[DerpBanana]

Great tutroials, don't stop! :(

[uhgamemaker]

Hi Folks, I'm back, really sorry for such long break, had allot of university work to do, the new video will be back up tomorrow :)

[ThePillarOfSpartan]

does he still do these and if yes whats the lesson plan

[MultiSamjames]

i cant defuse the tv on that rectangle [ is there any difference for max 2010]

[NickDAGreat22]

r u still making these

[TheADDcat]

Thank you for making this tutorial! It's very informative and helpful. By the way, it's fun to listen to your accent XD Thank you again!

[TheJoee3000]

okay, how do you make all the pieces of the mesh stick together. when i tried cloning the low rez mesh only the box moved and not the circle dials

[Dbzamended]

What version of 3ds max are you using... 2010, 2011, or 2012?

[uhgamemaker]

@Dbzamended 2012 ;)

[Dbzamended]

@uhgamemaker I updated it and now I found like realistic and edged vertices. Ha! It was because I had the 20113ds Max.

[Dbzamended]

Thanks I got it too work

[Dbzamended]

Whenever I use the swift tool the lines don't show up.

[uhgamemaker]

@Dbzamended hmm, make shore that the edged faces are on, and that you are in editable poly mode, but it should work, drop me a screen shot on Facebook ill have a look

[TheJoee3000]

yeah but like it wont let me use it how your using it in the video. its completely different. i dont even have that ball thing when you use the move or rotate tool

[uhgamemaker]

@TheJoee3000 hmmm try hiting X on the keyboard, its to toggle on and off the translation tool which is the ball thing you said, but the ball thing is just for rotate for move its just arrow. also make shore you select the cube before you trying to move it and stuff, and also try to use short keys on keyboard which are "W" to move "E" to rotate and "R" to scale, see if it works, if not send me a print screen on face book on what happiness when you trying to move or rotate.

[TheJoee3000]

my 3ds max wont let me use any of the snap tools. and i cant select any of the vertices

[uhgamemaker]

@TheJoee3000 you don't need to use snap tool, just angle snap, but you just turn it on and its there for ever, and to select vertices you must first convert mesh in to editable poly

[Dbzamended]

What is the difference between a poly and a mesh?

[uhgamemaker]

@Dbzamended you mean editable poly and editable mesh? well its just 2 different sets of modelling ways and tools, im not quite shore specificity but i always use editable poly

[Dbzamended]

What about edged vertices?

[uhgamemaker]

@Dbzamended what about them ? :)

[Dbzamended]

I did it thank you

[2mustange]

Your videos are awesome, keep them coming

[ziodice]

The plane dissapeared when I dragged the TV pic onto it

[uhgamemaker]

@ziodice that is strange, try restarting 3ds max, and do it againe

[ziodice]

@uhgamemaker alright

[lynx774110]

@uhgamemaker i meant in game cutscenes

[uhgamemaker]

@lynx774110 yeah we definatly going to do some of these

[thedennisgame]

Great tutorials.

But you have a little accent.

Are you maybe Dutch ??

[uhgamemaker]

@thedennisgame thanks, not quite, im Russian :)

[thedennisgame]

@thedennisgame I ve got a friend hes got a kind of english accens like you.

But your english is great.

Keep the great tuts comming.

You wil be YT Partnet in no time :D

[lynx774110]

hey will there be a lesson one day after we learn how to make static meshes and characters about cutscenes

[uhgamemaker]

@lynx774110 well do you mean rendered cinematic cut scenes? or just in game cut scenes? cause cinematic would be allot of work, and would take hours of tutorials, but i could give you some links on where you can start, as of in game cut scenes, defiantly that we could do

[Dbzamended]

I can not find shaded? Could you help? Thanks

[uhgamemaker]

@Dbzamended left top corner you will see 3 words: [+],[perspective] and [realistic]

if you just click on [realistic] you will find shaded in there ;)

[Dbzamended]

@uhgamemaker I don't have realistic?

[Dbzamended]

@uhgamemaker There is no realistic on mine? 

[uhgamemaker]

@Dbzamended is there shaded?

[Dbzamended]

@uhgamemaker No there isn't.

