Finished Works and Works in Progress / Re: my first model - ATAT Walker
« on: June 26, 2009, 02:12:33 am »
Oh no, disaster!!!! My wonderful stepson contrived to install 2 viruses on my PC and continued using it despite frequent virus warnings popping up! By the time I found out, over 200 files where infected  >:( Nothing for it but a format and re-install.

But I'm not stoopid! Saved all my photos, music and work to USB stick first, using a Linux live CD  ;D

But double disaster... neither Windows nor Linux will read the USB stick now :( dont know why. So I lost everything.

Never mind.... got a nice clean dual-boot XP/Linux system now, itching to start something new..... waiting for inspiration.

Got a feeling I want to model something old-tech, maybe Stevenson's Rocket steam loco. And I want to concentrate on doing it very high quality too. Watch this space....

I think I learned a lot from doing the AT-AT, especially about planning the model and managing the resources and realising what parts need to be seperate objects!!!

Cheers, (an almost calmed-down now) Renners

Thanks Floyd, but why the wink? It IS my first model, if you don't count an eggplant, a hand, a strange walking bird and Joan of Arc's left leg (got bored of that one!)  ;D ;D
I've done a lot of tutorials and exprerimenting in various 3d apps, but this is the first time I've produced anything myself from scratch.

Oh, and this: http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=53895bc02d46585d9be5aee32efce62f


Thanks for the tip 3D Joe.

Cheers, Renners

Some progress.... boned, posed and partially textured:



Partially textured because Anim8or gives me "cant open texture file" errors when I load the model. I haven't moved or changed the files, is this a bug? (I'm using 0.97d beta).

Cheers, Renners

Hi, this is my first ever 3d model (apart from a house I did in Sketch-up a year ago).

The object of this model is to teach myself the techniques by just doing!



Next up is to detail and texture the model. Then I'll bone the legs and put it into a walking pose... maybe even try animating it  ;D

All comments welcome!

Cheers, Renners

General Anim8or Forum / hi! and... how to remove reference image from Anim8or?
« on: June 14, 2009, 01:02:31 am »
Hi there, I've just started teaching myself modeling, and chose to use Anim8or because 1. It's not over-complicated (tried Truespace and Blender, both baffled me!!!) and 2. It's free!!! Thanks and respect to the author!

I'll stick a shot of my first masterpiece in the artwork section...

For my first dumb question.... I modeled from a reference image which I no longer need, but I cant figure out how to remove the image now....?
