Links To Designing Everything You Need Here

Sticky Me

Here are links to

tutorials - textures - images

I use these often to create my models and skins
during my 7 years of college and university i have worked with different kinds of media and i suggest you experiment the same way, for example i sometimes unwrap my models then copy the wireframe of the model, copy, print 'to a3 size' then make a collage out of any material be it wool paper of all kinds paint, charcoal, wool, ink, chalk newspaper and paper mache to get a realistic effect then scan it all back in to map it to the model, its fun - interactive - and a good way of learning

3D Modeling - Beginner's Tutorials

3d modeling Reference
Webreference.com's section on 3d design and modeling - info on various modeling programs and general concepts of modeling. Great to start off if you want to understand 3D modeling but can't fork out lots of money to buy computer books.

What are N.U.R.B.S (NURBS)?
A Webreference introduction to NURBS. Learn mesh modeling first though

Comet's Head modeling Tutorial
Starts off with a photo of a face, ends up with a mesh of a human head

Ghoul's Spaceship Tutorial
Ghoul shows how to create a spaceship from scratch. Nice one.

Psionic Design' Comprehensive Milkshape Tutorials
Psionic's got Milkshape fully covered - right from model creation, to skinning, to character animation. :up:

**legacy-TseTse** · 09-05-2002, 03:59 PM

also see Kempi's new site, www.3dmax.org

i believe he is going to focus quite a bit on game related modeling (with ut2k3 being a major emphasis).

legacy-Adam3da · 09-08-2002, 07:08 PM

somebody emailed me about hosting my site bu t I never heard from them again. whoever it was can you please email email me again.

legacy-matcoland · 09-16-2002, 09:27 AM

Okay, it is a shameless plug, but how about www.The3dStudio.com for a good 3D resource site.

legacy-Adam3da · 09-16-2002, 04:42 PM

Ive moved the site to

3D modeling - Tools and plug-ins

Habware's 3D Studio Max plug-ins - FREE
Great collection of tools - not all of them game modeling specific though. You can request for a plug-in, if you have the idea

Home of the Chilliskinner
A tool that makes texture mapping/skinning of your model easy. Two very good tutorials on the concept of unwrapping, plus three tutorials on using Chilliskinner complete the site.

Texporter
Texporter produces a color coded bitmap for your mesh after the mapping coords have been generated. :up:

ScriptSpot.com
A script and extension resource for Max.

Unreal Unit Convertor
By our very own Alien. Convert different units to Unreal Units and vice versa. Useful for all unreal engines, UT2003 and Unreal 2. A download version of the same tool is available off the site.

**legacy-TECHBOTA** · 09-26-2002, 01:35 PM

Well for unrealed tutorials pease dont leave me out. The banner says over 300 tutorials but its over 400 by now and there all kept up and catorgorized nicely. Ive also started linking ut2k3 tutorials.
When you get there go to the linked tutorial section in either ut or ut2k3.

**legacy-\/\/0RF** · 09-26-2002, 04:55 PM

I have actually been referencing techbota's linksite for some time now, it was a big help in compiling my UEd Bible for UT. I expect the same for UT2K3!!!!!

legacy-Blue Wolf72 · 09-27-2002, 12:59 AM
