about the warning, did u make a collision model for it? if so, are all faces assigned to 1 smoothing group? did u check to see if it looks ok in hlmv?

you have to specify at least 1 sequence for any model. for inanimate objects, add $sequence idle "modelname" fps 1 to the qc file

welp, just out of curiosity, y do u need it to be a cylinder? also, it's a collision mesh/model/whatever, not bounding box, bounding box is just the sizes/coordinates of the outermost vertices in the xy&z directions of a model. and i thot studiocompiler assumed it to be convex unless you...

i'm a veteran many times over of this problem -_- i just uninstall, run Registry Repair, then reinstall. sometimes that works, if not then i just uninstall it again, and install do a different folder/directory ie, instead of C:/Program Files/3D Studio Max, i put C:/Program Files/3ds max...

mm, not that i know of, for the time that i'm mapping out the basics of the model, i just make the model transparent (select model & alt-x) and shade the ortho views (f3 toggles in selected viewport) i'm digging through autodesk's knowledge base for a way to make just the plane shaded :/

... he said he tried downloading it from multiple sources. looks like it's time to throw in the towel and use max :D

first, i highly recommend not using background images for references :/ since idk how to fix ur bg image jumping, here's a better alternative imo heh. what i do is make a plane (or two in ur case), one in side view, one in front view. make each plane the same size as the image that's going on...

erm, perspective attribute editor > camera properties > check "Auto render clip plane" or increase far clip? :/ im sure it's a clipping problem but idk if that's where the option is located, sry if that's wrong. also, are you just zoomed out waaay too far and it's not showing the subdivisions on...

idk about source engine, but in 3ds when i do that it projects light the wrong way -_-(hilights where lowlights should be, & vice versa)

aerosol nades = more fun tbh :p

falloff = area of light that gradually decays from the hotspot to the end of the falloff area. i'm pretty sure only directed lights have that option o_O. that render u posted does bring out the details pretty nicely tho :D i like the "folds" where the butt connects to the recieve above handle :)

not too shabby :p gj and on the contrary carnage, 'clay' renders hide gloss so u can never see rounded areas too well. it also doesn't show hard edges very good either (unsmoothed sections) ;) otherwise, yes, it's usually a quick way to pretty stuff up. when i use light tracing, i usually...

catmull-rom...catmull-rom...catmull-rom... if ur gonna post screens for god's sake don't use area filter :(

looks great! :D i thot same thing about roots when i saw it tho. i think u should get rid of some of them and add more variation to them, it kinda looks like a squid now heh. for the normal map, i'd prolly just do a quick Fiber render in photoshop, and blend that w/ the diffuse texture &...

again, bcus 3dsm doesn't work. it would fix itself w/ new releases, but i'm sick of having to take a week to find out wth's wrong w/ it -_- but don't get me wrong, i'm still a 3ds whore at heart lol

as shinobi said, GI is part of mental ray, not 3ds. and yes, 3ds has mental ray - the default scanline renderer doesn't. someone else will have to tell you exactly where to go to switch it bcus 3ds doesn't work for me (finally gave up and started learning xsi :( )

hehe sry sanada :p props look good, needs more spec mask tho :)

well if the can is enclosed for a while the petrol emits vapors (unstable gases). there doesn't have to be any pressure at the time it is ignited bcus when the vapors ignite, they expand and that's what creates the pressure, ie explosion.

? it's perfectly safe to keep petrol in plastic cans.. the can just can't have a max capacity of over 5 litres w/out a license (after 5L, it's considered to be for distribution/sale depending on where u live)

you're a duck and migrate >:-O
