Class #2 -- Here are your files!

Hi everybody,

Here are the files for you to download from Class#2. I uploaded all of your photos and your GMAX project files. Click the following link and you will see a list of the zipped files to download:

Feel free to download all of the files if you want. All the photos are in one big zip file called "All Photos From Class#2.zip".

Joshua, your GMAX file is "Modeling Box (EvilLegoBot).zip".

Rusty, your GMAX File is "Modeling Box (LegoTruck&Radar).zip".

Charminn, I made a GMAX File with your photos: "Modeling Box (Jeep).zip". But, I know that you plan to use Maya instead of GMAX, since GMAX doesn't run on your MAC. I plan to make an equivalent file in Maya and give it to you on Tuesday.

Austin, I made two additional files: "Modeling Box (Mech).zip" and "Modeling Box (ArrToo).zip". You can pick either one to practice with. I plan to do the next class lesson using "Modeling Box (Mech).zip". I think that using the other project file (ArrToo) would be fun too, since building a model of "R2D2" (robot from starwars movie) should be easy since his shape is very simple.

When you all unzip the GMAX project file, unzip into your GMAX "Scenes" directory. For example, after unzipping "Modeling Box (ArrToo).zip", you should have this directory tree: "C:\gmax\Scenes\Modeling Box (ArrToo)\Photos\ArrToo". The "ArrToo" JPEG photos should be in that directory folder. And the GMAX file "Modeling Box (ArrToo).gmax" should be in the directory folder ""C:\gmax\Scenes\Modeling Box (ArrToo)". Let me know if you have any problems with that.

Then open GMAX and open your gmax file. You should see a 3D box shape like the one I showed in class. It should have your photos painted on the inside walls of the box, with different photos on each view (Top, Left, Right, Front, etc).

Try doing a little of the modeling techniques I showed you in the class. We'll start right away on Tuesday doing those models.

By the way, in case you lost your tutorial handout sheets from the the last 2 classes, I will post those for you to download by Sat night hopefully. I'll send an email when they are ready for you to download.

See you Tuesday!
