Ok, started a new robot today. I want to make something that’ll show off HDR maps a bit more than my last project. This is my work on the upper thigh so far… I’ll be working on the leg most of the day. It’ll eventually be a smaller scale robot than my last one… sort of a character more than a bulky machine. Tell me know what you think so far (bearing in mind it has just been started today) ---

A bit more of the leg… should be interesting. I haven’t really done anything like this one before. ---

hehe, yeah that one! I’ve switched my focus onto developing my poor texturing skills. Hopefully if I can get my skills up I’ll be able to put something into a convincing scene… I want to make it look photo-realisitic, but not real… if that makes sense. ---

> \*Originally posted by morse \* > \*\*How did you make that texture? \*\* I used a falloff-fresnel map in the reflection slot and a HDR lat/long map in the environment slot with spherical mapping. The material is a brazil test material. > how many Kilobyte or Megabytes is 3D Studio Max? r3 is about 100-110 mb (on the CD) r4 is about 142mb (on the CD) r5 is about 570mb (on the CD) They are all bigger after installation (well I assume 4 and 5 are bigger, I don’t have them). Bryce 2 was one of the first 3D apps I ever bought… disappointing really. It doesn’t have much in the way of modelling tools, but you can make some pretty convincing landscapes. ---
