mon_stdnt - models

[mon_stdnt]

I decided to great a a thread for all the hard-models that I will do. I will post the wires and maybe a render, if I'm in the mood.
Modelled in Hexagon 2

Ok here I go:

its my external hardrive that I have




thanks for view

Nice model - thought the grabs look a bit dark so hard to see the detail.

Anyway - welcome to the sandbox

(must get some more modeling done and posted in my own box)

thanks ash

right now Im modelling a BEHINGER amplifier, but when I went to open the file to continue the model was all jacked-up(only the case of the amp, but when I smooth it ones it gets fixed.

Ive saved it that way with the body smooth ones, but now i can't open it. Hex freezes up on me.

here the file just to see if any one of you guys have the same problem.

BTW: before that happen I upgrade to Service Pack 3_ go figure.

Hi there,
tried to open your file in full screen mode, open dialogue stayed on screen and when I managed to get something showing it was all jagged triangles.
But it loaded OK when Hex was in windowed mode, after that it loaded OK in full screen mode. Why I don't know, but some of my old models dont load in 2.5? perhaps because monitor resolution has changed.

Loaded fine in my 2.5 version. Smoothed or unsmoothed, full screen or windowed: not a problem.

XP Pro SP2

PS: loaded via drag and drop if that makes any difference.

well Ive tried in the normal view and no luck. All the layers name of the models appear but it does't appear in the viewport, also it slows everything down alot.

I never actually updated Hexagon to the latest update, still modelling in 2.1.

I going to start from scratch or start another object to model, good thing there wasn't alot done.

thanks for the help.

I did this model last night, fairly simple. Its a peruvian earing that I saw at MET in New york. Made of gold and a green stone in the middle.



I forgot a ring made of triangles, that goes btw the rings of spheres.
Right now I working on texturing this bad-boy, but first I need to re-fresh my memory on how to UV in C4D, so I have to check out my extrenal hard-drive for the video tut.

I'll post updates of this when I finished the texture.

peace

[mon_stdnt]

Ive figure out the UVs fairy simple.
here a test render of the rock.

looking good - what's it rendered in?

[mon_stdnt]

Cinema 4D, I don't touch carrara any more, even though I still have a shortcut on my desktop.

BTW: you you know were I can get the latelest update on HEX.

EDIT: nevermind, I just check my account on DAZand I have a serial number for Hex2.5. I'm dowloading it right now.

Thanks. Me too, though modo is my tool of choice these days (still learning ) . Carrara still has the edge on landscapes over modo though, so I keep it around.

Have you had a look at the joyful ,easy to use, MoI programme yet?
Something to add as a companion to almost any 3D app I suggest.

Said it before---love watching you progress!

Ive instal Hex 2.5 which looks nice, plus my previous model of my amp now opens, which its great.

BTW: those any one knowwhat the tab--"second life" is use for?

BWTR: yeah Ive played around with Moi, but not really my thing.
Its a nice piece of software to have in your arsenal though.

Ive notice, Ive been looking around their forums.

Off-topic: Well I just came back from a weekend trip to Cape Cod which I visited Marthas Vineyard, Its was beatiful, good wether also. Nothing but SUN.

Two more days until school, its a bitter/sweet feeling.

update onthe earing
Two Uv textures. The yellow texture was repeated on the rest of the objects.

[mon_stdnt]

heres the amp I'm working on, still a long way to go


Q: I was wondering if your pagedown key works for unsmoothing? My doesnt, I even changed it to another key. Didn't try re-installing it yet.

I think they broke that keyboard shortcut in 2.5
