[Acer]

lol nice. I didnt know what it was doing. What are you trying to do with the eye moveing thing?


ADDED: I just installed Maya 4.5 Unlimited. It has a great workspace, I watched the beginners tuts. I still dont like the Layout and Modeler in one deal tho :P

[Randuin]

heh you'll get used to it... but you should be able to model REALLY complex things now since loft has so much power ;)

[Acer]

I been working on my molding skills. I took a rectangle and turned it into this... http://68.168.210.203:999/moldedhead.jpg just useing Move tool set to Polygons.

[Randuin]

ur gettin there :) very muscle-ish :D

[Acer]

Yep, I wasnt planning for it to look so well too :P

[Randuin]

heh try getting in some reference yet again it'll make it so much easier and look better :)

[Acer]

I plan start off with the eye like you and Chruser did in the Vids.

[Randuin]

hehe okay :) i did that because that's like the more complicated part of the human head :D

[Acer]

That is the same thing Zelaron said

[Randuin]

i guess we both think the modeler way :D

[Acer]

Yep, I am a drafter. I like to start as nothing and work into detail.

[Randuin]

i took drafting in the beginning of the year and thought, ah what the hell, this class is bullshit and i dropped and went to electronics :D

[Acer]

well I am not that kind of drafter. I just have the kind of working mode. I start with lets say a Cube, and I just mold and mold more detail into it.

[Randuin]

oh box modelling :) lots of ppl do that =\ :)

[Acer]

I plan to get into what you guys do. Box modeling is a lot logger. I use it for getting a visual of the object I want.

[Randuin]

i plan to make that alien i made in 3dsmax in LW :)

[Acer]

The one on your site?

[Jamesadin]

Remember, this isn't the Chat Forum.

[Acer]

Yes it is, it is to Chat about Graphics my friend. Anyways we are talking about *Graphics*.

[Randuin]

ya duh :D ya the alien on my website

[Acer]

If you dont mind, make a vid?

[Randuin]

for LW? =\ well it's gonna take a while i can't really get used the tools in LW... i miss the cut tool and the knife tool just doesn't work the same :D

[Acer]

Im in no rush, I was thinking of makeing a detail guitar as my first real project. Sound good? it is simple but uses many tools.

[Randuin]

like? :) i want to do one of those big japanese mechs :D

[Acer]

Jap Mechs? Only mechs I know of are from Mech Warrior.

[Randuin]

you haven't seen those japanese mech comics? omg they look simply amazing

[Acer]

Nope, only Jap stuff I ever heard of is that Anime DBZ and stuff.

[Randuin]

there are some mechs in DBZ=\

[Tai]

If that's true acer, I feel sorry for you.

[Randuin]

lol same there's so much more to jap anime than that :D

[Acer]

If that's true acer, I feel sorry for you.

Why? I dont watch TV much.

[Randuin]

hardly any is actually TV =\ it's all comic

[Acer]

Well it is for sure I dont read :p

[Randuin]

lol well then why do you want a 3d book? ;)

[Acer]

well I have to read a 3D book, but comics have nothing to offer :p

[Randuin]

they have laughs, you need laughs to survive

[Acer]

well I laugh at the dumb stuff me and my cousin do, and movies :)

[Randuin]

lol not if it's the ring or darkness falls :)
