Malaika - 3D modeling

Posted by Malaika on July 29, 2006, 6:09 a.m.

I've been playing around with 3D Studio Max recently. Just making things, deleting them, making them again, deleting them again, etc…

Well, here are a couple of shots of a gal's torsothat I whipped up in about 45 mins. They're untextured, but I think its kinda neat. Its useless for anything important, but I suppose its really just for practice.

In other news, our webcomic may be getting an overhaul. We've come up with a new storyline that could be kinda funny. A little silly but you know…

My graphics tablet STILL hasn't arrived and I'm getting kind of annoyed. And my car still isn't fixed cos I'm too lazy to book it into the mechanic.

Danse Machina is coming along. I changed the look and feel of the servo-arm (it shoots electric 'grabber' beams with the middle mouse button - the grabbing is better now too). New explosions courtesy of Explogen (if anyone knows any way to make really nice explosions, please let me know).

I still need to get started on the first level, but its all plotted out so it won't be drastically difficult.

The menu looks slick, and there are a couple new weapons as well as tweaked old ones.

I'm stuck with Canvas. I can't figure out how to make it take a screenshot of the WHOLE canvas - it will only take the shot if its in the window. Annoying. Also, I'm running into problems resizing the window. I have no idea whats wrong with it. I'll get it though.

Good luck with the problems. The model looks amazing - moreso considering I haven't seen many models done by people that didn't compose of geometrical figures.

:P thankies. Canvas is pretty boring though. I think I'll have to add a tileset loader to it to make it interesting. That'll be *fun* to code…

A couple of things… Firstly, looks like you spent a lot of time on the boobies! Secondly…OVERHAUL? WHAT THE FUCK? I was the creative genius behind the original concepts. Why don't i know about this? Thirdly, just a short piece of news in the world of Nny… I got to second base on a dance floor, and hooked up with 3 other chicks on the same night! Woohoo! I rule!

lol good job Nny - its about fucking time. And I'll fill you in on MSN.

The *breasts* didn't really take that long to do - doing the nipples first makes the rest super easy.

Cool models. Will check out some of your other art ;)

Why don't you commision teknogames to make tiles for you?

Where do you get this software?

Malaika 18 years, 3 months ago

…what software? Canvas? Check the WIP section. It IS a work in progress though, be warned… Oh and thanks oliv! I haven't really done much art stuff, but you can see what I have done in previous blogs.

I didn't know teknogames did tiles… I might have to suck up to him a bit.
