first of all, what is this boolean thing? second thats a good idea. did you download it from the website? i think thats where i got the soundtrack from when i downloaded it a while ago.

the main download site would not work so i got it from FileShack

boolean is a compound object found in max's create menu. It adds and subtracts objects to/from each other

looks great
Edited by Dennis on Feb 3, 2008 at 01:14 PM

It looks great. Maybe some smoothing touchups are needed, hard to tell cause it's all pixly, but I don't see anything obvious, except the lack of grimy metal textures

like i already said, i am working on texturing and rigging it now

ive rigged my Glitch Model

now i need someone with great skill to texture it

Edit: I forgot to add Image mode
Edited by gmax5 on Feb 4, 2008 at 09:01 PM

nice. while i am thinking about it, how do i smooth objects?

1. Learn how to hit the 'Render' button
2. Render models
3. ???
4. PROFIT!

Im' using 3ds max 9 on my bipeds

I got 3ds 9 - pm me a link and I'll texture it. Nothin fancy, I'm not that good, but just to get it a step closer to in-game.

And for smoothing, turn edges mode (in Edges mode) can help smooth out jagged parts of a mesh, and then assign smoothing groups to groups of faces that should appear to be 1 peice. A sphere for example, looks like a bunch of triangles without smoothing, but with smoothing to all faces, looks like a sphere. If a sphere was attached to a box, you'd have the sphere's faces smoothed, but the box's faces not smoothed. 2 joined spheres would have 2 smoothing groups
I also use gmax, so I could help with the grunt too if you get stuck

how? do i put the model on the website or something? also, you are saying that you have gmax and 3ds max?

put it in a zip, and upload it to a file hoster like filefront, or add bobbysoon to your xfire and send me it with that. I use 3ds9 and gmax

hey bobbysoon, how far on texture have you done so far?

I'm in the scratching my head, debating on how to reply phase
the mesh is a mess, and the rigging isn't finished. Not ready today. I'll try remodelling it some for you soon

Have you started on the model yet bobbysoon? it has been a week

I did start, on the torso. Optomized, reshaped a little, and rounded. I had fun reworking the backpack - nice work on that, and the rest is a good basis to work with
Any way you might be able to get some better reference pics?

ok? by reference pics you mean some pics of ur work right?

No, i mean some pics for my work. I searched, but all I could find was what you found. I thought maybe you had the game and could take some screenshots. Probably not.

Here's the pic you subtly implied you'd like to see:


Progress so far: torso, backpack, backpack's straps, and shoulder-thing (unsmoothed thing)

that a very great work you have done to the model. you've done even better than i did.

which of course i suck at modeling.

There's a lot of little details I just can't make out in the pics, so if you (or anyone) could post some close ups, that'd really help

hope these help

Edit: Incase you want to make beter texture

Edited by gmax5 on Feb 23, 2008 at 09:31 AM

Yeah! Thats what I'm talkin bout! Those will definately help

Btw have u seen my website? go check my profile. It should be there
