[Static Model] my first model

[LekyIRL]

Well after some inspiration from [R-Dev]e-Gor and Z-trooper,I finally got around to downloading Gmax(again) and found the tutorials.
Well I spend a about 2 hours for the past 2 days doing the tutorials.
Then I got tired of it and said 'To hell with this!.'
I spend the next hour making/trying to make something.
I this is what I finally managed to make:







I know it's pretty bad,but I'm proud of it.

[Bob_Marley]

Looks good, especially for a first effort.

I hope to be blowing up your statics in PR soon!

[LekyIRL]

thanks.
Now to find out to skin....

[Dunehunter]

The more enterable buildings, the better!

[Z-trooper]

:O I inspired someone fancy

Nice to have a fellow beginner here too

[LekyIRL]

The race is on....

[LekyIRL]

Could anyone direct me to skinning tutorials?
Or at least tell me how to save my model in such a way that GIMP recognises it?

[e-Gor]

Erm, you can't open a model in gimp...

First, you need to UV map it. There must be a tutorial for it in the Gmax tutorial pack...

[LekyIRL]

Okay,I'll have a look.

[LekyIRL]

Right,I fiddled around a bit and it seems that Gmax comes with some sort of material editor.I'll upload pics later.

All right men, on your marks. Ready, set... MODEL-OFF!

Well I liked modeling,but I think I'll stick to mapping

Edit:I'll still upload pics later....

Is mapping diffucult
????????????????

[LekyIRL]

Well mapping was the first thing I found tutorials/learnt how to do. I also get more enjoyment out of mapping and do actually find it easier.
I mean anyone can make a map,it's making a good map that's hard.
