I think I need to practise....

This is just to show you where am I at with modeling

With symmetrical things (such as boxes, heads, bodies, airplanes, ect.) You can make one half of the object, copy it, paste it as a mirror, then bind it to the original, so it looks exactly the same on both sides.

read some tutorials, and practice a lot. you'll get better just dont give up .

One way I like to edit primitives is to edit the primitive's vertexes like the vertex manipulation tool in hammer.

That maybe what caused your bad extents error on your map... Gotta be careful with that thing. Manage to fix that yet, or do you want the fixed RMF?

 

[ceriux]

you dont want to model that way =) i start with a box =)

here's something iv been working on lately =/ still learning though... apparently i cant get the arms/shoulders right.

I need to clear my mind of evreything mapping and focus on something else. Ive been mapping for like a couple years now, NONSTOP. That doesnt mean I wont finish it, just give me time. Also, how did you make that? you started with a box and did what?

Adding vertexes and creating faces works, at least for simple programs like MS3D.

@Ceriux:

You could make the arms separate from the torso, that way when it bends its arms the connection between the torso and the shoulder wont get flat. It wont looks as good but it helps (or you could work more the shoulders)

I use Gmax.....what I wanna no is what tool do I use to manipulate the box?

make a box, select 1 face, and extrude from it to make the shapes you need =)

 

[Stoned]

I think I need alot of GMax tutorial, because I made this big box and I extrude the faces and it just doesnt work right.

LOL stoned! Get yourself a copy of milkshape 3d.... pay the dude the $10, its really worth it. Best program for goldsrc modeling evar!!!

You posted this AFTER viewing the thread where he's posting pics from his models that he's clearly using MS3D for?


What?
