Ill be doing a scorpion robotic insect type thingi in max first i will create simple box http://sky-line.sytes.net/creeper/1.jpg Then i will select faces and extrude, bevel, extrude, bevel until im to tired to do it anymore. http://sky-line.sytes.net/creeper/2.jpg Now ill start smoothing some edges to simulate plates, and texturize the bastard. http://sky-line.sytes.net/creeper/3.jpg Now ill add IK animationability to it and add background and effects to simulate the plasma cannon. http://sky-line.sytes.net/creeper/4.jpg this took 33 minutes from inserting the box, to making the final render If i was to use Vertex modeling it would take me maybe around 3-4 hours, and also surround my model with bad connection, bad overlaps, etc. Edited by the Author. - Eternal Life, Or Your Money Back - http://www.befun.dk/ Currently looking for a home (team)

Anyway nice. What program do you use? I made my first model using vertex modelling and I can tell you I ain't doing it again. <--intelligent, witty comment here-->

I'm trying to get the hang of box modeling, but with little success so far... you wouldn't happen to know of any good tutorials floating around on the web would you? XBL Gamertag: Rampant Mjolnir

Tina Petersen Registered 19/09/2003 Points 350	9th January, 2004 at 01:40:16 - okay i found some tuts on it online.. I dont have time to do the tut myself today http://artofgaming.net/tutorialz/hovertutorial.html http://www.3dluvr.com/grid/tut3D/tut3d.htm http://tutorial.stavit.cz/open.asp?ID=638 - http://tutorial.stavit.cz/open.asp?ID=639 http://www.3dtotal.com/ffa/tutorials/max/joanofarc/joanmenu.asp The last one is the best one!

DeadmanDines Best Article Writer Registered 27/04/2006 Points 4758	9th January, 2004 at 07:06:29 - Cool! That's the nice thing about box modelling, you can do it in almost any 3d software there is! I can apply those tutorials, for example, in Cinema4D XL because it has the same basic features. Box modelling is what I use all the time, although I can't profess to be incredible at it; I'll have some practice today... 191 / 9999 * 7 + 191 * 7

Show me the power child, I'd like to say, That I'm down on my knees today, Gives me the butterflies, Gives me away, 'Til I'm up on my feet again, I'm feeling outshined. "Outshined" - SoundGarden
Kirby Smith Resident Slacker Registered 18/05/2003 Points 479	9th January, 2004 at 16:14:17 - Cool. Thanks. I'll have to give those tutorials a shot once I get some free time. XBL Gamertag: Rampant Mjolnir

It's a blast to the past, the age was marked as 14 when I found it. If you know where to look, you can track me. Au revoir.

Muz Registered 14/02/2002 Points 6499	10th January, 2004 at 03:13:00 - Damn... 33 mins? I should go back to 3DSM. Gave up on it after I couldn't get the hang of rigging. But personally, I've always preferred box modeling over vertex. I usually do a combo of both coz I could never get those angles right. I never could get the textures decent either.

It is assumed that the reader is intelligent enough to tell the difference between what is sarcasm and what is not.

Nothing more This was actually to help some of the vertex bleed modelers outthere! Edited by the Author. - Eternal Life, Or Your Money Back - http://www.befun.dk/ Currently looking for a home (team)

Tina Petersen Registered 19/09/2003 Points 350	11th January, 2004 at 01:42:41 - nice dogzer why didnt u finish it? - Eternal Life, Or Your Money Back - http://www.befun.dk/ Currently looking for a home (team)
Klikmaster Master of all things Klik Registered 08/07/2002 Points 2599	11th January, 2004 at 10:52:13 - I had a go at doing a similar scorpion. This my first go, so don't be harsh http://hometown.aol.co.uk/xjoeydude/3dmodel001.jpg I used truespace to make the model, and 3d studio max to do the laser n/a
ChrisB Crazy? Registered 16/08/2002 Points 5457	11th January, 2004 at 11:37:02 - I guess Dogzer didn't finish it because it looks just like a certain Pixar character... pop in an eye, colour it green and there you go: http://www.popmatters.com/film/reviews/m/images/monsters-inc.jpg Though to go back on topic, the battle of 33 minutes vs. 4 hours has a clear winner. When I try to do 3D modelling I'll start with a box n/a
Lew Registered 06/01/2002 Points 1014	11th January, 2004 at 11:56:24 - There never was a battle-I just never knew how to box model <--intelligent, witty comment here-->
