3dsmax newbiness

hehe those are simple effects try multi texturing and mixing textures hell i made a skinnable website interface, wanna c it?
its up to next GOOD, WORTHY site who asks for its use too, chrsers seen it, but its too techy for this kinda site... its pretty much one of the best interface designs on the web too....IM me on aol instant messenger @ zr0c0o1 or stealth1205 if u wana c my work... i can teach u how to do liek 3d reflections using 2d photoshop effects if u want xen, that could really spice up that first picture....

I got 3dsmax a day ago.

my first 3dsmax project was making a 3d anime girl... i reformatted my comp over teh summer and lost my work--- and eventually threw out that hard drive cuz it had physical damage... but if someoen can hook me up with a 3ds max r3.1 i can try and write u guys some tutorials on human body modeling entirely out of splines, i can also take a real person and 3d-tize them with 3 or 4 pictures of his/her face front, sides, and can try and model that, this stuff is hard tho and CANNOT BE DONE IN MERELY A FEW HOURS this takes days-weeks-months to complete but i can write ya tutorials on teh face modeling cuz thats pretty easy actually.

u can also get some good 3ds max resources at www.phong.com they have VERY GOOD photoshop resources there too some stuff u probably didnt know u can do with photoshop is theer also. u should check it out.

xenn u should try playing with splines and the extrude function, u can get much nicer things out of that, and also, one of the more popular methods of modeling in 3dsmax is "box modeling" where u take a cube and u pinch and move around the varius points and vertices. thats the more "popular" way of human modeling as well. supposedly its faster, but i only know one way, and im not THAT good in 3ds max as id likbecause i lenmy 3dsmax cds to somebody and he moved and never gavem back <at least i didnt pay $4000 for it i stole from skool burned it and returned it> peace out

yeah, i hafta agree with king kai 3 lens flares are kinda newbiesh its poor judgement to leave a plain lens flare in there- u should modify teh effect when u use it, a VERY MINOR blur usually looks nice on a lens flare for example...

thx zero for teaching me how to do this

I assume you just made the background, added a really bright lens flare, then Filter>Distort>Polar Coordinants( I can't spell that word). Am I right? If now how did you do it?

no, thank the people at NoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNo who put together the tutorial.

Get a share program and search for it.

how do you do the lightning?! :D

• Press D (should make colors black and white)
• Filter / Distort / Render Clouds
• Filter / Distory / Render Difference Clouds
• Image / Adjust (or adjustments) / Invert - Or, try Ctrl + I
• Image / Adjust (or "adjustments" / Levels - Or, just try Ctrl + L. Slide the slider and make the background darker and the lightning darker.
• Image / Adjust (or adjustments) / Hue/Saturation - Or, just try Ctrl + U. Check "Colorize" And fool around with the settings slider.

And then you've got lightning.

wow it kicks :)
