oldflash Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 T7's tut is very precise you will find it hard to get anything better with pictures included for modeling in kotor First lightsaber I buld-it it was step by step after T7's tut. From that I build few more and developed a personal style. But you need to build one first to understand how to do. So extrude 2.00cm as T7 says. You will understand later why.

Yoda121 Posted July 5, 2006 Author Share Posted July 5, 2006 Sorry... I have a new problem: Now we have 2 sections that are pretty unimpressive so we'll give it a bit more detail to make it look more saber like. We'll start on the first section we made and select every other poly on the side of the hilt. when clicking the individual polys hold the Crtl key until your scene looks like this: But, when I hold CTRL on the cylinder, it doesn't happen anything... What I should do? What is a poly? ???????????????? It is one day that I test and...nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldflash Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I suggest to run few gmax tutorials. when clicking the individual polys hold the Crtl key What you have't undestand? Polys means Poligons. Press key "4" to get on poys edit. CTRL+click do multiple selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T7nowhere Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Sorry, I've a new problem. When I select "Extrude" and I make Amount to 2.0, it is a very little cylinder than T7nowhere screen's. Do I should to make Amount to 20.0? That looks like your ngon's Radius is much more that 2cm. I would normally start mine at 1.6 - 1.8 and then extrude from there. However, The guide cylinder radius should start at 2.0. The dimensions are important as it is better to build to the games model size rather than to your own. By doing this you will save alot of time by avoiding having to scale the model, which can cause noobies more problems . Also as I told you in a PM you really should follow a couple of the gmax tutorials, it will really help you to understand where things are in gmax and also help you to understand the 3d modeling jargon.

Yoda121 Posted July 5, 2006 Author Share Posted July 5, 2006 At the beginning, I make de Radius to 2.0 and Height to 30.0 like your tuto. I select "Create" button. After, in the "Shapes" party, I select Ngon in top view and I make 8 sides and the Radius to 1.6 cm. I select "Create" button in "Keyboard Entry" party. I installed tutorial, but, when I go to Help=>Tutorials, nothing happens... Before, all worked very good, but, now...I don't know what happens. Oldfash, thank you, I found the polys. But, I can't do like T7 screen's. I don't know what my tutorial and my help file don't want to work, but, I'll try to reinstall them. I think the tutorials which I downloaded could help me, but, when they work, they are better utility than now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldflash Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 I installed tutorial, but, when I go to Help=>Tutorials, nothing happens... First, when you install gmax tutorial you need to locate gmax directory on your hdd (use browse button) http://img139.imageshack.us/my.php?image=clipboard018mn.jpg After that all you need is to start gmax and press "F1" key http://img138.imageshack.us/my.php?image=clipboard023bn.jpg That is all. Edit: I downloaded help instead of tutorial... But you will find here all info you need about navigation and basic modeling. For tutorials is same step to follow: locate gmax install directory on your hdd (first pic) and under gmax run "tutorials" under help menu.
