Sizer's Tutorials
-
Good to know that students can get free licences, does this include Maya?
Maybe I can convince my niece to get a copy and load it on my PC (for her own use when she visits us, of course!)
I have a legit copy of GMAX12, I did find it easy if I remember (I was just starting out and switched to MilkShape). But it must be very dated now if there isn’t a new release?
The modelling can be done in so many modellers anyway wth good results, and then the problems are really in breaking the model into groups and making the .sur files. Both of these are straightforward now with Schmack’s sur tool.
The biggest problem (to me at any rate) is texturing nicely.
So, your tutes are a very welcome gift Sizer, thank you.

Just watched a bit of your tutorial and it’s quite good mate, cheers for taking the time to make it.
It’s been quite a few years since I’ve played around with Maya but I remember I just couldn’t get the hang of it at the time, thou now I’m starting to have a change of heart as it looks really attractive and I really like the UI layout and menus. -
My school’s made a believer out of me when it comes to Maya. I used to swear by 3ds Max. When it comes to renders, I still kinda do, its far more powerful in that respect… but when it comes to building geometry and uv layouts… nothing beats Maya.

Nice Part II Sizer. Thanks for continuing this series.
Err… check out your link to the nVidia DDS/Normals plugin please. I think it is fascinating!
-
Uh, I don’t use PS, it’s too expensive, do you have a Gimpshop alt?
-
I need the GIMP 2.6 plugins for DDS, otherwise my project is at a virtual standstill.
-
Yeah, just got them, the latest iteration for 2.6 the others won’t be so useful. I can’t use Gimp 2.8 kept getting crashes dealing with larger files.
UPDATE: I’m gonna make an original R-Type vessel for Discovery, perhaps the first of many original designs. Is that OK? They’ll each get a vessel-bound superweapon based on their purpose and design. How cool is that?
