UltimateStance's WIP Workshop

OK, so my actual username isn't UltimateStance, but I've been wanting to change it to that for a Longtime now. Anyway, I managed to get the Student version of 3DS Max and Composite 2014. This, unlike the old cracks, is fully legal.NOPE, 3DS Max 2016 ONLY now, new pc and shit. No longer legal (idk). I've started to learn how to model, but to be frank, the tutorials are shit, and I can't ever get them positioned correctly. So i'm starting on my own, learning as I go along, beginning with the extre

Holy_Shit_Man

I've never seen polygon with curved edges :wtf:

UltimateStance

Meshsmooth huh.

David_2709

Will you finish this one or nah?
would be a decent car to make a V8 swap in

UltimateStance

Should I untick 'Apply to whole mesh' on the meshsmooth tool? all my edges are curved when they shouldn't be.
(I've seen wht it does, and the arch would have more flat edges, but more accuracy.)

And yes, I will try and finish this one. All of them so far have either been to rare, too difficult or just too shit tbh. And I just didn't feel like they were worth doing.
But David, it will already come with the SLK320 AMG V6 (if i make it), so why bother? I see your point though, V8 swap would make this thing a beast, maybe BB's LS3?

Holy_Shit_Man

Meshsmooth is more accurate

If you untick Apply to whole mesh, it'll smooth only polies you choose

UltimateStance

Wow, well 3/4 of those smileys didn't work.
I'm using the modifier of MeshSmooth in Max 2012, not 5.1. You can't select the polys you want to smooth.

David_2709

Ford Coyote 5.0 😃

Holy_Shit_Man

You are wrong, you can. It's the same in Max 5 and 2012

UltimateStance

Ahhh. Why are my blueprints all fucked up like this?! They used to be all black details. Help!

Holy_Shit_Man

You've just turned contrast down. Jeez... It's so hard to fix?

UltimateStance

Wanna know what it was?
I started this in Max 2010 before I realized it was shit and went to 2012. So when I opened it in 2012, it gave me the message, as with any older files, to either adapt or keep the Gamma and LUT settings. When I went into the Gamma and LUT settings on Preferences, the 'Enable Gamma and LUT Correction' was ticked. I unticked it, and it reverted back to normal.

Nope, it wasn't so hard to fix.

UltimateStance

The thing that REALLY gets me with this car is that the SLK32 AMG, with its 354bhp, can top 193mph without the limiter (which I pretty much think I can make fingers crossed). That, for an SLK, is fucking fast.

UltimateStance

There ya go. Even with BB vision. Both wings + bonnet (stock with bulges)

UltimateStance

OK, got my shit together, started to remake my unfinished project/s. Going back to the beginning, remaking the Capri first.
By looking at some of Harrision15's wires, I noticed that I don't need MS to have high poly meshes.
Reset Max 2012 to factory settings, got rid of all the shit settings, got to work.

No moar abandoned projects!

Holy_Shit_Man

Afaik all Harry's mods are Forza-based. However, you've finally got something right. Now it can be only better, right?

UltimateStance

Yup.
I was mainly looking at his newer R33 wires, are they Forza based meshes(?)
He reworked some of them, which means he must've had the meshes from the original model. And even so, you almost never get the detail that he's gotten in his R33 from Forza models. T10 just make stuff visible in-game; interior, body and lights. No engine, no underside. (almost) No aftermarket parts...

But yeah, I'm taking a new approach on things. More polygons, no MS (or T(urbo)Smooth) 😃

UltimateStance

The Capri my mum had, in the early 90s:

And here it is in real life: (I can leave the license plate, it's been scrapped for 20 years 🙁 )

Notice the red sticker on the left of the tailgate that says 'CABARET'. These things are now rare as fuck.

And here was it's replacement after the 1.6 Pinto engine threw a piston: A 'Rosso Red' 2.0 Laser. After my oldest brother was born, he sold the Laser and got a Volvo 940 Wentworth 2.0-litre. With a non-working turbo.
Doge will probably disagree that the 940 was a downgrade... :lolhitting:

It was towed away...

And replaced-note my dad washing the bonnet at the time.

That picture (^) is special to my dad, because it is the only one he has of that car. He misses it. He also can't remember at all what the number plate of it read.

And you can't tell from the picture because of the shadows.

UltimateStance

Making something new, not telling anyone what it is. Unless they can find it.

If you spent time looking for this, I pity you. You have way too much time on your hands.

Holy_Shit_Man

Are you going to model engine and rest of stuff too?

UltimateStance

Damn. Don't tell anyone what it is, let them find out.

Maybe. Maybe not. Depends on how long it takes.
