Digital 3D Art v9 - General

would someone be willing to become my teacher on steam? so If I have a question I can message you?

After taking a look at all the beginner tutorials, i began my very first model. A simple soda can: [img]http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/546258_413693978652600_100000360038356_1406335_618346826_n.jpg[/img]. Next im going to try my very first texturing, a simple coke texture. Ok so i clicked new texture, image, then tried to load a Coka Cola image so it runs across the can, but it says "Failed to load image". What do...

try a different format?

[QUOTE=Juniez;35987209]try a different format?[/QUOTE] I tried different file size, png, gif, nothing works :/

[QUOTE=The Rifleman;35987350]I tried different file size, png, gif, nothing works :/[/QUOTE] Screen cap your materials and textures tab.

Okay, I'm still relatively new to 3d, but yeah.. I was bored, and I made a clock. I understand the time should probably be in 24hour format, I'll fix that. And the "dial" on the right has nothing on it because I still have no clue how to texture (despite having watched a couple tutorials).

Great job!

[QUOTE=cocknugget;35989374]I never understood this.. the website they got talk about it as if its real life or whatever, but clearly it's fake. What's the damn use of the website[/QUOTE] Same as all fictional literature.

[QUOTE=cocknugget;35989374]I never understood this.. the website they got talk about it as if its real life or whatever, but clearly it's fake. What's the damn use of the website[/QUOTE] What's the point of books or movies or video games then? They're all fake.

[QUOTE=cocknugget;35989374]I never understood this.. the website they got talk about it as if its real life or whatever, but clearly it's fake. What's the damn use of the website[/QUOTE] It is for something called 'fun'. Really the whole point of the website is to give and intresting and fun story to read, it is not trying to be real it is trying to be entertaining. I can't ever say it is really creepy pasta anymore, just a really fun story stringed together by multiple users.

what's this thing called fun you are talking about?

Time to mix some fluid particles with different mass, viscosity and stiffness. [hd]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-e_U7YVUZXM[/hd]

Should I continue this lightsaber model im making for someone on DeviantArt just cause he faved my work. [t]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4849468/Beowulf Custom Mark IV prototype WIP.png[/t] I seem to always start things and they end up being perpetually WIP.

[QUOTE=Quinnjdq;35989003]Jesus man, if this is you when you are 'relatively new' I can't wait to see what you will accomplish later on. Great job![/QUOTE] Thanks! It's really not all that impressive though, I've just spent too much time learning about rendering/lighting when I could be learning advanced modelling techniques or texturing, which is what I'll tackle next. :)

[t]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4849468/Beowulf Custom Mark IV prototype WIP.png[/t] I seem to always start things and they end up being perpetually WIP.[/QUOTE] It's looking good, so I'd say finish it. I would add more knobs and switches though, to make the silhouette more interesting.

And they're expecting me to...otherwise I'm rude? Really... Edit: I'm glad if someone likes what I've done but it's their choice if they do or not and favoriting shouldn't be awarded in my opinion.

People favouriting a ton of stuff, regardless of what it is, to get page views themselves. Was speaking to TJ062 last night and he was giving me a ton of help and tips on High to Low poly modelling and baking normals, so i'll be trying to employ a bunch of them in this new model: [IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/26739117/3d/kousei/ramen_cart_1stblock.png[/IMG] It's a Ramen Cart.

Arrrrghh I really want to get into this! I have access to Max and Maya but I don't have te bandwidth capacity to watch tutorials. Anyone have any suggestions?

Anyone have a decent greeble script for maya? [editline]17th May 2012[/editline] Also update, still wip of course. [thumb]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10565588/Game%20pictures/Render1.png[/thumb]

More models my mech V2 the first one was shit this second one is "meh" at best [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/kGuKB.png[/IMG] first render, a quick build of the frame [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/ijU8K.png[/IMG]second render. added some minor details [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/jMFVM.png[/IMG] third render, added all details and more weapons, I am not sure what else to do with it besides add textures and color.

[QUOTE=alien_guy;35994718]What? nobody expects people to give them stuff, he had lightsaber designs in his gallery and I liked one of them which I decided to make.[/QUOTE] Well maybe not but you see a lot of people thanking eachother for favoriting. Seems a bit weird to thank people for liking something. It's like thanking people for an opinion, I'm not thanking dookster for agreeing with me and I'm fine with you disagreeing with me. But as dookster said people don't even necessarily like what they favorite so that actually does make more sense to me.

[QUOTE=Stinky;35996384]To me it looks really organic, 173 is supposed to be made of concrete and rebar.[/QUOTE] Less specularity would be nice, and more of a chipped and cracked look rather than crumbled paper would help.

[QUOTE=Stinky;35996384]To me it looks really organic, 173 is supposed to be made of concrete and rebar.[/QUOTE] Well fuck me, I completely overlooked that part of the description. Gonna finish the papery organic one for kicks then try something more accurate I guess :v: Actually nevermind. Stopping here.
