Done a bit more,



And I know that I should post viewport grabs, But its still pretty basic so I will when get some nice smoothing errors

Hey guys,
I didn't want to start a new thread just for that little question so I hope you can help me in here;
I made a highpoly ELCAN-Scope and a lowpoly version of it and tried to bake the normals out of the highpoly thing. But when I hit 'Render' in the 'Render to texture'-window it only renders the NormalMap if I select a maximum Mapsize of 256x256. If I select a greater size than 256x256 it just "renders" a black map.
Any idea why it doesn't render properly?

I made everything after this tutorial and the awesome AK-74u video tutorial from Racer445 but it only works with 256x256 and a less map size.

Laugh yer hats off , its my first project (but it did get me an "A" in AutoCAD in the Technichans course )

Ok, found my mistake now. I forgot to unwrap one little cylinder and when I selected it my whole PC crashed. So I made a new one, unwrapped it and everything works fine. Thanks to Rhino anyways.

Mudbox fun.

Some sort of pulse rifle I made to practice my skills.

Just testing out an old right with some quick and dirty idle and roar animations.
Learned a lot from this rig, so now I am redoing it to give more possibilities.

Very nice indeed, do you want to design me a bedroom?

Cool looking dino Z trooper . know of any good free tuts for rigging and animation in 3dsmax?
I made this silly little animation but as you can see my animation skill are sorely lacking...

Since Wednesday I'm working on a M110 SASS.
Those are some renders of the highpoly (ca. 1,500,000 Polys with 2 TurboSmooth Iterations) and the lowpoly (ca. 6,000 Polys):

looks great, dergammla!
do want to see them textured.

Yea looks like you have made quite some progress. Some details here and there need sorting and sharpening up ect, but it is getting there. Keep at it

Nice looking pics

how long did that take to do

As I already wrote, I have been working on it since Wednesday. Let's say about 2h a day. So maybe 8 hours!? Don't know exactly. But there's still a lot of work to do.

Mad Mike, I would love to m8. You can have an MDF Tank-Bed, Curtains that make AK47 sounds when you open them and... I would even put the new Command tent around your computer so even when your not Commanding...you´ll still be commanding. And then we can all come around with our night-sights and drink cheap vodka in the dark!! what a pyjama party

Brummbar early/mid variant...
