:-D Glad I could help.

Texturing the klinks is a lot of work (many many layers that require lots work for each detail) - I have to really be in the mood.

Here's my take on the NX. Some parts provided by Atolm, others built from scratch by me.


I'd like to do sometihng else with the catamarans.

Right....

So I will be watching the dropped projects folder on your HDD again.
Speaking of dropped items (Yes, I am guilty too) any chance you, atheorhaven or anyone can get the fixes I want done so I can finish this guy up?
People always said they wanted the government to listen to them and now the government is listening, taking notes and names...and coming to see you soon!

I'm sorry GAFY, I completely forgot. What changes did you need to make happen?

I'm liking what I'm seeing.
The pen is truly mightier than the sword.  And considerably easier to write with.

Just drop me a link via PM, or email me.  :)

Thanks Alec,

The thing about my models is that they still need break models and what not (which I make when I am converting). I have a pretty solid technique to making break models that are actually solid (and not just detached polies) that doesn't take more than 20 minutes per model (less if im in the zone).

That'd be a nice technique to learn.. I learned joker's original technique years back, but that's detached polies.  Works well enough for quick and dirties, but the more techniques I know, the happier I'd be.  :)

Was also offering to help GAFY as well.. but it look like you took his on?

I do basic meshes in Anim8or to lay out the base shape, then export and pull it into 3dsmax.  :)

From there, I add detail and do my other work.  Usually is just quicker for me that way for some reason.. and mapping usually goes cleaner as well.

There is a plugin for 3ds Max called Rayfire. There's a way to use it to break up a model with filler faces with noise or with a spline using it. It usually doesn't even need a watertight mesh (it will fill in the gaps for you). The technique is a little tricky. I'll make a screencast either tonight or tomorrow.

Sent the E-mail to you last night late FoaS.

Lots of little pieces need the work and knowing me I probably forgot one or two things

Looked at their page, it's for 8, 9, or 10.. I've got 3.1 so it doesn't look promising..
