My first ever project! Yes its a lightsaber[W.I.P]

[HK 47]

Ok, well i got 3ds Max 7 trial and am going to see if im good enough and like it to part with the cash.

 

Ive used a moddleing program once but i didnt model with it i only mapped.

 

I didnt know how to use 3ds but i learn after a while.

 

It took about 3hours of finding out the controls learning easy way to do co-ordinates ect. This is not the finish porject its a W.I.P

 

feedback apreicated.

I havent started the top part when the light comes out of the saber yet!

 

 

 

Thanks

I havent found many functions yet and want to be able to make , Cars (for gp4)

 

and make speeder or something along those lines!

When your making a lightsaber you would be better off starting with an ngon an modeling the saber as one piece, its just easyer to keep the poly count down that way.

 

but sinse your just learning , i think it a good first attempt and you should keep practicing.

Yeah. Think about having a long cylinder and then just sculpting out your hilt. Trust me, I learned the hard way. I had a nice hilt all done but I had three parts made seperately. When I combined them, I had not fun geometry problems.

 

You're off to a good start. Keep at it.
