A tut would be good if anyone knows of 1. I'm super new to 3ds max and a basic tut would be nice.
My models are made in 3ds max 9 so it relates to topic a little. Thanks

So for detail maps you go to diffuse and make a RGB multiply and put in dirty metal tiled to 9X9 and then in the other slot your diffuse...right?

Hey guys im new to rendering and im trying to rig an mc and ive allready read the rigging the Elite Tutorial but i was wondering if a skin modifier was better then the other method and if so can somone help me set one up?

Thanks

Darco · Post by **Darco** » Sat Feb 03, 2007 2:48 pm

yeah, skin modifier is better. and dont use envelopes, use vertices.

Hey guys hows this look? I know that I need to adjust the bumps and glossiness of the armor but hows it lookin other wise?

And how do you put on cubemaps?

Jordan · Post by **Jordan** » Sat Feb 03, 2007 4:31 pm

That looks really really bad, dude.

Don't use any glossiness, and don't attempt to "make" your own bumps using the CH2R extracted bump, extract the proper bumpmaps with Entity.

Tain7ed · Post by **Tain7ed** » Sat Feb 03, 2007 4:38 pm

I didnt try to make the bumps, I did extract them from entity i just had them up way to high and i took off the gloss.

I'm rendering a model of a PSP and the buttons & screen won't become transparent when I go to the renderer. Please help:

In your material under maps theres a thing called opacity check it then lower the value to the right

Ephrum · Post by **Ephrum** » Sun Feb 04, 2007 12:21 am

Diffuse maps are your friend

And it looks like your bump is inverted (for the last MC model)... but yeah, no glossiness... unless you want MC to look wet or plastic

reflect/refract and choose 'file' and put the cube map in the file slots

Yarr... working on a MC-In-Game 'model' for multiplayer (video editing purposes)

Still needs a lot of work... using Jean's H2 MC normal... color maps made based off of that (bump edited a little to my liking)

And this is what I've got so-far of my WIP Lockout...

I may use this is one of my upcoming renders.

The brown end looks like a pretzel.

I can help you with the wispy smoke effect like from a real cigarette if you need it.

Ephrum · Post by **Ephrum** » Thu Feb 08, 2007 9:13 am

Nice Ben, I just looked at my cigarette and the filter looks real good... it's a little short, but the texture on it looks great. The lines on the white part need to be much more 'faded' tho

But it looks good
