This was one of my first attempts at making modular pieces for environments. Although I did it a while ago, I think that I want to build more parts and make a fully realized, small environment. Any thoughts, comments, or critique on the design or whatever would be really appreciated. Thanks![/QUOTE]
Think logically about why a designer would make something like that, they wouldn't. Try making it seem realistic rather than taking an easy greeble approach.

Pretty nice man, only one that looks a little strange is the knight. I would maybe model it off a more organic looking knight.
One of the first skins I made was a Scar-L for CSS, and now im making a new one for CSGO to see how much I have improved.
HP heavy wip.

I hear ya. I've gotten a lot better about concepting and designing with functionality as the main driving force. For this though, I don't really feel like I used greeble extensively (in the plating for the railing/fence there are some extrusions to break up material and help with lighting) in this but I do agree that greeble is used almost as an easy way out of creating surface detail. When I made this I was trying to think of how to make a base wall, then components to decorate it so I can break up the repetition. Maybe some piping or some sort of panels/grates for ventilation or cooling? I don't want it to be just a boring wall and I also don't want that "LOOK AT ALL THE EXTRUSIONS. FUTURE." vibe. I want a marriage between function and form, because if everything was all pure function, we wouldn't have the world we live in today. Is there any chance you could focus down on a certain aspect that you think I could change or do whatever to increase the quality of the piece?
More Scar! (heavy wip still).

Can anyone help with a small problem Im having? I have a corner to a buildings roof that I am trying to make a single corner piece for, but I dont know how I can split them evenly.
To illustrate what I have.
[t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4112921/smallproblem2.JPG[/t]
But I need to fill in the space with a corner piece.
[t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4112921/Smallproblem.JPG[/t]
Im using 3ds Max 2012, how could I go about making a corner piece for this?
one tool would be a slice plane (in edit poly for expl) - 45deg rotation along z axis.
First select polygons, then slice and weld.

an easy way would be to use Snap to Vertex/Edge (I'm not sure if 3DSMax has it, I use Maya)

(points are vertices)
Hope this helps

Worked perfect, thanks!

I'd like to underline what Azgag said since it's [B]extremely [/B]useful when doing buildings.
To configure snap right click this thing (left click to turn it on)

If you want to move vertices without ruining the UV (in most cases anyway) toggle this thingie in under compound modeling tools:

Also, while it's not really useful for this particular case you might want to look up the Skew modifier.

I totaly forgot how Max had snapping settings, Maya uses hotkeys for them (V for vertex snapping, X for grid snapping, C for curve and a few other ones).
can someone help me out? I've finally managed to figure out UV's and i made my first texture but there's a problem
the checkerboard texture still works just fine

but when I apply the texture i made, this happens

this is hard as fuck

check if your face normals are inverted or not.
if they are fine, check your material (if you have something linked to the opacity thing (right-click > Break connections if that's the case) (Edit: that happens when your diffuse has an alpha channel)
Is there any way to "cap" subdivised models
[QUOTE=skeligandrew;40316086]Is there any way to "cap" subdivised models[/QUOTE]
How do you mean?
Back to working on my Mentats box - this is only the base stuff, got a lot of grunge to lay down yet.
I'd like to do some paint chips on the corners but I'm not sure the UV is geared for it :/

edges too sharp
Honestly, I love the look of it. Nice Bullpup SMG there. I love the sighting system, very well done. Anyway, here is one of mine. One that some called to wild color wise.

i mean its a great model but the edges are too sharp to bake nicely
damn mine probably looks like shit compared to that

[I]I still got a lot of work to do, like adding some more grime here and there, making a specular, enhancing the bumpmap, etc.[/I]
What do you guys think?
I guess this isn't the fault of you but isn't the mp7 a 9mm weapon?
EDIT: nope apparently it isn't
great job on the mp7 btw
It's not much, but it's my first proper model.

Not 100% sure how to unwrap it properly, so textures will have to wait for a little while.
Can I get some pointers on how to do a death star trench? I need to make it look like it will continue on for a long time. This is what it looks like so far.

Try to make more modular panels with more variation. There's too much repetition there. Break it up some more, or even rotate some panels.
