Hi guys

I'm a long way away from Datanet I know, but I'm hoping you can help me.

I have to get up to speed with Rhino 4.0 suite and 3ds Max, which I've just been handed at work for a project. I normally work in web, so 3D is certainly not my forte. I'm just wondering while I'm playing around with them - are there any Alleg models or anything I could mess around with in my spare time? Not to add to development of the game or anything

I'm not kidding myself. Purely for my own amusement and as a learning tool.

Cheers in advance

A fairly simple project would be remodling the IC small ships to make the engines rounder/more detailed. And as long as you don't change too much it'd be relatively easy to drop them in game too...

If i'm reading this right you want to know where you can get the models?

You need to get the MDLUtil etc.. stuff then the models themselves are in the artwork folder, not easily named but stuff like fig400.mdl, I think with MDLUtil or something you can convert it to so you can play with it on 3D Modelling software but im not an artwork guy so this may be inaccurate

Dont start on stuff thats difficult...
Just make a human head.. you find tons of tutorials on the net.
They got pretty much all you need to know on a basis level and more.
If you have questions.. come online and ask...

Thanks all

Good advice

@Zap - Rhino doesn't do people that well from what I've seen, and I'm a tech junkie anyway - I can do schematics, but my living things are about as good as a 5 year olds on paper

Ramaglor - yes please! I'll pm you my email address.
