In Sketchup you can always do 'File / Export / 3D Model / (choose 3ds)' and it is exported

Ok i made a LCD Monitor in 3DS Max 7 and i need some texturing and environment rendering and i want to know who can do this?
Just tell me what you need and i will give it to you (if you accept of course) [i am using "you" to refer to the one who accepts].

Here's what i have done (image):

Texturing? can't you just open Material Editor and then erh... click some button (i forgot which pfff) and it opens a screenie on the right that shows somewhat like a directory-list and choose bitmap and import bitmap? Atleast thats how i thought it works... hmmm mebbe prince knows hehe

I don't need Texturing anymore i just need an Environment.
Also how do you make something reflect cuz i want the frame of the Screen to reflect light or something like that, Or is this step done in Environment Rendering?

I don't know how to do it in Sketchup, but in 3DS Max you hike the specular level and glosiness of the material.

Ok here's my final result, tell em what you think (it's my first model):

teh icons X.x

nice model though

Vimenze · Post by **Vimenze** » 20 Mar 2007, 01:27

finally done rendering! The bridgestone logo isn't perfectly bend, but it looks quite ok to me =) i rendered it in very high poly but i suck at the innerside of the rim =P if anyone wants to have a 3Ds of it, i can export it in medium poly *nods*

korge · Post by **korge** » 20 Mar 2007, 01:37

Looks gud except the logo is too sharp on such a model. Just looks like you pasted it on in Photoshop.

Vimenze · Post by **Vimenze** » 20 Mar 2007, 01:40

yeah, i expected that reply hehe dunno how to make it less sharp though unless i start adding textures to it... bit 'crackling' or something ... pffff how come i think of that now *sighs* well it's late to do another render =P will do it tomm

extrude the text and apply chamfer to the edges, or better yet apply a bevel to it.

Vimenze · Post by **Vimenze** » 20 Mar 2007, 12:11

ok.. now in Rhino3D language? *grins*
i have made a small update with texture on it, however.... something went wrong *laughs* so i'm missing the innerpart

My second 3D attempt i know it's not great but i am still a begginer

McLaren_dude · Post by **McLaren_dude** » 23 Mar 2007, 22:30

thats good, looks great too

oooh, what happened to the reflections? The model is really nice, btw.

weedman173 · Post by **weedman173** » 23 Mar 2007, 23:31

Maybe he didn't set a reflection map.

BrontoX · Post by **BrontoX** » 23 Mar 2007, 23:40

I am still figuring out how to work with it (i am using 3DS Max 7) so if you could tell me how to make a reflaction map i would be grateful.

EDIT: I found out how here is the result:

It still looks weird.

Mind posting the wireframe?

BrontoX · Post by **BrontoX** » 24 Mar 2007, 10:16

Well i hope this is what you wanted:

Remember i am not an expert.

xHaZxMaTx · Post by **xHaZxMaTx** » 24 Mar 2007, 10:35

Ah, your spokes aren't evenly spaced apart. And the geometry on the two top spokes seem s a little smooshed.

BrontoX · Post by **BrontoX** » 24 Mar 2007, 11:04

Here are my other versions:

xHaZxMaTx · Post by **xHaZxMaTx** » 24 Mar 2007, 19:16

Try adding meshsmooth once or twice more. It looked really smooth in the wireframe, but it's horrendously low-poly in the render.

Hope this solved the problem also i made a wheel:
