make the left handed barely visible, like no farther than the wrist. rotate it to the left, and maybe make it a fist? idk

@juan

It's possible that a directX option may have caused this. If you go to your start menu>programs and find autodesk 3ds max there, you will see a program named "Change graphics option," Change the directx options and see if it is solved.

If not, then max simply triangulated those faces. Right click the object > convert to> editable poly, and go under edges. Select those edges and press backspace.



Try to make the left hand fingers look as relaxed as possible.

More serious and correct reply: you have changed your viewport rendering drivers/directx settings. It does that to me when I try and use DirectX11 drivers, as pretty as the drivers make everything look, that is the only problem, especially when you are trying to sub'd model.

There is an option to not show all of the triangles when using that driver but it didn't work for me :/

Nobody is interesting by my pictures :(

Reach mod for CE ? Do you know ?

Lol - Hater much? I make what I want to make, for experience and for my personal enjoyment. Not to please childish forum members like you.

The troll fad is over. Unless you are Juan who thinks it is still cool to troll in threads because he is a dumb little kid. No wait correction: a dickweed.

Ultimately, I agree with broke. However I think it's better to get rid of the left hand entirely. I don't know why anyone would hold out their hand like that just because they're carrying a wrench. I also think its better to not have the right hand gripping the wrench like a gun, pointing forward like that. It would be much more interesting to look (not to mention more natural) at to have the right wrist rotated slightly toward the camera, showing off the wrench's features a bit.

Like this. Keep in mind that the actual swinging animations are sub par, we're only looking at the origin here

Fix'd!

@Aglion: I wouldn't get rid of the left hand, I think it looks better like that (if you fix the way the hand is resting), without the left hand there it looks a bit awkward in my opinion.

I just altered a Roosterteeth quote.
Anyway, please keep my post in mind, everyone.
To Juan: all 3d geometry is triangles, and two triangles make a square.
When I said F1, I mean to search the word 'champher' in the help guide after pressing F1.
Convert the box to editable poly or mesh. Press the edge-select button (I think it's also 2 on the keyboard). CTRL+click to select the outside edges of the box. Then you can press champher in that tools pane... and play with that.

Thanks, that's pretty much the most help I've ever gotten off of these forums. Those origins aren't my best work; I haven't done much practice with melee weapons/non-shooting weapons.

nvm

You are asking who he is? More like who are you? Excuse me, don't want to sound like an ass but Josh, and I and many other people have been here much longer than you, as I personally have never heard of you, so who are you to crawl out of the woodwork and troll?

As you can clearly see, hunter is the ultimate boss of this place, and since hes never heard of you im afraid you must go.

Ga-haha, how did I know that someone would blow things outta proportion. Love ya man, your always a laugh :P

cool story bro :)

It seems lost to the depths of time...

What's mine?

may I hold out my palm for a reading

and? do I have aids or not?

jesus this guys good

That's also just the modeler.. He enjoys making things as complicated as humanly possible and then applying a turbo smooth with many iterations to ensure that it has a ridiculously large number of polygons... it gives him a satisfying sense of superiority on a forum that largely consists of beginner modelers...
i do the same sometimes ;)
