Rocks



The rocks look a lot better, though still not as good as I would like. I think its because I only used one rock and stretched it and rotated it a lot. That really messed with the texture and displacement. I'll have to try playing around a little more with it, but I think I can work with this for now. I took the displacement down a lot of the rocks to make them a bit more 'greyer' like the rest of the scene since nothing else has textures.

I got the rock tutorial from free3dtutorials.com

Modeling Intro



So I tried animating my lighthouse scene for the opening to my 3D modeling reel. Unfortunately the water needs a bit of work and the light on the lighthouse is going a bit fast. I still need to work on those rocks too.

Maybe if I actually get done with fixing this I might try and do the texturing.

Maybe...

(If the video is to dark try here.)

Car Beginnings



It's still no where near done, and doesn't quite look like the car it's supposed to be yet. I know the texture will definitely help it a lot, but I still have a lot of kinks to work out in the model.

Rims



Used another tutorial to make some rims for tires. I didn't bother adding lighting or shadows for this pic because the tires are going onto the car, I just made a quick render to see what they look like.

The tutorial is by Mike Nuts and can be found at http://www.3dvalley.com/tutorials/modeling-a-car-rim-in-3d-studio-max

Tires



Decided to try and model a car. I found a decent tutorial for tires. Unfortunately my computer crashed after I downloaded the video so I don't remember where the video is from. Though the video itself says its from 3DNuts.com, so we'll go with that.

Vitamins




I think I have to play around more with the bump maps on this, but for some reason my 3DMax keeps going wonky on me and won't let me select any polys. I'll try working on it again tomorrow. I should also try to find a better label it looks all chopped off and stretched.

Nail Clippers




I tried making this using only smoothing groups, unfortunately I think nail clippers are a bit to smooth for this.

They are pretty low poly though.
