newach Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I am using 3D Max to Create a Dreadnought. Here is the first layout: I will try to update 2-3 times a week. C&C welcome ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cathar the great Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I don't know how hard it is to make stuff with 3D max so it's hard to comment on how it looks. I would say the arms need to be bigger and the top a little more flat. Are you using a real life dread as a model or pictures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newach Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 I am going to chage the colors tomorrow. Also the blue tubes glow, but it needs to be a movie file. I do plan on flatting the top, but first I am going to build the basic shape first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mal Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 using 3D modelling software is an... intresting idea... Personall I prefere Milkshake 3D to Max, its just easier to work with, other than that I think you need to check out the tip of an actual dread, there is a slope, but it only goes about half way to the back and slopes very gently towards the front of the model.

Milkshape is just a primitive version of MAX, if it weren't for Milkshape I doubt I would ever have learnt to use MAX myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, I have used vastly different type of modelling software, including MAX... heck I even used to have a copy of Lightwave I was using for a contracted project.... but in my experience I always found milkshape the easiest to use, now if that makes it primitive... then there is something to be said for regression ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
