learning to model(finally after 2 years of skinning)

[MajinZGohan]

lol anyways, I use 3ds max 4 to make models. I already have my model made, but now i just need to animate, and I'm not sure what i need to do. I have the bones set up already by the way. I'd post a picture if I had a website

OO wery nice indeed , 3dsmax owns all

 

[MajinZGohan]

thanks guys, but theres still the part where i don't understand how to do the animation stuff. Can anyone give me a very small quick explaination? Here's all i know right now about animating. click animate, then select a keyframe and move the bone. Is there anything else I need to know about animating my model, such as the time? Or am I doing this thing entirely wrong?

Tell me if this is too many polys

Wow.... Wow........ That is really the best model I've seen

 

[MajinZGohan]

dang it there are too many poly. I can't import it to ms3d. I'm gonna have to redo this guy. I'll post an update when im done.

Best model you have seen? Have you not seen a movie with a guy jumping off a cliff, or a cool realistic-looking dinosaur?

Anyway, the model is good, its just WAY too high-poly. Cut back on the smoothing.

Can u show us some of your skins

i dunno but this kinda sucks compared to my first one, and i'd rather not show my skinning ability because it sucks beyond reason, and the fact that I don't have them anymore, but I did remodel freiza form 4 today so i'd know how to model, and there is always that cell shaded model I tried out early today too.

yay I'm done!!! LOL!!!!!!!! It doesn't look right when I compiled it. I'll make some screen shots later when i feel like it.

By the way, its not as good as the first, but it works. I'll probably touch it up as time goes on.

cute model
nice work

 

[DarKClaW]

You are on the right way m8
keep practicing

 

[MajinZGohan]

erm what does it mean to have too many vertices? I just fixed him up a little bit in some places, and when i tried to compile it says too many vertices. I have 2357 vertices, is that too much?

here's the transformation. how come all the specular level all went away when I compiled? His skins suppose to be shinny and hard looking

Very nice for a first model, is it fully animated?
