yeah 9

press M for materials, choose the slot next to diffuse and select bitmap, then drag your texture over your model ;)

;A;

is there any difference between 7 and 9 ?

I dont like using Max anymore, Im using Maya, well Im starting with Maya :D

Where the hell can I get these plans ?

What's the main difference between those two?
Really.

Really.

Well, the main reason why Im moving to Maya is that my 3ds max trial was lagging, my computer isnt bad, It can run GTA 4 quite well..and Maya doesnt lag.
And Maya is better for the animation, I like it more.The interface is quite comfortable, Max isnt bad software it is really good for modeling, but since I want to be an animator I go with Maya.

BUT The cursors in Maya are terrible,imo :D I really hate them, I have to get used to the :)

That was my opinion, but generally, it depends just on you, what you like more, you can create awesome animation/graphics with both.

Absolutely Epic! xD

tronika, you mean a turbosmooth with 2 ITERATIONS right :P

and for the blueprints/plans : http://www.the-blueprints.com/



here's a small update:

Meshsmooth or Turbosmooth I've never known any difference between those two :D
Pretty good but there something weird going on with the polygons near front lights and front wheels.Still pretty decent :)

I hope you will animate it :D

meshsmooth calculates a smooth withouth addin additional polygons, turbosmooth calculates the smooth by doubling the amount of polygons.

for some reason turbosmooth runs smoother with higher iterations.

yeah it's still wip so I have alot to create/tweak :)

I won't animate it, just going to make a still render, if I would render the animation it would take a couple of days :P

but I always wanted to try and rig a car. it's hard tho and i have to find a decent tutorial first.

What PC do you have ?And how many polygons did you use ?

I have a medion laptop :P 2gb ram 1.86ghz processor and a shitty 128 mb shared video card.

the polycount on this one is

with turbosmooth: 14.102
withouth turbosmooth: 227
