Can you say \"Off Topic\"? :P


Chradraf: Send the skin guide file to Mogura@Fragnetics.com, I\'ll have a go at skinning that creepy-looking spidie. :)

In case you do, sashok20@yahoo.com , send it.

Post by: Jedi on September 20, 2003, 05:48:44 pm

Ah! If you can export it to 3ds max then I will be wanting one. :D renamonjedi@hotmail.com Be sure to put something recognizable in the subject field as it will otherwise be deleted. ;)

Yes, it\'s a quite nice low-poly modeller. It\'s easy to use and understand because it doesn\'t have all the functions of those big scale modelling programs like 3ds, maya or whatnot.
It just focuses on simple low-poly modelling. You can\'t do any high-poly work in there though, it would crash. I\'ve tried that once, milkshape didn\'t like that model one bit.
It\'s nice if you are just learning to model.

yea its good for modelling for cs, quake, etc.  i just use it so i can get used to modelling and get a good grade in comp graphics this year (even though my school uses bryce 5)

*smacks forehead*

you said you are in highschool?

I\'ve been dieing for a modeling class in our school but the district said that traditional art is more important than \'a passing fad\' like modeling and rendering!!!

Title:
Post by: Chradraf on September 24, 2003, 08:57:22 pm

that sux! the only problem was i had to take a year of \"traditional\" art to qualify to take this class.  its really fun tho, when we have substitute teachers we just play wc3, sc, diablo, and worms armageddon on the comps =)

I got to use 3DS MAX to make artwork for 2-d game development in high school, mwa hahahahaha.  And now that I\'m in college I\'ll be learning Maya for using in 3-D game development... school in Western Washington is teh awesome.  Jeese Dril, you must live somewhere out in the boonies if they think modeling and rendering are a \"passing fad\".

Wedge: South Carolina itself is awesome - but our school boards are too conservative/thick headed to do anything fun

(completely off topic)

I used to live in south carolina when i was 4 or 5....all i remember are tons of snakes and my brother getting bitten.  nice place tho, but too many fire-ants

Title:
Post by: Drilixer on September 25, 2003, 11:17:05 pm

(still off topic... but on topic with the last post :D)

fire ants are rough.. but once you are out of elementary school they seem to be alot easier to avoid :)
