Hey All,

I'm very new to 3DS max, but am learning a lot of necessary stuff through tutorials online. I was able to create the start of a wheel rim / tire (shown in this picture); however, cannot seem to get the rim to look chrome.

What i've tried so far:

Add a standard material with a diffuse color of black (R:0,G:0,B:0) and change the specular level to 90 and glossiness to 80. Went to material/map browser rollout, maps roll out, standard and chose Raytrace and dragged this Raytrace map to the reflection input socket of my standard chrome material. This i got from my 3ds max 2015 essentials book and did work on the exercise but not this rim model.

Could it be because the Rim is just a linear plane right now? There is essentially 0 thickness to the rim design. If i was to fix this would one way be adding thickness? Also it looks like i 'converted to editable poly' way too many times on this rim, and when i try to edit it, it is nearly impossible due to how many vertexs / edges there now are. Is there a way to 'undo' a convert to editable poly?

Thanks!!!! Would greatly appreciate any help.

When it comes to some advanced 3D modelling stuff, I'm too lazy to do anything.

My appretinceship may soon begin, so I've decided to make something quick. SketchUp 3D Warehouse stuff and Mixamo Fuse 3D chars; all put together within Unity.

I'm looking for image reapers, it allows you to download all images from a website for reference.

I was told about this by someone in the game industry.

When you 3D print something, how do you make simple mechanics work, such as a sliding door?

Do you simply leave a tiny gap in the 3D model so that the door is not attached to the rest and just print as is?

I've made my first ever complete cartoon head mesh in Maya, and now I want to set about rigging and animating it for UE4. I know it's a piece of shit, but I'm just trying to get some practice down.

I have no idea what I'm doing at this point. I'm going to cut open the mouth, curve the lips inside a little bit and put a separate mesh (the teeth and throat) into it. Hopefully then I can parent this to the head mesh, rig it and animate it. From what I understand, they do roughly the same thing with eyeballs.

Is this the right way to go about doing this? I have no idea if I'm just walking into a complete fuck up or I actually have the right idea. Any advice would be appreciated.

Holographic foil shader, where to begin?

My instinct is to have a color ramp in a reflection channel, and mask text/image/whatever in a specular channel, but the results are not quite right.

Specifically interested in a shader for Unity, but any insight would be helpful.

A friend of my boss asked him to hire his son to work as a 3d modeler, thinking he's very talented and passionate.
However, after checking his portfolio, we found that his son has been bullshitting talents and skills he doesn't have at all by plagiarizing other people's works, even very simple and mundane things, if you knew the whole story but it's TL;DR, you can tell he doesn't know anything at all, except some gibberish "alien characters" he did with Sculptris, all else is smoke and mirrors.
However, my boss still wants to give him a chance to redeem himself and save his dad from the sad truth, convinced that even incompetent people, under the right conditions and with the right attitude, can turn from rough stone to diamond, so I've been asked to find him something to do that apparently looks complex but it's simple and viceversa, to test his attitude, see which one he chooses to do first and check if he gives up.
The problem is, what kind of tasks have these characteristics? I've been thinking for a long time and can't find anything that fits, I've already told my opinion that with 3D you can already tell by looking at it if it's complex or not (ie. a renaissance cathedral), but he insists I find something creative. What would you suggest? Any particular excercises to stress test him?
I know it can't be trusted, but boss decided so.

How do I model her hair ?
This will be ingame so it has to be polygons, but high polygon count will be okay.

Hello /3/

I am new to this board. I have always mapped alot in Hammer Editor but since time changes I am in need for something more modern. I am currently trying to understand UE4/UDK but I have some problems with texturing.

I know how to do brushwork or meshes, but I absolutely fail at texturing them.

I have already googled this, youtubed it, asked in the official forums but I just cannot find a good tutorial that I understand for the life of me. So I am kindly asking if anyone here would be by hero and walk me through the progress.

Basicly what I need is: I have made a block mesh and the texture scale is 1:1. But I want to later drag and change the block in size so I can build my walls, without the texture itself stretching along with the block.

It would really really mean alot to me if anyone can help a total noob with this.

I thank you alot

*cough* This includes the base figure who works in either program

inb4 not real CG, awful poser porn, get out faggot

If you're lacking any of the pieces in this package I'd make an account and grab these, torrents only cover about a third of the content in this. It's about 530Mb and the offer will probably disappear in a day or so.

Also you are not forced to use their install manager for retards if you're paranoid.

Me, I'm only interested in making sellable products for this and other figures and figured someone else might be too. I already have most of this shit.
