Quote: --- Original message by: KillerKip1I was working on this bus model, and decided to take it to kick it up another notch, its no where near finished, but still an interesting center piece..... the body is separate from the suspension, axles, wheels, tires, etc. which are all separate on their own. Back from when I first started, the idea was to make a Pivot-Bus, with a 20-Degree pivoting center. (was pretty neat, till I realized that I wanted something more streamline). http://i47.tinypic.com/339sw84.jpgI had then remodeled some of it, and came up with this design, the better looking version, (by the way, its supposed to look like a lightly armored bus, but I changed it up with this design, making it more like a traditional city bus). http://i45.tinypic.com/a5dkp2.jpgHere is the untextured model, I used a box to help light it, so you can see the edges better, just added background and etc. for looks =P. http://i46.tinypic.com/2e30iky.jpgAgain, not finished, but a good start, its for a level I am in designing of now, more to come of the level, and other models as well. tbqh, all I see is a box that's been insetted, beveled, extruded, and chamfered to death, with textures from paint. Seriously, watch www.fpsbanana.com/tuts/332 and learn, then remodel the entire thing, because your model doesn't look like any bus I know: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-Address&rlz=1I7ADBS_en&q=bus&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wiEdited by UnevenElefant5 on Jan 2, 2010 at 07:58 PM

Thanks, but I know how to model quite fine, I am not going to devote my life to it, or many hours a day, I put maybe 20 hours into it, mostly designing, doesn't seem like much, but all of the dimensions are accurate to a real bus, (wheels and suspension need to be redone though).
I go for my own design, using a real design, then make it work, thanks though. oh, and I never used a beveling, the top is not even, need to fix that.
I hope you understand that public crit for personal models mean very little to me, especially when my intelligence is insulted on a public level. Send me stuff like that through messaging please, so it can be said with more wisdom.

Congrats, that's not that hard to do, in fact it's probably the easiest thing about modelling.
and I never used a beveling, the top is not even, need to fix that. So what did you do, extrude then scale the extruded face instead?
I hope you understand that public crit for personal models mean very little to me then why post it? especially when my intelligence is insulted on a public level. I never insulted you or your intelligence Send me stuff like that through messaging please you posted it here, so I figured I'd reply here so it can be said with more wisdom. Why would making it private make it more wise? answers in boldE: I understand that sketchup is a personal choice, but I would seriously consider switching to 3ds max or even gmax, because both are more compatible with halo and 3ds max is used by a lot of professionals in the game development field. Also, I have worked with sketchup in the past and I found 3ds max infinitely easier to use. Edited by UnevenElefant5 on Jan 3, 2010 at 03:59 AM

I can use 3D Studios Max v8.0 quite fine, and I purchased mine. Also, SketchUp is a good modeling software, only difference between 3ds max and sketchup is the lines, literally, the lines, just add connections between corners, and its 100% compatible with Halo CE.
I was here to show my model, and say I was remodeling it, yeah, I was tired, so I got pissed at being treated like a noob at this whole "game modification" thing, whatever you want to call it.
The community really has not improved really (other then realizing Advancebo's bad posting habits).
And as for "PM fetish", er.... no, I wanted to keep it off the forums, where it would not become a giant flame war due to public attention. As much for me, as for you.
Any other further questions? (bear in mind I do not care if I am not as good at modeling as any of you, I'd rather not know how much you like to brag, and I speak on behalf of most of the users prior to mid 2009).

And good for you, I did as well, In addition to Maya. The reason we post work here is not to "show off", it's to get other peoples opinions on things you may have over looked yourself. A good "artist" would take those thoughts into consideration and use them to help better their work (if and where they apply). If you want to show off your stuff make a thread just for it. But once again, I suggest you actually make something worth showing off before trying to show off novice work.

True, I end it here, I surrender =P (in simple words), not that I am being attacked. I am mainly still in the frame of mind that people like Advancebo still rein the forums..... (gladly most of them are gone).
I am going to be trying to remodel it in 3ds max, and now that I got it all down right (reread everything said), I apologize, but one question, anyone got easy instructions to 3ds max? I can do all the simple stuff, and some complex stuff, but I have never done modeling without using a primitive.
