nyamomd (= not yet another max or maya discussion)

no matter how bad maya 8 is i bet it still beats the crap out of max

*purpossfullyignoreinghessispost* :wink:

Max makes me want to frolic in the meadows with kittens

and punch babies.

woooo maya rules!

I'll stop further discussions about this now. If you want to discuss this make another thread. This is The random model thread not a forum for what is best. Thx.

So then... XSI?

Warby: I'm confused as to how they fit in with your map? The alien thing looks like it's straight out of Prey? Very nice all the same though!

a clash of styles indeed !!! i wasnt sure if peopel would get it but you did

the tripod the brigth one is mapped all unique on one large texture whcih is supreme batchable but the over all texel density is not as high that is currently the way to go for game art and is somethign i dont like but it runs faster so i must learn it

the colossus the dark guy is uv mapped like a map/level with lots and lots of different tileable repeating materials the absolut "hell" for render statchanges its the uvmappign style i love but that unfortnuatly i have to let go off !

thats what these 2 guys represent for me ! ... kind of like the last stand before i abandon this technique

/edit thats also why the tripod kinda looks more evil than the colossus and looks like hes winning

and yes hoepfully both will look good ingame therers absolutly no garantue either of em will

rofl warby.. best map idea ever xD

Heres a skin I did for my housemates model. It has a single 1024x1024 dif with a normal. Some people might of seen it over at hl2world:

if this is for theb ackgorudn its spot on if the palyercan actualy walk aup to it its too lowres

That's really nice Christ I can see everything in maps being modelled soon!

Its for a uni project, we need to make a game trailer. This is one of many houses that will be making up a town in the trailer. So no real player will see it. Its purely for a video.

lol amazing to me that I still understood it.

Thats a good house for a non-interactive position.

Nice house tom. The supports on the overhang could be a bit thinner.

Theres lots on the model I would change, but I dont want to look like an arse and edit all my housemates work .

very wip

its a skateboard wheel right?

looks cool, but as is not shiny enough as an eye would be, also would be cool but maybe not what you're goin for to have the optic nerve out the back
