[luigi12356]

[nishalyn]

What is the shortcut keys for rotating without clicking the top box or hand tool?

[groov539]

If you press down on your mouse wheel while holding "ALT", you can do a rotational pan of your viewport.

[ziggy140]

dude how the hell can you learn like this, i hate poeple who post videos where tehyre doing it all fast . teach us man, slow dwn

[uniform2007]

Right at 0:14 you should have seen an annotation telling about my other videos that explains this technique in details. If you can't read English then I can't help you.

[VisualNoizze]

Awesome stuff sir. I am up to pt.6 and this is the first time I have any success with modeling a head...very thorough..thanks...

[LioNOHEart]

slow the fuck down

and get to youre self a mike

[uniform2007]

Before you use the "F" words, open your "F" eyes and read description of the video you're watching. Then check my other "F" videos that has my F voice on a F mike.

[LioNOHEart]

lol

take it easy man

sorry for that

[uniform2007]

no worries, we're cool.

[619randy]

lol that was "F" epic

[Knightmare3000]

@LioNOHEart

Calm the hell down son. That's why youtube gifted us with a PAUSE BUTTON on the video.

[shadethewolf2]

how do u make the simple ground?

[XomB]

Theres no sound :(

[GTAISDASHT]

i added more segments but nothing fixes the football shape

[GTAISDASHT]

could someone help every time i use "spherify" modifier it shapes the box like a football

[mody1710]

add more segments at the start . that shall do it.

[ivanchoiii]

1.Make length segments - 2 Width segment - 2

 Height segments - 4

2. add spherify modifier to the box

[ulaanaamn]

@ivanchoiii cool thanks big help ;)

[justonelife1]

which is more user friendly 3ds max or maya

[0ctober31st]

the price of Maya Complete from US $7500 to US$1999.

Are you going to do CGI renderings for hollywood films? lol.

3ds Max is more simple. maya is what pros use cause of the extra features etc... Abit overkill for the average user imo.

[dudewew]

there like the same

[Alusaint]

free human references

[Alusaint]

hey when I use my move tool it only shows the

the black four arrows but the yellow box green

red and blue arrows wont show any more do you know how i can solve this problem.

[TheMMOGMaker]

Press "x" :).

[Tumzzela]

Hey mate,how did u make ur UI Black?

[Skyrodude]

typ in google:

Free 3dsmax templates/skins

[turusan02]

this is ame-dark, a template that comes with max, you can set it under "customize">"custom UI and Default Switcher". You can also customize the colors further yourself in "customize">"Customize User Interface">"colors", among other things.

[mikeverret]

ya, great tutorial, BUT.. its hard to follow mainly because, most of the time I have no idea what your selecting.. and you don't talk in it, so most of the time I guess what I have to do.. look, if your going to make a tutorial, do it right. The final output comes out great though.

[Hazard33]

Yeah, i can't even begin right away because of that, if you could speak in it too then the tutorial is complete. otherwise it's gonna be really hard to follow this.

[realgray]

I LOVE the colors you use for your max layout. It's easier on my eyes to have a dark layout in the programs I use. Could you post your custom rgb settings?

[GerLanT]

Thank you for your tutorials:)

[Jaxsrb]

awsome

[rosshildick]

poor, ur skilled but your not telling anyone about the importance material.

[uniform2007]

such as?

[rosshildick]

this was a while ago im not sure what i ment by "importance material" lol but what i think i ment was your not teaching us anything - its more or less you showing off tbh - you go too fast and im only patronised and no better off - just saying...

[uniform2007]

Well, like some other user you too haven't seen my other videos so do check 'em out.

[potci]

Is to fast.I dont understand why you make that simetry? please write down here

[uniform2007]

have u seen my other videos?

[darksmaster923]

you need to add what your doing, or else no one else will know how to make a low poly head

[uniform2007]

u need to see my other videos.

[soovantha]

best

[JonaasK]

he click on spherify.

[hellview666]

What did you click for the cube to become round...It's as if you're going too face with this... Any way you could record your voice over the video please? Or give a written tutorial? Thanks

[wazackenzie]

ace, you give me hope

when u right click and choose option the splits the poly, eg nose area, what did u click

[uniform2007]

Check out my other videos, I have the whole tutorial in 10 parts explaining what tools to use.

