I made a bridge for training, I removed edges and vertices where I could:

It's all properly aligned on the grid as well

I won't actually use this one in a map, but the reason why I'm learning 3dsmax is to create models of buildings for future maps. I'm just mentioning it because it isn't a model I build for a scene or something, the models I will make will be used in levels of games (unless I build them for practicing purposes).

As ref I used the pic of this whacky monkey island town, I found it very inspiring:

I agree on the roof, it could be a little more massive.

Thanks for the comments and the tut st0lve!

Ok I got around to watch Issues 1-3 of the 3dbuzz VTMs this weekend and created this model yesterday. It's my first model which isn't based off a tutorial or something. I haven't made the back because I got into some sloppy vertice work there which I will try to prevent from the start with my next model. But for now I'm satisfied with this one. It's some colonial house, maybe in a harbour, I don't know. I aim for modeling buildings which can actually be used in maps so don't expect tons of detail. Here's a picture (no render, I still have to learn how to make acceptable ones):

Yea the snap tool isn't a huge help but I just realised when you minimize the grid boxes it helps more.

How do you guys keep your work clean while modeling? I happen to mess up stuff when I move vertices and such. Is there a way to move vertices on the grid properly, a kind of "snap to grid" function or other methods to make it easier?

(of course I try to move vertices manually as seldom as possible, but sometimes I just have to D:~)

Looking awesome!

rulfen: looks better than 99% of the entries for that contest.

"The village" is trash? :-?

A pitty, it looked quite promising.

Last movie I saw was "Riddick" which was pretty good in my eyes.

They worked for me a few days ago!

We will create a small preview package to tease Valve and then we will sell them for 500 bazillion dollars BWAHAAHAHAAAA!!!!

Ahhh allright! Collapsing works too, i forgot about that tool, thanks guys!

Ok I got object A and Object B. I use the attach function to make them one, single object. My problem is that I cannot target weld a vertex of the former object A with the former object B and vice versa. The vertex of the other object doesn't display as a valid vertex you can weld. I'm talking about "other object" although it's supposed be one object without any restrictions after attaching.

So how can I weld those goddamn vertices?

Welcome to MapCore Clayman! Nice textures, but I agree, the tag and the pic of the orginal texture is kinda out of place.

For the love of god, this HAS TO STOP !!!

Weee nifty

Yea I like the panorama shot too!

I made a harbour map for wasteland YEARS ago. It was called "wl_harbour" or something else very innovative.

Duffy: Download emus! I had one for Advance wars and Advance Wars 2.

yea stalker looks (pick) like an (me) amazing game!

I read about an upcoming closed stalker mp beta test and was about to ask if you (Izuno) could get us in

Anyway, here are my details:
