not bad stevend....Obviously, you are learning Max and believe me, as anyone will agree, Max is a huge program to learn. It appears that the model isn't quite finished yet, but it is off to a good start. Keep up the good work and make sure to update often.

Later
Steve

 

A good start...needs more work

 

There's nothing to say. Nothing to critique, nothing to offer advice on, etc. You need to practice on your own for months.

 

thanks guys....ill keep working at it....also....whats some good programs to burn dvds onto the com....?

 

Small up date didnt change that much pixels collection arm

Stevend, you're doing well, keep working at it.

And stop trying to hijack his thread people

 

Oh, now im starting to see it

very nice.

 

Hey, looking good so far. A lot better then the stuff I was doing when I first started learning 3d studio max. I tended to try and stick with modeling spheres and cubes in the beginning.

 

krappy quality but yea heres an update[image=http://img47.imageshack.us/img47/8687/fresh0sl.jpg]

 

good job!

same here, you're much better than i was after 2 weeks of using. All i could do was rendering out others's 3d stuff from scifi3d XD XD XD.

Your learning really fast, keep it up. All i can say is digg out as much tutorials on internet as you can, and go through them, even if their not really about whats your doing.

 

That's coming along very nicely. I modeled the same thing.

 

thanks, ill put some updates up later...

 

hej Stevend, i was wondering how you did the pathern on the floor of the walkway, I see a lot more people doing that, but do you just add different shapes to it or what ? :

looks very good keep it up

 

i think i just made a plane then added somr booleaned prisims to it.......just followed the pattern i saw in my ref pics.....
