Ok, Now I have something to show. I finished my video for G-Max modeling. Some clips are a bit fast, so just press pause if you need to read the whole thing. I don't know how to stream it, So Rapidshare was nice enough to let me host it there.

http://rapidshare.de/files/3274063/TUT_0001.wmv.html

This video is for the basics. Alot of people (including how I used to be) had trouble just starting out in G-max, so this is only for that. It explains the most commonly used tools, and shows how to start your model. This tutorial is meant as a starting point, and doesn't guide you throughout the whole modeling process, cause some people are too lazy o_O to read tuts ( including me) So I made this to make learning easy and fun.

I agree, that was scary. I skipped to the modelling part, and it wasn't very in depth. I find that more of the video was about the basics of setting up than modelling (which is sometimes good). Try to go into more of the tools besides Cut and Weld.

just out of curiousity I downloaded it too, and for noobs its pretty ok, and i agree bapplebo. in the next one explain more tools.

(hehe but maybe it would be wise to pick some different kind of music ;) or just leave it out. i guess that would make the file size alot smaller 2)

Anyway'z keep it up.

<_< .... why did ya told me to teach yo lwo and ya called me teh masta?

... uhm dude... i really just skipped alot of parts and set my music volume on the lowest volume.
anyway i gues you betta should learn more in gmax urself.. so you can do later a better tutorials and withouth those texts... just set recording a movie however and where and nexttime use ur voice in it <_< nobody can laugh at you. there r so many guys around teh world who talk at their tuts too.

thought gmax is pretty familar with 3ds <_< so you could use some help from girs tut.

I still got respect at you because i tried to do a tutorial but i never finished it might ill do a html tutorial for lwo advance.... <_< ... if eclipse will send me his buu and i see how he did go one with his buu i might go on with his buu head tut... but not now, later.

but still try to do a tut next time when you get much better. (like not only using quads... how about useing tris in a right time?)

Tutorial...OK
Movie tutorial...Fine with me

but HOW you did it just sucks, people dont want to read long texts (atleast i dont) and prefer having someone talking to (together with some text) and NEVER EVER use music in a tutorial...it distracts you from learning anything, but silence distracts you as well thats why you need to talk while making the tutorial...

I can't view it but I think thats because I am behind a router and the router ip address has maxed out the site so to speak, if you want I can probably host the tutorial on fileplanet... but you'd have to contact me :)

Growler, I am new to Gmax and I have the 1.2 version. Pls. make a tutorial also on how to view a .mdl file in Gmax.

I have the mdl script, and once I run the script and open the mdl file nothing shows up and it says "no get function or undefined".