[TrunksGaara]

tow tow powerrangers

[D4rkS7der]

XD XD XD

[neofytos7]

i question how do you make 3ds max black mine is white and i hate it

[hassanalqbain]

from workspace!

[neofytos7]

well i know that but what options do you hit?

[hassanalqbain]

my friend its on of the default workspaces there !

[L33tm4st3r]

you go up to the customize drop down menu at the top and choose custom UI scheme or something like that.

[spider853]

interesting technique... new for me :)...

[BigShado]

fukin kwl

[TVEyez]

Nice tut! However anybody with any sort of 3D Max training can bust out a this box model in no time.

[kurdistan1989]

i use exactly the same method for head modeling but i always faile to model the nose and mouth...

[spiritobscura]

sooperb. Although telling what buttons u used would've been perfect but it gives the basic box modeling technique.

[darkmccloud]

Great tutorials, waiting for part 6. Appreciated : )

[Arisbay]

Hey Uniform, this is the coolest SILENT TUTORIAL I`d ever seen. Say how long did it take to model that head? and is it possible to receive tutorials from you?

[uniform2007]

Thanks. The head you see in this video was done in about 5 minutes. I don't have any other video tutorials at this point but seeing the response from the community I'll try to put up some and post it on YouTube. I'll even try to redo this one with voice and go a bit slow. I don't know how long it will take me though.

[uniform2007]

I have started redoing this tutorial with voice and in multiple parts. The first 2 parts are uploaded already. Enjoy. More videos to come later.

[ericrubinoff]

You can make the monster from lord of the rings with a 2 month render eh.. I beat you, im still waiting for my movie render to finish, its been 2 years now and im still waiting!, the modelling took me almost a year.

[pretiasimwh]

nice....i can make the monster from lord of te rings took me 2 months lol,,,and the render 1 month cause my computer is crappy oh welll

[defm2]

What was the first thing you did with the box? What modifier is that?

[uniform2007]

Spherify modifier on a 2x2x4 segmented cube.

[Thoms5436]

That was some good modeling, very nice

[creatingideas]

[Garfler]

That's kinda how I made my head but I started with 3 planes for it's face, somehow it got buggy and I couldn't split the eyes :'S

[DaRealMo3Jo3]

realy nice but a way to fast

[quagmire444]

wow your good

[CGmachine]

Thanks for the help

[dartdude6]

Can you redo this video with a voice over?

[uniform2007]

I have a 2 month old kid and no time to do anything these days so I can't promise but if I get time then I will definately try.

[CGmachine]

though*

[CGmachine]

lol, i want to see how they actually made the game thought, what language(s) do you reckon they used C++? i want to put my creations into a game too, have any of you guys? and if so, how? please

[sashc777]

erm yes very long work cba explaining but when you have all your rigs and animations you gotta code it :S well its hard :P but if you go to uni for multimedia or something and learn game design they will teach you obviously :P i havent made a game but i know how to :P i aint that good to make games yet

[P1TT1]

They made WoW in 3ds max... :D

[sashc777]

they made almost everything with max..

[Garfler]

Well 3ds Max is used 4 almost every game, but maya is used for every visual effect in movies, and next-gen games for instance ps3 games.

[anjavada]

hi can u help me wif 3d max i jus got it n dnt reali no wot to do thanks

[XxDonPerryonxX]

how you got the toolbar on the left that goes vertical

(nice work)

[uniform2007]

You can float toolbars, dock them to left, right, bottom and top. It would help you more if you read about it in the user manuals, the chapter is called "customizing the user interface".

[aymericblok]

verry nice vid. the only thing i want to know is how u make that kind of instance copy, but ive mailed you for that..

keep going

[uniform2007]

I used "Symmetry" modifier for the instance half. I used "Spherify" modifier in the beginning to round the original box shape.

[tunggulaja]

Man thanks for posting this vid, it helps a lot. Any chance on posting the continuation or a new vid on easy modelling?

[mrbenstudios]

I think this is an excellent video for starting to model a head, I followed it and have produced my first head with it. Shame there wasn't any guidance for the steps following, I had to make it up and try my best but still a good vid.

[uniform2007]

mrbenstudios, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. I did this long time ago and just posted it for fun. I'm glad it helped you a little.
