and None77, people have already told you that you need atleast 512RAM to play it, but still you keep bashing Valve for releasing a buggy program. you're question has been answered, now either go buy the RAM you need, or stop posting crap about...
got any background info on why in gods name the US and UK would try and take on the UN ? seems like a bit of a radical change of events from those atm.
good models are normally the result of using more then one technique. you should aim to learn a few ways of working before you start on a full project. it also helps to have a practical mind and be able to figure out the best way to solve a problem but its all dependant on the subject.
stick up wires of each part and we might be able to help out. i can think of a few areas where you can often optimize, but i need to see how youve done it in the first place.
the way you model a gun is the same way you model anything else. the same principals apply. you should aim to know a variety of techniques before you start on a project. this way, you should model it faster and end up with a better result. i dont know any good tutorials for total newbs, because...
well theres no exporting tools or convertors for any program yet, and i doubt theyll release an official one for Blender. youll have to wait and see if someone makes and unofficial one.
yeah, itll be possible when the tools come out, definitely with Max7 and im pretty sure with Max6 ( cause that was the latest version when they started making it :p ). not too sure about 5 though.
dont get so angry. yeah, its annoying but its not as if HL2 is your life...well i hope its not. you cant do anything besides keep trying and hopefully ( before 5 weeks ) we'll get to download it. i was thinking...i might even be able to get it off a mate if he backs up his .gcf files
i havn't been able to connect so far...ever. i was trying everyday at different times throughout the day for a week until the release. now i get the same problem, it just says try in a few minutes...not hours. someone told me to try and set up a macro, which i found a bit of freeware that you...
looks very nice, but yeah, the face is a tad manly. the lower arms... dunno what it is, but the seem to be unnaturally bent, i think you might get a better result if you were to have the palm of the hand facing forwards... although less normal thats the way its sposed to be.
ill add more...
how about using the official tuts you get with Max ? they work pretty well, and if you still cant get it, then find any tutorial for any program, the principal is always the same.
looks pretty good, the polycount is a bit high, and looks kinda simple to lower, but that would lose you some of your detail. just curious, how did you make the tyres ? the spacing seems very irregular between the sections, kinda as if...you made them by extruding a cylinder.
