Cool Kids modeling contest, make a crate

[OL]

hey guys lets all make crates and you can texture them if you want and its a contest also.

heres a comedy option if you dont want to join:

hey guyz did i do this rite im new to the hole models thing?

[Mazy]

The geometry does not match the texture, and it is stretched in the ingraved part.

Apart from that I am most impressed.

lol m azzle is spot on

[Zacker]

Sounds like a modelling contest on my level:D

where the fuck is the add vertex to edge tool in gmax

[curman]

under edge, its to the right it says 'add vertex'

[OL]

or the refine button

[mike-0]

um... these are the only options i have

[ReNo]

Dunno about gmax, but in 3dsmax I would (using the right click menu in the perspective view) convert the box to "editable poly", change the selection mode to "edge", select the edge you want to add the vert to, select "insert vertex" from the right click menu, and then click on the edge where you want the new vertex. But then I'm a total n00b to 3dsmax, so that might be some horribly long winded way of doing it

[mike-0]

hm, i dont have the add vertex option, but the divide edge option seemed to do what the add vertex option does.

[mike-0]

how do i show my polycount in max?

anyone got some tutorials for texturing models?

polycount is file-summary info

be sure to convert your model to an editable mesh first or the count is not accurate.

Its come to my attention that everyone is making really boring crates D: and everyones being very unimaginative about it.

How about a broken crate or one with a hole smashed into itor the lid off and something scary inside!~

There is more to a crate then the outside edges!~

could even do a sureal create which is growing out of the ground ~ like a tree growing and add some BS in about "ow im a hippie this tree is already dead its doom to become a crate"

ok =) done.

W.I.P

I suck and can't think of anything creative at the moment, and I approve this message!

[kleinluka]

I wanna make a crate with a hole and georff inside but I'll leave that to mazzel~~ D;~~
