Hey bro, You Model Like a Sir...

I saw your rendered Jackson R22 Custom and I loved all your job... I'm starting on the 3D modeling and I can see how harder it is... :S

Can you render a guitar for me? I have a well done schematic, it just needs to be made into 3D.

hey dude sorry to bother you, i was just wondering hwo you export your maya files to hypershot, the only one i can see is the fbx and i was just wondering if thats a stable format?

cheers in advance

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

AfroAfroguy In reply to ShazzleCov [2009-07-12 22:01:04 +0000 UTC]

No bother.

Use obj.

NOTE!!!!! Bunkspeed doesent use groups, it uses materials. So group your objectwith colour.

E.g In Maya i apply a vivid lambert shader to each material group (chrome parts, glass parts, body colour parts etc) when you are done your model will look like a hippies dream. Then export a .OBJ with materials turned on. DONT TRY GROUPS IT WILL NOT WORK!

Import the file into hypershot and apply the materials you want.

(tip: If you right click on a part of your car e.g windscreen you can hide thet material set. I use this to hide all the parts with correct materials applied so i can clearly see what still needs work.)

Using this method all of the UV cordinates are preserved as well.

Have Fun!!

wow amazing gallery, do all the 3d modellers at jag use maya? i always thought it was studiotools?

Im hoping to apply for work placement at gayden in my third year of uni so fingers crossed

AfroAfroguy In reply to ShazzleCov [2009-06-08 06:06:47 +0000 UTC]

The 3d modellers in JLR use Alias for crappy quick stuff. And Icem surf for the A-class work.

I use Icem at work, Maya at home for my own stuff.

Work placments = Good times. I took a work placment with BMW's design facility in Munich. Best year of my life so far. The contact I made that year helped het the the job at JLR.