[uhgamemaker]

@Dbzamended open 3ds max an make a print screen and post it on my Facebook page, ill have a look for you

[Dbzamended]

@uhgamemaker Alright one sec

[Dbzamended]

@uhgamemaker or edged vertices

[Dbzamended]

Never mind again, I figured it out, sry

[Dbzamended]

How do I make the 3d mesh smaller like flattening it out?

[Dbzamended]

Do you think that in the future you will be able to show us how to make objects breakable?

[uhgamemaker]

@Dbzamended well that will be a super advanced class but i might try ;)

[Dbzamended]

Never mind, I believe I have fixed it.

[Dbzamended]

Whenever I try to make a box over the reference it flashes behind then in front of it, what could be the problem? 

[uhgamemaker]

@Dbzamended it could be that it creates both in same space, try to make a box in perspective view, and then align it with the reference

[Dbzamended]

I believe I might have an older version of the material editor but I can't seem to find modules? Thanks in advance

[uhgamemaker]

@Dbzamended post a print screen on the game makers facebook page, ill have a look for you

[uhgamemaker]

@Dbzamended i think everything is fine acording to your screenshot, it just has less materials visible, i didn't show how to change that, but just use these 6, you can also scroll up and down ;)

[tinnato]

when u say incest u mean inset :) in- set not insest 

[uhgamemaker]

@tinnato yeah, sorry my talking is sometimes funny

[Dbzamended]

Is there something I should have selected before I hold alt to move around in 3d?

it just makes a selection box?

[uhgamemaker]

@Dbzamended you need to hold Alt and the midle mouse button( the wheel ) just push on it, that should work

[Dbzamended]

@uhgamemaker Thank you very much. it worked.

[Dbzamended]

Love the accent, where are you from?

[uhgamemaker]

@Dbzamended gues :)

[Dbzamended]

@Dbzamended ummm... Canada lol sry if it is a bad guess

[Dbzamended]

@Dbzamended Russia?

[uhgamemaker]

@Dbzamended yup, russia, but i live in UK

[Dbzamended]

@uhgamemaker I thought Russia at first but because I have a Canadian friend that says "zed" for z lol. But your accent is definitely Russia. Do you have Windows Live Messenger?

[uhgamemaker]

@Dbzamended i have skype :)

[Dbzamended]

@uhgamemaker Do you think that you would be able to get Windows Live Messenger? Oh and I put up the picture

[uhgamemaker]

@Dbzamended maybe, will see :) but u better get skype its really good, and its free. skype.com ;)



[Dbzamended]

Because I saw a Normandy model tutorial in the description

[uhgamemaker]

@Dbzamended yeah i use to love that game, so i made that ship, but it was loooong time ago

[Dbzamended]

@uhgamemaker You are really really really good at modeling after seeing your model I passed out, You have talent. I have been bragging saying "look at my friend's models aren't they great" lol

[uhgamemaker]

@Dbzamended thanks man, i'm really glad you like it :)

[Dbzamended]

Do you like mass effect, the video game?

[Dbzamended]

Very wonderful job explaining every step and showing me how to do this. I was just searching for autodesk tutorials but yours is by far the best I have seen. Great job, Can't wait for the rest. 100/5 :)

~Dbzamended

[uhgamemaker]

@Dbzamended thanks man, i'm really glad you like it ;)

[jkocik3]

im having a problem with the 3ds max software, i have the unregistered version and it seems glitched or something, i tried to follow along with the steps but the software is very blurry and when i switched from realistic view to shaded view it completely glitched the program. also when i tried to make the box see through it is not see through it is just static looking. should i register it for the 30 day trial or uninstall it and try again? it doesn't work the way it does for you in this video

[uhgamemaker]

@jkocik3 its very strange, no i think the trial activates automatically once you turn it on. i think it might be that your graphics card or computer is not strong enough to use 3ds max.. what is your PC spec?

[uhgamemaker]

@uhgamemaker take a print screen of what you see, and send post it on the gamemakers face book page

ill see if its something i know of. i hope we going to fix it ;)

[jkocik3]

@uhgamemaker ok i posted images on gamemakers fb page

[uhgamemaker]

@jkocik3 ok its definatly your graphics card, cant pull it off... give me a minute and ill find a way for you how to make it work

ill post a mini tutor on FB for you

[jkocik3]

@uhgamemaker thank you very much, most appreciated
