Rhun / Modeling

« on: May 16, 2009, 01:09:31 AM »

Any questions about modeling? Ask them here.



My first question.

In 3ds max, is extrude the same as face extrude? I'm following a tutorial on making a pencil ( :$ ) and it says to add an extrude modifier. The version of 3ds max the creator of the tutorial is using happens to be outdated, and I cannot seem to find the modifier extrude anywhere. The closest thing I've found is face extrude, which doesn't seem to do the same thing that the person intended me to do.

Thanks in advance!

Rhun / Computer specs

« on: May 09, 2009, 04:54:38 PM »

Everybody post your PC specs(If you know them), so we know what everyone's working with.



OS: XP
CPU: Intel Celeron 2.0 single core.
RAML: 4 gigs DDR2
Video Card: 9800gtx+ 1 gig
Hard Drive: 160 gig

Video card over clocked to 810 GPU, 1850 Shader, 1025 Memory.




The CPU is the biggest bottleneck on my PC. I'll hopefully be replacing it soon.

My CPU isn't overclocked.




I'm probably missing something, but I can't think of anything else yet.

Rhun / What should I be doing?

« on: May 05, 2009, 06:31:38 PM »

I have a lot of free time, but am really new to modding M&B. What should I learn to do? What would most benefit the mod? Should I take up modeling? Or should I learn how to make troop trees? Or edit scenes? Or should I write dialog?

Like I said, I have plenty of time, so I should be able to learn something fairly fast.

As you know, I can edit pictures fairly well, and I can also write well.

Just let me know what you think.


Any suggestions?
